Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

It's a shakedown, pure and simple. The US is supposed to be a winner, but it's losing and so he needs EU money to not look like a loser.
I mentioned previously that I think current US policy is a continuation of previous US policy of disrupting and targeting Europe. Ukraine, Nordstream, Greenland, Tariffs, and now this.
They want to fuck Europe.
They want to fuck Europe.
who doesnt
right in the adriatussy
They want to fuck Europe.
The question is whether the strategy is best understood in its continuity (deep state persisting between Trump, Biden, Trump again) or if there is discontinuity that is important to the overall analysis.
Ukraine and Nordstream make sense under the Biden strategy, but I’m not entirely sure to what degree Trump’s neocons are backpedaling on Biden’s overall strategy in Europe. Is it appropriate to lump Greenland and the tariffs in the same framework as Ukraine and Nordstream?
But then it should have been only the eu, not the whole world 
Dear EU....purge your Nazis. Make a deal with BRICS. Tell the US to fuck off.
EU politicians reading this: Got it, make deals with nazis, purge BRICS. Fuck US (sexually)
Unfortunately this is more likely of the two senarios.
EU
purge your Nazis
EU countries created Nazism, Nazism will destroy western Europe before western Europe destroys Nazism I'm afraid...
There wouldnt be anyone left in the EU to do the purging
Germany crushed workers wages and rights so they can export more to the US.
Dear EU, not someone from the global South myself, but just wanted to tell you to check your mail from them saying some variation of either 'tag you're it' or 'told ya so'
The misanthrope in me wants to watch the EU and the US&A get into a dick waving contest. I assume the EU would win were something like this to take place?
The EU would split before the US would split.
Bit idea : WWIII alliances end up being the exact same as I and II
no, that'd be boring. i still hope the faultline in europe will be along the aldi nord/sud split.
would make for a more balanced HOI4 game
The US is an important market for the EU plus all the stuff like services they would have to pay to make from scratch, i see both losing
Isn't this an outright tribute payment from a vassal? Lmfao
where does this put us on the path to the American Warlord Era?
Give me five points if you wanna do business in our territory
