For any researcher of geostrategy, it is clear that European Union is a hegemon in the making. The pattern is strikingly familiar. The EU is a liberal internationalist and interventionist force, governed by a small ideological elite, and it throws its weight around. The most disastrous example of these impulses ravaged the entire North African coastline and turned Libya into a slave trade hub. It is also expansionist, having accumulated the entire real estate of central and eastern Europe right up to the Russian border by either economic or military means. It has imposed tariffs on China, punished US companies, reprimanded India and Australia on human rights, is on a confrontation course with United Kingdom, and has openly pondered its own military force. Whatever one thinks of the EU and its liberal hegemonic ideology, these are the facts.

The UK itself has dine or continues to do all these things under different circumstances and scenarios and with the UK now governed by a small ideological elite then we should be falling over each other to leave this hegemonic land.

A lot to unpack there SatNav!

In regard to economic sanctions all countries impose them as part of foreign policy. The EU just has a bit more clout/influence, and when entities are found to have broken the rule of law or been guilty of human rights abuse, it can act accordingly within it's treaties.

1 often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.

As it’s not that I WANTED to remain but more that I didn’t want the aftermath/uncertainty of leaving.

Obviously the two are linked but one implies that I like being part of the EU which I don’t particularly but I didn’t want the inevitable mess that came with Brexit, including but not limited to, the fking word BREXIT

Gotta love the UK media. If the EU agrees something to ease trade barriers it's deemed to be a "surrender" and when it doesn't its inherently "intransigent."

Waiving some SPS checks will still not be enough for the hardline Unionists here as they want the NIP completed scrapped.
