Lol, Von Der leyen would not sanction the US if Trump stole her undergarments, the EU (sadly) won’t do shit. Maybe individual countries would wake up, but if they are like Spain, half the politicians live to lick republican boot.

Then Europe could use its immense cultural heritage, history in unionizing, strong labor laws and social security networks (that should become EU wide) to attract skilled people.

That won’t ever happen, the people running the EU are neolibs through and through and they’ve been dismantling all that for 30 years.
