    I’m just explaining to you

    No, you’re just expressing your opinion, which you are entitled to.

    And I am entitled to disagree with you, while expressing my own opinion.

    I guess this is where we agree to disagree.

      Okay, I’m explaining my opinion. Whatever. I’m trying to root my opinion in the material reality of Europe’s dependency on the US (energy, finance, military) because I think that actually neatly explains why Europe constantly bends over backwards for Trump. Again, it’s not just fossil fuels. It’s NATO, it’s global trade in dollars, etc etc. Dependency is multifaceted.

      I can’t help but notice you didn’t explain your opinion on why Europe obeys the US’s demands. Do you have an explanation?
