      I dont think so. The calls for a unified europe with france, england and germany at its core suggest the next time it will be a unified effort at eradicating humanness from humanity.

    Not only will this not happen, it will be used to push for austerity and lower the living standards for years to come.

    This is simply the next stage in the US plan to destroy its European rival, exactly what Trump had wanted when he asked NATO countries to increase defense spending, but it was Biden who actually got it done.

    The eurozone truly turned out to be the EU’s biggest weakness and the US is now fully exploiting this weakness to crush the European economy. This is why I don’t buy it when people say the US is incompetent - every step appears so well thought out that I don’t believe for a second all this is happening out of pure luck that just happens to favor the position of the US imperialists.

      I don’t think that the U.S. is incompetent when it comes to dealing with European countries because they own, and have owned, the major media apparatuses of those countries since WWII. It is the same with Japan and South Korea. The further away from those places you get though, the more tenuous the tendrils are. Sometimes things work out, but many times they do not and they have to make the best of the blowback they caused, but the blowback was not intentional. The U.S. is certainly in a position to make the most of bad decisions, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t making them.

    So when are they gonna start selling off their public assets in order to fund purchases of F35s, ospreys and littoral combat ships from their good ally across the pond? Not sure they can manufacture their own shit given the whole energy cost and deindustrialization thing going on right now
