Well I’m glad common sense hasn’t completely left the EU.
“Tax and regulation issues are the preserve of our national parliaments and the European parliament,” Macron said. “We won’t let anyone else decide for us,” he said.
“Should such measures be taken, it would qualify as coercion and prompt a response from the Europeans,” he added, referring to the EU’s anti-coercion instrument, which allows the bloc to punish countries seeking to pressure it to change its policies.
Merz’ quote was decidedly more wishy-washy than that, btw.
I concur and it’s playing against current politicians in the EU. But, we don’t have enough air defenses, we still don’t produce enough ammo to arm those that defend our eastern side. So we are, for the time being , limited in our actions and can only issue strongly worded letters while getting those things to move.
The humiliation of it isn’t lost on many European voters, I’m just afraid their rightfull anger at the situation will get channelled by those that obey US and Russian interests.

It all starts with such talk only to cave in later. I wouldn’t hold my breath.
