Yea that's fair / makes sense from a democracy point of view (even if I might disagree personally).

It's a bit odd that Europe prioritizes American big-business interests I guess? Idk, as an American it does seem kinda like an odd choice.

It's more useful to view the whole situation as EU politicians prioritizing to have their pockets filled with lobbyist money, rather than the EU as a political entity deciding this per se.

It's not completely fair. The US also bullies them into doing those things, it's not only "pure corruption to fill their pockets".

How many European countries buy American weapons because they are scared of what would happen if they pissed off the US? And then they still get tariffs and threats of military invasion.
