-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Wonder if this will turn the EU away from the US or the exact opposite. I would think the exact opposite
I'd argue that the liberal world order is having its Sino-Soviet moment. If Trump actually does this, the EU will have little choice but to increase trade with China to keep their economy afloat. The trans-Atlantic rift is widening by the day, and Europe does not have many options left.
The difference is that europe is ruled by a bunch of compradors, publicly they will condemn US but behind closed doors they will fold and their foreign policy won't stray 1cm away from washington line
The problem there is the growing political unrest across Europe, as the material conditions continue to decline it's becoming harder for them to keep a lid on things. A huge cost of living increase will have major political consequences.
Yeah but looking at them, they would prefer to lose to an open fascists than to move a single inch from their political line. Those consequences would not hurt them personally, even in worst case they will just cash in their comprador money and move somewhere. It's modus operandi repeated many times before.
That's what I expect will happen, open fascism is the most likely path for Europe at this point.
The trans-Atlantic relationship had the unfortunate coincidence of having the word trans in it, so the new US regime had no choice but to consider it woke.
God I hope he does it, but the problem is he flip-flops every fucking week.
Please china, come build high speed rail in Europe, I'm begging
Please China send Chengdu J-36 to Brussels. The people of this continent yearn for freedom
Build highspeed rail to Europe
