    their biggest rival wouldn’t be one of the biggest partakers

    It has worked out for them, hasn’t it? It’s all about capturing the production processes. The US now has to contain them to come out ahead.

    based on individual events

    The individual part is important. Foreigners are individuals, US foreign policy isn’t.

      How? According to your theory, they have been heavily bolstering the US military for decades. At least that’s what you want to blame Germany with, but somehow for China the same would be a win?

      US foreign policy isn’t.

      So you want to extrapolate that because Trump is trying to save Milei with money, the US is effectively controlling us all?

        blame Germany

        Why blame? It also was a partial win for Germany, but we deliberately forfeited on building the fourth reich so we don’t have that concentration of power.

        want to extrapolate

        Why do you want Europe to be independend if there is no control?

        Milei is just the most recent incident that is out in the open.

            You argue that the EU has to be strong to avoid being influenced by the US. At the same time you doubt that the EU is influenced by the US.

              I doubt that the EU is controlled by the US. Of course there’s influence and attempts to control us.
