That's the same Twitter account that gives "assessments" like these though:

Are we sure that's not just Woodbury's own twitter account? Sounds an awful lot like him.

There needs to be some weighting of the EU vote by economic size, and to get rid of unanimous consent. It is one thing for something to go down if Germany or France opposes it, another for Poland to do so, and ludicrous when you have a place as far down the economic food chain as Hungary nixing something. Next thing you know it will be Andorra.

Since Andorra is not even a EU member, them vetoing EU policy would indeed be a step too far.

Lukashenko is an awful leader, but in this case, I'm glad. Russia is already struggling enough in this war, having "allies" like Belarus that will just drag it down will hopefully end this war sooner rather than later. Then again, Belarus has always been just a puppet of Russia anyways, so maybe it doesn't make a difference.

It really gives me fascist Italy during WWII vibes. I wouldn't mind too much if Lukashenko ends up the same way Mussolini did...
