it has so much potential

why is the image not visible? is it just me?
It will never be. It cannot be.
We all know how slow a democracy is. It takes a major event or crisis to stir up politicians to act in a timely manner and with vigor.
Now imagine the absolute dumpster fire that would need to burn to get 27 democracies to get their shit together. I doubt anything short of a full-scale invasion of EU territory by Russia would do.
The US was, for better or worse, a sort-of functioning democracy until the late 2010s. And it did quite well.
All it needed was a russian agent infiltrating the white house to damage the country
I think the horrible truth might just be that democracy is flawed. I don't know if there is anything that is better than it but clearly it can be infiltrated by bad actors.
Part of me really does wish that sci-fi AI existed that would just make the humans do the good things.

I really hope Europe finally gets it's shit together and dominates the world. It's been 60 years and you all have been pacifist pussies the entire time and allowed Russia to take over everything.
@BaroqueInMind @bleistift2 pacifist because the org literally exists to stop everyone in it blowing each other up though
And yet here you are, all of Europe in an existential crisis because a dumb fuck Russian oligarch has manipulated useful idiots within your org to blow you up from the inside anyway.

Been there, done that. Owned the world.
No such thing as a good global power. I'd rather see the dissolution of the EU than see it evolve into a global power, especially if that means being anything like current global powers.
Then what's the correct order? If the EU dissolves first, it'll become West Russia.
If China worked closely with Europe on free trade and defence, it could challenge any attempts at shenanigans from Russia and the US.
