Comment on Marco Rubio orders US diplomats to launch lobbying blitz against Europe's tech law

EU is a union (it’s right in the name). It’s as strong or as weak as all of it’s members are combined. The people running it are selected by and follow orders of those members. Yes, some of the countries in EU are reasonable but EU as a whole is weak and/or naive.
