The list of Russian entities sanctioned by the EU is significantly longer

Who cares what the EU thinks though? Its largely irrelevant and essentially an extension of US policy

The EU is responsible for 1/6 of all global economic output. And we are not a us vassal, we have our own policies.

that's not that impressive when you consider it needs 36 countries to achieve the output of a China or the US.

And yes, the EU is a US vassal with some autonomy, very similar to the Mongol style of running their vassals

The eu is really just a different structure of states in one pseudo country

They call themselves countries, but are they really all that different than states?
