Counter point: Fuck us maybe, but the crap is spreading. It’s also in your (other countries) interest to stop this. Or just treat us the the pariah we are and isolate the US and move on with out us.
We can't. Our EU leaders are sold out bastards.
As if it wasn't clear from Trump 1 where this was going.
They didn't take measures, on the contrary, they appeased him and ate shit.
Even worse than the economy being destroyed by sanctioning ourselves and tariffs our brilliant EU government decided it was a good idea to get healthy and wildly expensive fracking gas from the US.
No less than 70%+ of it comes from there, which makes us totally dependent and at the mercy of a whimsical lunatic.
So what exactly are they going to pressure him with then?
he equally complicit MSM has nothing to say about that. Same as they are blind to the cosequences of the sanctions.
They just say there's an economic crisis, no explanation, at best 'high gas prices'.
Never mind what and who caused it.
