European Commission wrote the following post Sat, 06 Aug 2022 13:01:00 +0200

Solidarity is essential if we want to fight the energy blackmail from Russia.

We have already been through testing times, and we know they require 🇪🇺 unity and solidarity.

Together we are so much stronger than the sum of 27 EU countries.

@Alexander Goeres Yup! They have their own instance, but I think it's still an experiment. It's only one-way communication, unfortunately: you get no reactions on a reply.

But it's a step in the right direction for sure!

Agree, on all of those point. We're on the same page there. But I don't think you can blame the EU for the lack of speed. National governments do just as litte, or even less. Just look at what the orang utang in America did.

There are plenty of things that should change in the EU, but defeatist sarcasm isn't going to change anything for the better. The point that @European Commission made, was that we need each other to get anywhere: 27 individual countries aren't nearly as powerful as one union of 27 countries. I can't imagine you disagree with that.

United we stand. Divided we fall.
