    Yeah it’s a difficult situation and I might have been a bit populist in my blatant ‘throw them out’ rethoric. It does feel a bit hopeless sometimes though. I am so glad Poland got out of the PIS stranglehold, though. It’s hard to see former Eastern bloc states somehow succumbing to Russian interference.

    The slowness of action is both Europes greatest asset as its fundemental weakness. It’s relatively shielded from short lived populism, but it can’t really react well to when the democracy rots through.

    But thanks for this interaction and for justly calling for more nuance. It’s not a great time with old creull autocrats seizing the reigns all over.
