And yes, the #Trump #Regime is dellusional thinking the #USA is irreplaceable when in fact it most certainly is!

• Noone in the #EU wants their gas-guzzling, oversized #SuperUselessVehicles and wannabe-#Trucks because they completely go against any #regulations and #norms in #Europe, being overweight, inefficient, polluting and not even legally #trucks to begin with!

#Manufacturers like "P.R." #China, #Vietnam, #Japan, #India et. al. are quick to #pivot to other #markets like the #EU and the #GlobalSouth.

• Just like penalizing #tariffs and #taxes in #Brazil didn't really get them much #industrialization and instead merely made certain items and products just unaffordably expensive to import and buy.

The matter of the fact is that this ain't 1945: the #US needs the #world more than vice-versa, espechally since the world moves on and both #EU and #NATO will continue to exist, thrive and expand even without the USA!

• In fact, #SouthKorea and #Japan are already #cooperating re: #defense with the EU and most nations bordering "P.R. #China" start to work on contingencies not only re: #Taiwan, but also #Beijing's aggression and #Pyongyang|s continued violations as well as #Russia|n activity...

#EUpol #USpol

And no, #Trump|s #regime will #speedrun the #dedollarization of #WorldTrade in favour of the #Euro, because noone wants to deal with a regime that essentially devalued the #USD by 5,6% in the last 3 months, 2,4% in the last month alone compared to the #EUR!

It'll make the #USA more irrelevant and hopefully that'll be the end of it, with it ceasing to exist and it's remains being absorbed by #Mexico and #Canada along the former #SlaveryBelt!

• Let's hope that'll end as peacefully as it can be, but I'd rather expect #USpol to crack the whip harder, do #Slavery 2.0 with #ForProfitPrisons and introducing #Neofeudalism amidst their new #ConcentrationCamps!

Hopefully people will not require 8,5 years to grow a spine to get rid of #AgentKrasnov in time!

#EUpol #sarcasm #REFORUSA

As with the #Trump-#Regime, everything is transactional and thus noone in their right mind would turn themselves into a #PuppetState and sign off #UnfairTrade with the #USA.

• This just doesn't work in the post-#ColdWar world anymore cuz whilst #Russia ain't the #USSR, the "P.R." #China, #India and #Brazil (aka. #BRICS if we add in #SouthAfrica) are in a way better position and the #EU is more than mere "#MarshallPlan beneficiaries" by comparison.

At least #USpol and the #401k's collapsing are a good reason to firmly showcase why basing #RetirementFunds off #Stocks is a horrible idea to begin with!

#USpol #EUpol #TradeWars #Tariffs

We'd rather see the #EU become it's own #NuclearPower and yeeting the #USA in favour of #Ukraine & #Mexico joining than any of it's members becoming #VassalStates paying #Tribute to the #US!

• Espechally since the #NATO and it's #SecurityArhitecture was made up by the US and once led by it (can't wait for the #SACEUR to be elected instead of being appointed by the #USA!)

All #Trump does is make the USA weaker, #USpol look more unpredictable and destroy 70+ years of relationships.

• So even if #AOC would get elected as next #POTUS (I doubt that Trump will even allow any elections anymore!) not even two terms would be enough to broom aside the glass shards Trump left throwing hand grenades inside a glass -walled greenhouse [german proverb]...

I mean, what else do we expect from #AgentKrasnov?

• #REFORUSA NOW!

@riley yeah...

I guess #TheEconomist has still too much revenue to pay for sponsorships...

• Classic #Bothsideism aka. #FalseBalancing cuz #centrists are that shit!

#USpol #Media #MassMedia #Disinformation

@riley I agree.

• The sheer fact that #Trump's #Tariffs are being analyzed as something to be rationalized is beyond me.

The fact that #Israel of all places who literally unilaterally declared 0% tariffs got no better deal than anyone else shows that one cannot negotiate with the Trumpist #Regime.

• The @EUCommission led by #Zensursula even offered equal tariffs, but that's gonna get declined as well.

TBH, it's high time the @europarl_en enacts a #PrizeFreeze on #US-owned & controlled #products & #services (similar to the #OilPriceCap against #Russia) and enacts a 400% #tariff on #CCSS (#commercial closed-source #software) and 500% on #services (incl. #payments, #hostng, #cloud, #SaaS and #tech) as well as introduce a 250% #CapitalExportTax to the #USA or US-controlled subsidiaries to combat #TaxAvoidance and #TaxMitigations like #DoubleDurch (#CVBV) and "#licensing" loopholes to bleed EU-based subsidiaries dry of taxable #profits!

• And don't forget everything else to have #TariffEqulibrium!

Also it's high time #Galileo gets upgraded from a #SBAS to a real #GNSS that isn't designed weaker than #GPS, but better!

@kkarhan Well, analysis as such is not necessarily a problem. But starting from the premise that "It must be part of a cunning plan!" and then present the findings as "I proved that it is a part of a cunning plan!" is the sort of thing that people normally do to prop themselves up to dictators. Ironically, some of them, such as Stalin, have clearly worked hard to keep people trying to figure out their "cunning plans" guessing.
