Col. Jacques Baud: Why the EU Is Failing on Every Front


Listen Later

EU sanctions freeze an analyst's accounts in Brussels—no court trial, no due process—leaving him unable to buy food or travel. He critiques the EU's erosion of rule of law, where political decisions bypass legal safeguards, setting dangerous precedents for citizens' rights.

The EU's foreign policy is in disarray: no unified strategy among 27 members with divergent interests, over-fixation on weakening Russia while neglecting Ukraine's future, and failure as a mediator in Palestine, Iran, and Syria. Rather than independent diplomacy, Brussels acts as a US vassal—silent on humanitarian crises, unable to counter American moves in Greenland or Venezuela.

With leadership focused solely on sustaining the Ukraine conflict to keep Washington engaged, Europe lacks coherent objectives, strategy, or credibility on the global stage—revealing a structural crisis at the heart of the Union.
