What's up with the knee-jerk hate on EU lately?

Not the EU, just the Commission.

The US is going to shit, and the Americans want to pretend everywhere is equally bad and it's not just them..

It is, of course, just them.

Thousands of people died in the EU over this heat, and you think it's American that isn't doing well?

"more than 1300 excess deaths have been recorded since 21 June linked to the extreme heat in Europe"

"There were approximately 489,000 heat-related deaths annually between 2000 and 2019, according to modeled estimates."

What? Did the EU cause the heat wave? This thread is clearly about politics, and the parent claims that Americans complain about the EU and its politics because their own have gone completely off the rails. Disparaging the EU over a crazy heat wave is like criticizing a country because it has had a major natural disaster recently.

		The EU caused the deaths, not the heat. People have been dying from heat in the EU for decades now, and the EU has done ........ nothing (well other than declare superiority to the US). More people die from heat each year in the EU than from guns in the US. Which topic gets more attention?
