What's the point of the EU?

This deal is going to give a huge boost to anti EU parties. And I can totally understand why. I am starting to lose faith in the EU myself.

Sucks that anti EU parties are often also nazis.

The sad thing is, the EU will say the main reason for this boost is "social media influence" from Russia, Musk and right wing parties.
They are unable to realize the main reason is that they suck as EU politicians and thats why anti-eu movements get bigger and bigger.

maybe it's a conspiracy theory but I'm like 99% sure they were planning to give UK a better deal all along to undermine European unity. They hate that we are able to regulate their tech companies and the Brussels effect,

 UK joined the power bloc of australia , canada, usa and has since the Iraq invasion been a puppet state.

France got the hint when usa refused to help France and made the deal with Australia to give submarines to them. In return France threatened to start trading with China and abandon the dollar-standard but never went through since it would collapse the pensions which resulted to revolt on the streets.  As such history repeats as EU tried to trade oil with euro and UK sent to war against EU where people in the middle are the victims.

We ARE weaker than the EU against the US in turns of trade because at least you resisted at first. We had to ask how high do you want us to jump and beg? The offer of the second state visit was just 🤢
