At this point I'm honestly thinking the EU should just stop negotiating with them and let them go. We don't want barbarians that torture political prisoners, let them be friends with Russia and China instead.

Sweden was complicit in trying to get Assange into custody and many other EU countries such as Germany have participated in the CIA's Extraordinary rendition program[0]. Don't think EU members are saints.

The EU has much bigger problems of its own than those seen in the UK. E.g. see Poland.

It looks like that is happening anyway. Boris wanted to change the signed brexit deal and the EU said no.

The EU didn't have to say no; the deal was signed, a contract was in place, and if they now break said contract they're in deep legal shit.
