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 thing about it is that while democracy is not perfect and can be abused, autocracies like Hungary and Russia are broken in so fundamental ways that it does not even compare.
I mean, yeah we have AfD getting a lot of votes. Russia had a rogue general lead his troops to the capital in an attempted coup.
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.
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.
It will never be. It cannot be.

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

@BaroqueInMind @bleistift2 pacifist because the org literally exists to stop everyone in it blowing each other up though
Good point :)
