    I find it entertaining to think that corrupt politicians would be bound to the US.

    They are not bound to the US. Even Azerbaijan could buy politicians.

    The European Commission is way less powerful in the EU context than any national government in the national context.

    In which way? They have regulations for some areas and they suggest regulations for the parliament to comment and approve.

    cannot do much without the support from other players.

    Regulations are binding for all members. To me that seems to be powerful.
