Majorities in Italy, Greece and Bulgaria opposed this to the extent that they thought it was a bad idea to increase the supply of weapons to Ukraine.
Seemed like an odd bit to leave out when you selectively chose your sentences to put in bold.
Unless they’re the “wrong type” of Europeans.
The political consensus fragments as alternate minority positions in more places rise of course, and there’s more nuance within those majority positions - as Pierre correctly notes above to strengthen the negotiating hand is significantly different from a return to either 2022 or 2014 borders.
If I meant to say “a majority of people in the majority of countries” I’d have said that - I don’t believe that so I didn’t say it.
