We now know the US can’t be trusted. Trump will stab everyone in the back. He betrayed his country for Russia, he’ll betray his allies.

The USA is gone, this is something else now. The United states of Europe is the future.

How could anybody trust the US if they make a foreign policy U-turn every four years?

Germany is 0-2 against the US so go ahead, review those ties.

I think many people really don’t understand the true scale of this.
Remember, this is Germany that we are talking about, the same Germany that still has tens of thousands of US soldiers stationed on its soil, that was one of the very closest US allies of all after WW2.
The so called “Westbindung” (integration with the West) was one of the main pillars of German post-war foreign policy, as crucial as European integration was (and is).
So when Germany is talking about a “Epochenwechsel” (epochal change) in the transatlantic relationship, when leading German politicians publicly say that Europe needs to be independent from the US, it is a very, very big deal.
The only other European country that can be compared in this regard is the UK, but the politicians there are way more ambiguous with their words (and deeds).

Germany will go back to Russian oil that first chance it gets.

America is simply Europe’s adversary at best, enemy at worst. This isn’t a singular event. No matter who the next president is, IF there is a next president, the US is to be regarded as an antagonist in all aspects.

The world: Americans, please do something about Trump.
Americans: Best we can do is thoughts and prayers.

The next 10 years will be tricky at best, but I think this is the best opportunity Europe has to take the mantle and become the biggest international super power that most of the world will follow.
Defense spending is but one prong of this, but it’s the most important. A strong defense industry in Europe will provide a very attractive alternative to anyone considering any US defense systems or weapons, especially in light of how the US is now willing to politicize access or possibly even the ability to operate systems it sells to other countries.
Energy is the second prong. It will need huge investments not only in renewables, but also in nuclear energy, both to guarantee cheap energy but also provide the raw materials for a European nuclear deterrent to replace the US one. Put the ideology about nuclear aside, Europe needs this to guarantee it’s security.
The third prong where Europe really needs to gain strategic autonomy is technology and end the reliance on US big tech. Both software and advanced chip design and silicon manufacturing. This will also provide an attractive alternative to the rest of the world, and greatly change the balance of power across the Atlantic.
Those three will need a lot of investment, but the windfall will also be huge for European economies in jobs, improved productivity, and soft-power with the rest of the world.

If anyone still thinks that US is an ally… just look at what they are doing to Canada….. they want to annex Canada… the only country in the world that always followed them… (and a size and economy that dwarves most European countries)

Trump is destroying America… America is a bubble and sadly most people don’t realize the gravity of what’s going on, and it’s only been 2 months! When the recession hits hard people will start to wake up, but it may be too late.

Trump does not give a shit. He doesn’t want to defend Europe from Russia. So lets quit acting like this is bad news for him, this is exactly what he wants.
