The EU is gonna pay to avoid the same tariffs over and over… that’s what you get when you negotiate with terrorists.
So when we will finally start calling out and opposing US fascism?
An overly dramatic title and a paywall.
Et tu, Le Monde?
The EU should stop dealing with Krasnov. The asswipes don’t want to pay their fair share, then proceed to tariff the shit out of their digital services.
It would be devastating if the two biggest democratic economic blocks would engage in a trade war. I think it is best to strategically accept the conditions. After all, it is important to uphold the European values of freedom and equality and human rights. I am proud of what the EU has achieved and is going to achieve while moving forward in a constructive way. We need more conscious decisions.
And the next time?
Have you never had to deal with a bully before?
The USA are Europe’s most trusted partner. Our joined history gives us the confidence to deepen our commitment to this mutually advantageous relationship. By accepting the US’s leadership towards enabling a vision for digital enrichment and prosperity we deepen our commitment to preserving the environment to create a better and more sustainable future for our children. The continuity of the joined progression serves the European population as their guiding council in our rapidly changing global world.
The Canadians feel the same way
What I cannot decide is if Europe has painted itself into a corner by bad decisions or if this is a good cop bad cop situation.
In both cases it’s wild that we look down on Trump for almost 10 years but we still go along.
Your analysis isn’t great.
Intertwined economies made sense for many reasons, when we all thought that we could work together. Now the world has changed, and many nations want to work against each other.
Europe’s good actors are likely trying decide how long they need to build relations that are not so sensitive to these kinds of disruptions, and trying to decide how much they need to put up with until then. Europe’s bad actors are trying to figure out how to leverage tensions for more domestic power.
Why accept the bullying though? Are there enough good actors that have an influence?
