  • Ah, so, Serbia’s simultaneously a close ally of Russia and China, seeking to undermine democracies, and also an aspiring future EU-member, that France has a parade with. Truly the duality of man. And because they buy Chinese hardware you can tell how they’re a close Chinese ally , and because they buy Russian hardware a close Russian ally, and since they also bought French hardware… Really, looks like the only country they’re not-no, wait, here it is.

    Repeating your assertions won’t make them true, nor will it make SNS less of an associate member of the EPP. This “dear Alexander” shit didn’t start with Uschi, nor is it just Europe doing it. China and Russia are not Serbia’s allies - but they do find it useful to have a backdoor into the EU. Likewise, the EU does not expect Serbia to actually join the EU - but then again, an EU member couldn’t house German migrants or French nuclear waste. And the yanks… Of course, all this requires someone willing to play ball, which requires a level of… flexibility (last half a dozen or so paragraphs are particularly interesting). It’s the exact same short-termism that resulted in Putin, except the costs outweigh any potential benefits so lopsidedly you kinda have to wonder if maybe there’s people in the EC who would like their own little squad of titushki at home.
