When is Europe along with the rest of the world going to grow some fucking balls and start isolating the US economically & diplomatically like North Korea? A majority of their population voted yes to an openly fascist pedophile, who is openly hostile to democratic ideals and wants to subjugate the free world under his rule. Sure, there would be some economic pain when orange fuckwit throws a tantrum, but if we all keep enabling it we will only be making things worse for ourselves when we inevitably have to fight them militarily.
Eh… you’re being even more short sighted than Trump.
EU leaders are not children. They have plans that goes beyond who the current president is.
We’ve been Allies for a very long time. Exchanging technology, products and services. It’s not as easy as just “cut them off”. A lot of companies in EU have taken steps to become more independent in case of a major fallout with the US. But it’s not exactly the thing you hear about on the news.
I can only speculate from what I know of my workplace. We are taking steps. But it takes time. We can’t just stop all services and take a break for 5 years while we spend God knows how much money developing our own software and solutions.
We still need to keep a cash flow while we transition.
Not just that, we also need to aggressively combat our own far right. We need to tackle it in Hungary, we need to tackle it in all of Europe.
That means, improving livehoods for the proletariat that thinks itself “middle class” and “lower class”. That means actual proper taxation of large companies. And that means actually combatting corruption!
NEVER at least not in foreseeable future. They want the sweet sweet American market or access to the dollars. America is the biggest economy and consumers there consume the most.
