As a European, I think the EU needs to wake up and become more willing to act geopolitically. It needs to take charge, and have a structure which allows it to make strong authoritative decisions, that will enable EU’s future as the third superpower nestled between Russia and the US. We need a single strong leader to do it, someone who can really challenge Putin and Trump, isn’t afraid to yell, to be threatening, and dominate. Our leader should be similar: A kind of people’s man, a man who can bring our culture back to its former glory, maybe from a small nation like Austria who actually can sway public opinion through strong speeches.
I can see the exact person vividly in my mind. As I concentrate on his image, I think I can even make out what kind of beard he has. Certainly, Trump and Putin would respect such a man.
When I arrived at the man from a small nation like Austria, I realised you were sarcastic. Well done.
Yeah, I know it didn’t really bring a whole lot to the discussion. I guess I’m just frustrated with politics in general. I do still stand by my point about Putin and Trump liking such a guy though.
I posted it to make people aware of the European dimension to this decision, which is sofar not mentioned by policy makers or media. Perhaps someone reads it and will take it up in a discourse outside Lemmy.
