  • I’m talking about EU exports, and yes, you do need countries who buy your shit. Specially when the rest of the world doesn’t shop as much.

    I’m also not defending Trump. But I get why countries try to work with him: swapping a large business partner on the world map hurts everyone. Globalization made everyone depend on everything, and such a gigantic swap will destroy a lot of wealth all around.

    And people are not ready to go hungry.

    I would suggest abandoning capitalism as whole, which would solve a lot of problems right about now.

    The defense is a bit more tricky, and it needs time. But the meantime sucks.




  • Why would anyone sign a trade deal

    because of money, there’s no other explanation needed. No other country consumes as much as the US, and you need them to keep buying your exports.

    If that isn’t enough for you, the Europe relies Heavily on the US for its defense. Every country has a military base, only France (can’t remember who else) has nukes, so if you want to not be invaded, you kinda have to bend a knee.

    What is crazy is that it has been like this for decades, while Europe let itself be dominated by the special interests, and now it cannot unify against the hand that used to feed and protect it.

    And Russia has been arming like crazy, hoping to gobble anything it can.
