The EU Loan Deal: IS a crisis, NOT a victory
The headlines say "EU agrees on €90B for Ukraine," but the reality behind the scenes is a geopolitical disaster. Here is why the shift from a Reparations Loan (using frozen russian assets) to Joint Borrowing (EU taxpayer debt) is a massive blow:

Life despite the impossibility of life.
