Don't see how this is even slightly controversial. The entire point of the EU is to be a trading bloc. There is a lot of brainworms in the thread, but the premise is just table stakes.
America can literally turn off oil and gas supply to the EU today, just for a few months, and their economies as “first world countries” would be over.
It’s hilarious that the Euros still haven’t grasped the predicament they’re in. Europe should start coming to terms with the fact that it is objectively a better option for them to start petition to become the 51st state of the US (hopefully before Canada does and gets the glory) so they’d at least have some political rights and even citizenship, or risk a mass emigration as economic prospects deteriorate and the US ends up absorbing their highly educated labor force. The US can have a little industrialization as a treat with the immigrant labor then.
By the way, this was literally what Europe did to the post-Soviet states in the 1990s. What goes around comes around I guess.
because they also want to keep sanctioning russia and china too, while they have no industry and no resources. how do they want to achieve autarky? cos that's what this sounds like.
dude we got so many people named something like Jean-Wilhelm Prszkorky-och-Hapsburg. They're all fucking great at Excel. Obviously it is upon on us to administrate the worlds dealings.
