    Yes.

    But first we need to deal with the traitors Orban and Fico.

    Then we need to establish our own defence capabilities and reduce the dependencies on US companies for digital capabilities. (Get rid of Windows and US companies in the entire public sector.) Buy European, this will also Support our Economy.

    Thirdly we should integrate closer with other countries also fucked over by Trump, like Canada

    EDIT: Fourth - High Tariffs for all countries which don’t adhere roughly to our environmental and social Standards. To avoid a Race to the bottom with globalisation. Free Trade with everyone else

      I’d say the second step is to once and for all deal with the Russian thread. If Russia dies (metaphorically), the populists in the EU die with it.

        They have Nukes. How do you want to “Deal with them once and for all” ?

        Economic Sanctions? We are already doing it Direct Attack on their own territory (not Ukraine)? Seems Like a stupid Idea

        Supporting Independence Movements through our Secret Services? Could Work, but you have to be careful, that No nutjobs in the newer smaller States end Up with the Nukes. I mean that’s what He is doing, but explicitly supporting the Nutjobs

        Doing a Hitjob on Putler? Same Risks AS the last point

      Remember, too, that Canada has a sea border with France and a land border with Denmark. We’re basically the Netherlands. Let’s all be friends!

        I don’t know if you wanna do that. PP is probably going to start eating Canada within the next election cycle, in October. Though the status of France (National Rally), Germany (AfD), Italy, Hungary, and the UK (Nigel Farage is up to shit) worries me a lot. Short term (20 years), I think we are going to see many of our friends and allies regressing until we either slowly beat them back, or have a giant world war.

        We should all support each other, but also be clear-eyed that times of plenty and peace might be temporarily behind us because so many people are bored.

      Yea, that would be great. Instead it is becoming a central European triangle of annoyance with the addition of Kickl.

        Please take us with you.

        We can start small; let us into Eurovision. You let Austrailia in - well, they’re basically antipodous to us, so give Canada a go too.

        After that, let’s add some more spice. Maybe some trade agreements, or study-abroad programmes for exchange students. Then we can really turn up the heat, if you catch my drift.
