    I think EU has demonstrated that we can act in concord when needed. We can’t beat USA militarily, but we can make it very expensive for USA if they invade Europe. Europe is already working on independence from USA both economically and militarily, if USA invades a European country, I guess we have no other option than to work with China instead of USA.

    I have no idea how Trump see it as a good idea to get former allies to turn against USA. It is already happening to some degree, the alliance is very uneasy now, in a way that has never before been the case between Europe and USA after WW2, and the exact same with Canada and USA.
    USA has no real allies left, only allies of convenience. And at some point USA will learn the difference. That point will probably be pretty instant if USA invades Greenland.

        Europe has no interest in Venezuela, as I’ve mentioned before, nobody likes Maduro.
        Why would Europe sacrifice anything to help Venezuela?
        We have no alliance or obligation towards Venezuela.

          Europe is complicit in America’s crimes since Europe loans money to America. Europe is financing America’s crimes.

          It’s not just “no interest” Europe is actively supporting America’s crimes. Also, Venezuela isn’t the first coup and it won’t be the last.

            What an absolute bullshit argument! By that standard China would be the most complicit, and China and USA don’t agree on foreign politics.

              When you loan another country money, they have to grow that money so they can pay you interest. Stealing another country’s oil is a quick and easy way to make a lot of money which they can use to pay interest.

              Yes, China is complicit. But China is also steadily selling all their US treasuries and buying gold with those dollars.

              Remember we sanctioned Russia to weaken their economy? The same can be done with America as well.

                The last part I agree on, and I am personally sanctioning American products and services hard.
