“There are 30 ‘non-cooperative’ countries, including tiny Niue in Polynesia, a country of just 1,600 people living at a subsistence level. That the EU sees this country as a threat borders on the ridiculous and shows that their motives are about control and not an honest warning that a country is abetting terrorists. It seems increasingly clear that the EU took the shotgun approach here: anybody not in the US/EU club is characterized as ‘non-cooperative.’ Until now, the targeted countries have been tolerating this economic bullying, but this latest attack has provoked some pushback.”
