Was the EU created to screw the US?

I don't use childish slang to discuss serious matters, but although no great supporter of the EU, do not see it having been created to damage either the US nor "Europe" (i.e. the two dozen or so different countries that occupty the continent of Europe).

Nor to harm anyone else, come to that, not deliberately anyway, if only because that would be self-defeating.

I do though think it protectionist, over-bureaucratic, over-central and over-expensive.

I see it as a basically good idea gone badly wrong..

Spain mostly developed because of the EU though. You can make an argument for other countries perhaps that were already advanced, but Spain benefited a lot.

The original EEC was created by the CIA. The idea was to prevent another French / German war. At some point (particularly around the Lisbon Treaty) the direction went to building a rival to the US and arrogance and ineptitude took over. Currently very detrimental to people within the EU....

Use complete words please

I don't think either was the intention, but screwing Europe has definitely been the consequence.

It was to serve what they saw as their best interest which could also have been against the US's best interest.

The EU was created for a bunch of wannabe overlords to browbeat peasants

Its sad how the average person in europe has no rights despite what they are gaslight with.

No, you believe many silly things though. Try not to lose sleep over it.

Now it's screwing itself
