it’s strange to think that macron, starmer, von der leyen are intentionally sabotaging their own economies for the good of the us empire.
They have no choice, the whole neoliberal project is premised on Europe being a vassal of the US. Once the US goes away, the entire system that props them up will collapse.
yeah, hearing them say that they’re doing it because their elections are 3+ years away makes it feels like they’re copying the democrat’s playbook when they capitulated to the republicans on the shut down; each of the democrats that signed off on it was invulnerable to election repercussions in the same way.
Right, their whole strategy is to try and wait Trump out and hope that things go back to the way they were. They don’t understand that the underlying calculus has changed and that Europe is no longer relevant for the US the way it used to be.
