          Europeans People Party, large political party within the EU which is largely full of conservative right-wing folks with the german Ursula Gertrud von der Leyen at it’s top. She is also currently president of the European Commission and has been known to be involved in corruption and to favour company interests, as well as the rest of the fuckers in the EPP.

          So I guess the context is: If EPP stays in power, that’s good for top-business-people, but bad for everyone else. Thereby detrimental for such competitive-practise-laws.

              First the EPP is center-right, not conservative right-wing.

              As far as I can see it, they are conservative-right wing. It’s even clear from the first sentence of the Wikipedia article you posted further down:

              with Christian-democratic,[4] liberal-conservative,[4] and conservative[5][6] member parties

              Second there’s too much leftists’ bullshit already in EU member states

              You mean like those competiveness laws discussed in this post?

              that only benefits the USA

              Sounds like a conspiracy myth to me. Feel free to elaborate.

              Are they soc-dems?

        Russia (and Putin) are so weak the USA forced them to invade their neighbour?

        Cope.

            Politically sure, but economically the USA is hurt by this war. You may as well make the case that it’s in China’s interest, or Indias.

            But that wouldn’t align with Kremlin disinformation that you’re spreading. Wilfully or not.

        The US promptly forgot that Ukraine existed once they gave Russia their nukes back, and didn’t bother to think about them again until Russia invaded. The major exception being Hunter Biden, and he has never been in politics so he doesn’t count.
