@Kapitan i think your naval reports are better researched, but i already wrote i am not interested in writing my mind or correct others any more about politcal views, even or especially when i think they are wrong.
But since i already wrote this an hour ago.. you base your opinion on driving a truck through Europe, sorry but this does not hold water. There may be a lot of problems from fuel prices to unfair conditions, but then just wait how this will develop from now on. You can blame it all on the EU, this is of course the easiest thing to do, and from the molehill outlook it may even make some local sense. But i think you can blame certain bloody companies and greed, not the EU - the latter provides some framework but not all, it does not dictate fuel prices, also those special energy taxes are added by the nation's governments.
I only need to look at the 20ieth century and the lies that are official "truth" now; if certain people think that concocting facts, conspiracy theories, believing in royal supremacy or Quanon or whatever will help them on their way to their special success, be it to rule the world, destroy it, or thinking they are doing something positive by being aggrressive, no one can hold them back. No post here will change anything.
@Mapuc Europol is not a bad thing, and its data bases are of course also used by the UK (treaty from february 2021) even after leaving the EU. The new proposal that has been rejected by Denmark is about privacy protection in the digital age of encryption and anonymity to fight terrorism, and this is what a politically left majority in Denmark rejected for whatever reason.
IMhumblestO Denmark was quite dumb to reject the Europol idea, after all Europol is like Interpol not a bad thing, Denmark only rejected the new idea about privacy and defending anonymity in the new environment of social media while still trying to fight terrorism across borders – and it looks like fighting terrorism across borders was the reason for the politically left danish majority to reject it. Was that necessary, or good? Doesn't matter, their decision, alright.
But then suddenly Denmark still wanted to take part in it without being a member, even thought about a referndum to reverse the decision to get out of Europol.
But "European Commission Vice President Frans Timmermanns has advised Danes to forget a cross-border policing deal after quitting the European police agency, Europol.
“I’m afraid not,” he told Danish broadcaster TV2. “You can't be slightly pregnant, you're either pregnant or you're not. If you vote to be out of Europol, you're out of Europol. I don't see on the basis of the legal situation any alternative for that.” Last December, Danes voted in a referendum to reject a government proposal."
Some new treaties from this year see to correct it, but it's of course not worth a line in the sensational yellow press.
