Good politics, a working democracy, good journalism usually should appear boring. Excitement is for sports, arts and everything sex.
I think calling the EU a middle power is category error. It isn’t a single power and given the size of it’s economy and military middle doest sound right
For sure!
The EU isnt a middle power, it’s a large group of middle powers turning into a superpower.
It’s interesting to see how Russia has become so irrelevant that it isn’t even mentioned in the article.
Let’s see how stable it is in 10 years.
I’m not bored!
Middle power is not an adequate description. ‘Or great power is. The EU is strange, both weak and omnipotent, which os why MAGA nationalists and far right types across the world hate it. They see what it might come to represent to them.
It is multidimensional and hard to grasp, and scholars in international relations, especially those of the so-called realist breed, in the US have been at pains to describe something they do not understand.
Yeah, let’s not celebrate too much. Don’t even want to think about some future elections.
There should be much more progress besides some trade deals, if this stability is supposed to exist in the next generation. There might no longer be a chance then.
Europe’s potential is far beyond that, if we could get our shit together, we could become a Superpower on our own merit.
The USA and Russia would hate it tho.
There is nothing boring about stability. It allows you to do extraordinary things. Keep your destabilized shit shows.
Judging by what I was able to read from the free excerpt, the EU is called a middle power solely on the grounds that the US and China are superpowers, while everyone else is of a lower order.
I’m confident that Trump will successfully deal with America’s might by destroying it, and the US and the EU will end up on an equal footing in that regard

Perhaps it’s time for Europe to take over the world again to make it stable and boring s/
It’s like getting a medal of participating…
Boring is good.
This continent is NPC when it comes to geopolitics.
I hope so. What the EU really needs right now is oil and natural gas and a unified defense. They need to get these things solved quickly and federate further to have a chance in this new world we are now living in.
„boring stability“ when every fucking week we keep trying to pass policy that our own human rights court has said would be illegal. We’re a few bad policies away from our democracies falling to ruin.
