...No discussion of Western hypocrisy is complete without Ursula von der Leyen, the unelected queen of the European Commission and an unequivocal master of the genre. There is a video, widely circulated at this point, of von der Leyen being heckled by a member of the public. The man asks a difficult question. She responds with a smile and a line that was clearly rehearsed: ‘If this was in Russia, he would be arrested.’ The crowd laughed. The man was arrested.

    I was about to post the same comment. It’s wild to me that so many see it as one or the other is bad. Both have massive problems and frankly I don’t want anything to do with either of them.
