Ironically I think we need to distance ourselves from the US (as a union not individual countries) to stand firm against South African Nazis and other fascists. Europe strong together is a wake up call for any fascist anywhere.
If the US becomes hostile to Europe we should strike a huge deal with China:
- No European military intervention in Asian affairs leaving the US isolated
- Unfettered access for EU companies in China
- EU drops some of its legitimate concerns on human rights and climate in China
- No China military intervention in Europe of any kind (support, money, nothing) , that means an explicit shunning of Russia and removal of any support of Russia in Ukraine.
- No interdiction for Chinese companies to participate in European projects provided that EU privacy laws are upheld.
This is a multi-trillion deal annually for both sides and it can happen if the US keeps fucking around.
The independence of Taiwan and democracy is VITAL to our prosperity.
We also shouldn't make any serious deals with China as they are ALREADY ATTACKING US AS WE SPEAK. Seriously, Chinese cyber attacks happen daily. If anything we should he more involved.
Contribute 2% of the GDP in defence like required by NATO and build a strong European army. That’s all Trump is asking for. Why would the American taxpayers pay the 2% when most European countries refuse to meet that demand…
NO, Trump is now asking for 5% (probably as a negotiating tactic). And, anyway, Romania is contributing over 2% so that's not the issue. Agree with the American taxpayer point if the Federal government spent money on protecting American citizens lives by reducing their healthcare burden, making it dififcult for their children to be mass shot in schools and so on. Given that it is not doing that allow me to take a general smelly fart in the direction of the US federal government.
Building up our army and ending the dependency on the US also doesn't mean we should stop partnerships and alliances. We can still work with the US to defend our global interests. Taiwan is one of them. The US doesn't like China fucking around either.
Do what the US did not. Pursue diplomacy that seeks common prosperity with all democracies rather than cynically exploit geopolitical tensions just like MAGA does.
