Fuck yes! I want to stand united against fascism and imperialis!

A united European Army to defend against Russia, China and the US!

United European army Against imperialists

Pick one.

The fascism is already here, the member states are just as susceptible to it. Fight in your own country against the fascists, or the fascists take your United European army for imperialist means.

I'm certain this was agreed upon in the recent phone conversation between Trump and punting Putin

Great we can keep our good food and wines at lower prices.
It would be pearls before swines if they go to the US.

It's an older code, but it checks out.

My sentiments exactly

At last, the big unifying moment when we'll stop scrolling through memes and DO something. Yessir, I can feel it! Yep, any second now...

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 7 hours ago

Do what exactly? Seems to me like EU leaders are working overtime behind the curtains. Better than also introducing stupid tariffs. Don't fight stupid with stupid.

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

WYM do something?
If you're European or anywhere else watching this clown expediating the demise of the US you need to do absolutely nothing and let him carry on.
If you're in the US IDC. They all deserve what they get, they did nothing about that horrible country when it was trying to be the hegemon and harrassing the rest of the word since they profited and were fine with it.
Now they get a taste of their own medicine they complain but that's about it, they are weak and incapable of real resistance.

So? Did you do something? It's been over 6 hours.

[โ€“] [email protected] 22 points 15 hours ago

Donโ€™t worry everyone. Once he and his cronies line their pockets, itโ€™ll get reversed. Itโ€™s okay.

[โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

there probably is some stuff that the eu makes that the us doesn't.

If he tarriffs those, we should not replg by imposing tarriffs of our own (cutting our own balls off). We should just start increasing our prices for those products, therefore increasing their tarriffs

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

an export tariff to fight their import tariff? that's one way of saying we dgaf about your tariffs I suppose. And if they end up dropping the tariff because it's hurting them too much, well that'd be the ultimate humiliation.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

no not an export tarriff. That would mean we pay it.

You usually pay $1 for this item and now you're forcing your citizens to pay 150%? ok, from now on my prices have increased by 100% so now your citizens must pay even more

They cut your gas and you're cooked tho.

Isnt the company that makes the ultra precise lithography machines used by tnmc Dutch. Should sell them to Tue Chinese

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 8 hours ago

Who would sell them? No sane corpo would shoot themselves in the foot like that.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

give away our advantages?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago

And shoot ourselves in the foot while we're at it
