Yes, the responses to the Iran raid have been bad from the EU. That doesn’t mean that we should stop working to be independent from the USA. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. Again, 90% independence is better than 0%. We should always strive for more. And even if we were “just” 90% independent, we could have condemned them the way it should have been done and sanctioned them.
I don’t share your assumption that we work on indepensence. The population wants independence but the actions of the politicians suggest that they don’t work on it. I expect that we will remain dependent because we don’t control our politicians.
We do control our politicians, and that’s the benefit of democracy. If we don’t like our leaders, exchange them. That is a valuable right that has been fought for for thousands of years. It’s important to use that.
