      The EU simply can’t compete effectively with the US and China when a single country’s veto hamstrings the entire bloc’s ability to act. All foreign powers have to do is buy off one small country’s government and the EU’s ability to act is effectively paralyzed for months if not years.

      Imagine if Vermont could singlehandedly block acts of Congress in Washington, or if Jilin Provence could unilaterally veto Beijing. It’s utterly ridiculous from a geopolitical perspective.

      The EU needs to reform or it will continue its relative decline to regional power status or, worse yet, fall apart entirely.

      The article summarized says that Merz urged the EU to unblock a stalled €90B loan for Ukraine, calling out Hungary’s Orbán for using a politically motivated veto tied to April elections. The EU is now looking at ways to bypass Hungary entirely.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

      Is there a reason why Germany, France, and Italy for example can’t just provide their own loans to Ukraine at 30 Billion each or loan whatever they can afford to?

      One would have thought the EU would have learned from the disaster of Poland in the transition from medieval to early modern: You cannot have any sort of governmental structure that requires unanimous consent from all regions / members.

      If a country is so untrusting of the EU that it refuses to agree with a decision almost every other member is in favor of, they probably should never have become a member in the first place.

      Did the Chancellor provide a mechanism to do this? Or was he simply blowing smoke?

      Hungary is like the US, occupied by a Putin stooge.  The EU needs to help Ukraine.

      There are no rules anymore, it’s just might makes right.

      Could easily tell Hungary to kick rocks.

      Introducing a voting system to bypass a couple of pro-Putin countries is long overdur

      EU’s mistake was making unanimity a thing in the first place where a simple majority would’ve been sufficient in the first place. Just allows single bad actors like Orban to roadblock anything to get their way

      Let’s state the bloody obvious. The EU should not be held to ransom by an individual country.

      End of.
