Ah yes, more (implied) calls for austerity and deregulation.
Every crisis is an opportunity. :)
the US will cannibalize Europe, it is easy to see why the US would do that, but why does Europe play along? unless they never thought another Republican would win? yet that still misses that all of this is happening now with the Democrats in charge.
the compradors hope the US will look after them specifically even if it’s bad for the average european . up till now, it has been and they can get rich in the US and in Europe. capital moves across borders . It’s more like the anglo european empire than the american empire but its imperial seat is in the US.
Europe plays along because its entire mainstream political and media apparatus is owned by the Americans. There is not a single person who is not either bought/compromised (Scholz), a brainwashed idiot (Baerbock, Habeck), or just a straight up psychopath (von der Leyen, Strack-Zimmermann). I cannot emphasize enough how much i hate all of these people.
It’s already happening. The whole inflation reduction act resulted in a bunch of European industry migrating to the US.
