Welcome to YUROP
The Ultimate Eurozone of Culture, Chaos, and Continental Excellence
A glorious gathering place to celebrate (and lovingly roast) the lands, peoples, quirks, and contradictions of Her Most Magnificent Europa. From the fjords to the Med, the steppes to the Atlantic spray, this is a shrine to everything that makes Europe gloriously weird, wonderfully diverse, and occasionally passive-aggressive in 24 languages.
Here we toast:
πͺπΊ The progressive Union of Peace (and paperwork)
π§ The freest of health care
π· The finest of foods
π³οΈβπ The liberalest of liberties
π The proud non-members and honorary cousins
πΆ And the eternal dance of unity, confusion, and cultural banter.
Post memes, news, satire, linguistic wars, train maps, cursed food photos, Eurovision fever, propaganda and whatever makes you scream βonly in YUROP.β
Leave your stereotypes at the border control and enjoy the ride.

and also buying other countries infrastructure (ports, sewers, etc) and supplying backdoored communication infrastructure
developing the global south is a win in my book, but backdoors are obviously bad, though it seems less of a downside than what the west provides
they aren't just doing that in the global south tho. they do it in EU too, for example
What am I meant to say? They shouldn't have bought Chinese or privatised their infrastructure if it was that big of a deal
Besides, the only solution is local alternatives, USA does the same as China
you're not meant to say anything specific. this is how freedom works.
you're right, they shouldn't have, but corruption is unfortunately a thing and now what you wrote feels a bit like victim blaming π
The victim is the government and they usually have a board to talk things through, it would be different if it was an individual decision
