The EU really is becoming the superpower of the world. First consumer rights, now Russia... meanwhile the US is just slowly decaying due to infighting
You got it the wrong way around.
The EU is dying - our societies are in free-fall, wages through the floor compared to the US, tens of millions of refugees pouring in drive down labour rights and driving up housing costs, austerity-driven governments cutting police funding leading to much more street crime, high inflation and a lack of competitiveness due to the energy crisis, etc.
Despite the problems of capitalism you described, Europe might be the sanest collection of societies currently.
Hope places like South America & Canada, Africa could get their shit together and join Europe in a global union in some decades and topple the influence of the tyrannies causing harm to people
Of course the US, Russia, China et al pushed their polarization agendas in Europe as well and we share the same issues despite the progress of the union.
Here in South America we don't want to join you, you are the people who are oppressing us. We despise you.
What a condescending comment.
Towards tyrannies? Towards capitalism?
Isn't it the other way round? They are showing an attitude of patronizing superiority towards the people. They condescend you and I
Honestly a delusional move. Culturally, Reparations are paid by the loser. Even in Ukraines victory scenario where they kick Russia or of their territory, Russia will not be anywhere near desperate enough to admit defeat at a level to pay reparations. Russia would simply start retooling for another go. All this does is give Russian propaganda more fuel to justify their point of view, without helping anybody.
This is propaganda to keep the notion that Russia will be held responsible even though there is absolutely no way to guarantee they can make that happen, which in turn helps to maintain approval of policies like sanctions and so on, which is how the EU "makes them pay". If you are in favour of that kind of direction, I think it's a positive thing to do, since it favour your narrative
So it just means "We will not be paying for this." Since that is the only thing they can promisse.
Sounds like if you invest in the EU, there's a chance your assets could be seized by the government if the government decides to. This is a risk investors don't like.
That is true everywhere. United Stares did the same to Afganistan, Iran, Russia. Venezuela did that to United States. Russia also is doing that. And many more examples.
Good on them for trying.

The US invested in Afghanista and Iran?
So many bombs...
Cool if true.
Slava Ukraine <3 !!
