Didn’t they do this during the first trump presidency? They’ll flip as soon as a Dem gets in office and “Democracy is saved.”
they’re not very smart
Pathetic. Go down with the ship you fuckin racists
$5 says that this is a ploy to get trump to soften his trade ware rhetoric with the eu; once (and if) democrats retake control, they’ll switch back since sinophobia is virtue in the west.
The question is whether the EU can actually survive the next four years. My bet would be that there’s not a chance in hell of Trump softening his policy because he viscerally hates EU on a personal level. These people openly made an enemy out of him, and he’s a very petty man.
france and germany have a better chance at keeping their fascists out of their government than the united states; if they manage to keep that firewall up and keep importing russian energy through back doors, i can see them surviving.
The situation isn’t that dire yet IMO, it’s not amazing but things aren’t falling apart yet. I think the libs know on some level they won’t survive unless they keep the treats flowing, which inevitably means easing up on the policy against China and probably even Russia to a degree.
Seems like both France and Germany are taking a hard right actually, with RN and AfD being the most popular parties respectively. They do both want to restore relations with Russia however, and that would be a path for France and Germany to survive. However, I expect that the EU centre is going to collapse, and without either France or Germany the EU is as good as dead anyways.
the RN and the AfD were the fascists i was alluding to and i’m drawing hope from episodes like the french left & liberal voters unifying against the RN to win their last election and the german conservatives & protesters alike rejecting their leadership’s intriguing with the AfD.
Didn’t the French liberals immediately stab the left in the back and side with the right?
The french liberals (in this case you are probably refering to Macron) didn`t really stab the left in the back since they never really side with them in the first place.
Macron knew the left coalition supposed victory was irrelevant and it can`t survive facing political impass
macron did and he’s a centrist.
Are centrists not liberal?
Thanks to trump, the US will cease to be the reserve currency in 10 years of less. China will LOVE to control the world’s reserve currency.
Highly unlikely that China would have any desire for the yuan to become a reserve currency since they want to be able to control its value on the global market. What’s far more likely is that we’ll see a BRICS backed currency along the lines of Bancor that Keynes advocated for emerge.
