    If only there were a country with twice the total landmass of the EU, rich in all types of resources, that is ideologically extremely close to the EU and has just been spurned by the US and is actively looking to realign itself with more reliable allies. Can you think of anyone?’

    Canada is as much of a vassal of the US as the EU, and it’s highly unlikely that it would be allowed to spurn the US in this way.

    This is not a bad thing in the short term. China is not an ideological ally but they are at least rational and not raving lunatics like the US.

    China is indeed a much better partner than the US, but in the long run Europe needs to figure out how to become self sufficient if it ever wants to be genuinely sovereign. This means figuring out how to produce cheap energy domestically and creating essential industries that can produce things people need. So far, it’s not the direction things are moving in.
