I've given up all hope that European leaders and business people know anything about literally anything. They keep getting shot in the dick by our atlanticist leaders and seemingly just roll over and take it. Like, how did Volkswagen not put up any resistance to the EU tariffing chinese EVs, which they correctly called in the financial press as a stupid move that would lead to the EU automakers also getting tariffed. Everybody in the industry could see it coming a mile away and it just didn't matter. EU leaders are just addicted to shooting their own industrialists in the dick.
