The EU hates to have to relax its rules, and Ursula Von Der Leyen does complain a lot every time. I don't think it's a strategy, and it may be bc it's broke after Trump's resignation, so its subject Nations have huge leverage atm. Every time the EU surrenders a bit, we see a new unprecedented surge in migrants only two days later almost on the clock.
When it comes to politicians being sold out puppets, I personally look at whether or not the EU and its ruling Liberals use brutal warfare against their party, like with the AfD of Germany - very promising.
Never got to see if that's been the case with Italy's Meloni, but her skizo migration approach is very suspect, and I don't entirely trust Japan's new PM either, though perhaps a little more since she's extremely cozy with Trump. Also why his Pearl Harbor remarks had no effect on her, and prob not on the Japanese either. It was remarks of admiration, and Japan will def not be shy to report on the entirety of that. Another culture in many ways.
You mean the Free Hamas crowd that Liberals imported fascist reinforcements for? These rioters are deliberately and routinely destroying legit local protesters' actual demands for resources
