> Europe was quite passive and had no real ability or motivation to throw their weight around globally. They were happy to let the US do that. But this is going to change now, the EU will have the ability to force it's will on other nations and that is often not going to be in the interests of the USA. They are creating a fourth super power.
I do think the US want to prevent it, and they have plans in motion already.
This would need a European unity, but there are always interests and fears to be exploited. Hungary is a useful tool to Washington, going against a centralized Europe. Possible other states can include Poland: sure in the question of Ukraine they go along with the Germans, but one thing that Poland fears as much as a Russian threat is a German threat. There is a reason why they are so pro-US. It's fine as long as Germany is nice and pacifist, but them turning hawkish will wake up suspicions. I'm sure all the countries have something to get turned against the common cause.

What I think whatever happens, it'll suck here on the Hungary, we are in a too precarious position with energy dependence. If prices hike Westerners still will be able to pay the bills, but here we have this utility bill subsidy, the whole country hooked on that, if it has to go, many will lose everything, like pulling the carpet from under us.
