The irony of the whole Brexit fuck-up, lost on most Brits, is that the UK (officials like Lord Cockfield) played a leading role in shaping the EU, as summarised by @jacopobarigazzi.bsky.social www.politico.eu/article/brit...

Britain leaves its mark on Europe
The UK may be departing, but it leaves behind a bloc that has been shaped by a succession of British architects.

Many diplomats think that the European Parliament is not a serious institution, MEPs seem to love not missing chances to prove they are right, I saw pictures like that so many times that it’s just utterly depressing

I'm afraid that as long as Putin or a Putin-like leader is in charge, this is true. I don't rule out the possibility of change - one could have written the same about permanently warlike Germany before 1945 - but it may take similar cataclysmic change to persuade Russia that imperialism doesn't pay.
