Hmm, Can you please articulate these presumed “ties”? Tweets are cheap and I’m not some broke ass euro trash think tanker hustling for pocket change. Beyond being fellow crackers we have only been an opportunist alliance with Europe for +/- 70years and europe has done everything they could to fukc us for hundreds of years including agitating the conflict during the civil war. More recent and for context, the intention of the ECU was to displace the dollar. This was also Mark Carneys desire in his previous role as Somalians daycare center manager for the Bank of England and his bitcoin push. And, European countries are also in conflict with each other. Germany is a dead culture and economy that marginally exists on what remains of their export industry and dominance in the small committees of EU leadership/council/parliment - and this has caused incredible tensions with emergent countries like Portugal. Further, there are ***big*** European divergences on monetary policy. Like China, Germany has also manipulated **their** currency against the dollar - although it’s not by arbitraging mainland v RMB money - Germany HAS simply NOT followed EU’s own recommendations on reduction of current surplus - that gives us the authority to impose anti-dumping duties against 'em. Now I hope they enjoy China dumping cars on them. Country is done. About 8 years ago they were running military exercises with China disguised as “medical” inside of Germany. Figure that one out. Google it. Your assessment totally neglects, or perhaps is unaware of, incredibly significant issues in Europe that have torn the place apart well beyond “immigration” - for example “Green energy”. Germany got exemptions for its energy-intensive industries (chemicals, metals, paper,etc) but other euro countries still must pay for EURO initiatives to pay for renewable power. That left ordinary household consumers to pick up the bill. Didnt work out well in France and that one of the major issues that led to the yellow vests (which itself had allegations of British provocations) Several years ago Germany committed to “Renewable energy" = 25 percent of Germany's electricity & the German gov set targets to increase the share to 40-45 percent by 2025 - where we are now hence Germany recent mea culpa ”whoops” In all, 28-country EU HAD a target of 20% of energy from renewable sources by 2020 / now they have no potential to bring their grid or nukes online for at least 10 years at best…and that not counting their extensive industry if environmental activists. Or should we discuss Europe’s treachery with TPP (in Europe called TTiP) or its Somalian daycare we called the Paris Accords. With friends like Europe who needs enemies. Our allies are now ASEAN. India/pakistan (tricky eh?) and LatAm I don’t give a shit about old postcards of notre dame. They let it burn down from “a cigarette” and Canada has an odd problem if it’s churches self immolating. Nevertheless, I was in Greenland in early June an the people I met with weren’t the Somalian honkies you see on tv crying about “Trump wants to take Greenland”. Greenland is a totally colonized country and Denmark has tried for decades to smuggle in Chinese mining companies by using Australian front companies. So. Whatever
