[PurpleTree]

 

With Europe i basically mean EU+Norway, Switzerland, UK then dark horses Ukraine and Turkey

I would be shocked if this sort of dialouge came from a company Slack chat "as I heard it, the president was clear: green light", that means he was unclear, why else would he write this?

"If you think we should do it let's go", what a lack of responsibility.

The Democrats have created a war in Europe to make money at the expense of impoverishing Germany and selling weapons. The Republicans are now stopping the war the Democrats provoked and imposing tariffs on Europe and  demand rearmament from all countries, with American weapons obviously.

Who wants a partner like that? With friends like that, enemies aren't necessary. They remind me of the mobsters in movies who force you to hire their protection. To protect you from they

Good motivation to build up our own industries. A good shake-up to the EU status quo that has become over- bureaucratic.

“European freeloading.” Bros are so dumb. They don’t realize the amount of clout and dictation the USA gets over these countries by supporting them. Be prepared to be weaker and poorer when your country gets demoted from world leader to regional power.

Europe needs to focus on energy independence and AI capabilities. Hopefully the Ukraine conflict doesn't escalate to Poland or the baltic states, that would be a disaster that would require divine intervention.

Do another world war lol 

Third times a charm

They act like Europe is the little brother they are forced to play with.

American exceptionalism on display. The best line “I’m an American reporter and would like a answer to the British reporters question”

Europe needs to do what’s in its best interest and build itself up over time. The “hostile” US is going to relegate itself so nothing retaliatory needed. They are self owning themselves.

They talk about Europe freeloading but won’t ever mention Israel doing so lol retards

I think Europe should think 

what are the most important things for the US?

tech companies, Israel, being loud, being a hegemony, diabetes, fentanyl, Skittles and so on.

And then they should put pressure, tariffs or decouple from those things.

If the US wants closer ties to Russia. Europe could forge closer ties to China.

[Alex4]

The United States will pay in the long run for all this foolishness.

China and Russia would move in that region in a heartbeat, if the u.s. left.

Middle East.

I meant that's why the u.s. is there, to control the oil market.

Now if only dems could finally use some of this to fuel the opposition. Fill congress with hearings. Republicans did this with Hilary’s emails. They need to start a slackgate.
