Fuck the EU. I hope it collapses.

It will, because it must. Expect more defense-of-tyrants tyranny until it does.

What will it take for the EU to collapse? From 1 January coming, Croatia will sacrifice their currency and land borders for more EU integration. Maybe the sanctions on Russia, that have already backfired on the EU, will collapse the EU. But European media would have you believe that the EU is stronger than ever.

It is impossible for a political union to endure without a monetary union. So it must collapse. IDK what it will take, but it can't go on.

Well, we already have Bulgaria and Romania angry at Austria over the former countries not being let into Schengen (which is a blessing in disguise for them). Italy's right wing government may still be pro-EU and pro-NATO, but they are standing up to Germany and France. Germany had a failed coup attempt, which might have been overblown by the press, but it underscores levels of anger among the German population that have not been seen in such a long time. Germany and Poland are fighting because Poland is accusing Germany of being Russia's bitch (not true anymore) and Germany resents Poland for having to cut back on power consumption because Germany was heavily dependent on Russia for energy supplies. Not helping that the Polish government is trying to drag NATO into a war with Russia which most people in Europe do not want, even if we are scared of Russia. Sweden and Finland are begging Turkey to let them in NATO, Turkey is teasing them and many anti-Turkish groups in Europe are angry at the Swedish and Finnish governments for pandering to Turkey. And Hungary is still doing whatever they please whilst giving Brussels the middle finger.

Who knows? Maybe the EU will implode in my lifetime.

Fight back or fade into serfdom.

Meanwhile the IRS is tracking payments over $600.
