Trump is simply making Europe speedrun their independence from America. Countries are dumping US treasuries and limiting deals on a global scale. The US is still the reverse currency, but it's smart thing for counties to prepare for a full cut off later down the line seeing how America does not respect them and is constantly trying to strong arm them into being subservient.
I wonder how the Tech morons who attended Trump's speech a year feel about Trump pretty much cutting off their EU customers

Then they announced that they’ll start doing whatever this is by the time that the government and president changes :kobeha:
Its still a very significant geopolitical move because it's happening in background of Greenland mess and threats from Trump.

Your clown President yesterday raised tariffs on South Korea because Korean parliament was taking time in passing the trade deal.


He's sowing seeds of mistrust with every single US ally

Orange man wants America to be completely independent, but his idea of American independence is everyone else being completely dependent on America and being afraid to leave. Ever since he threatened taking Greenland by force, the EU and Canada had enough and China is sweeping up all the new trade deals.

French are seen as more arrogant somehow which can be true or false. And also it might be influenced by Americans who believe their biggest foe in NATO are the French for many reasons for instance leaving NATO during the Iraq war. It’s not a very sociologically peer-reviewed paper take BUT it’s a quick opinion yes.
France and US go way back much longer than US and Germany (which basically didn't exist back then)
Maybe France is just REALLY disappointed?
The French - US relationship is also of a completely different nature than the German US one

I don’t want another jackass trillionaire just with a French flag
Yea this would kinda be worse to have in Europe. They might still feel inspired by the US tech feudalist and gradually establish their own corporate cities. Here's to hoping Europe can preserve its somewhat democratic spirit that is barely existent in the US and entirely absent in China.

Well, it started. France announced to shift from US video conferencing technology/platforms by 2027.
Honesty, experts have been highly critical of US hardware dependence for many years. This is a movement that's been snowballing ever since the nsa and Snowden stuff

I think he seriously believes US debt crisis is because US gives alot to the world and hardly gets anything.

However, his way of correcting deals to have more benefits for USA involves forcing other nations to submit to USA demands or face penalties.

His imposition of tariffs last year was already a massive blunder but Greenland? That really triggered Europeans and rightly so.

And, to make it worse, he ridiculed European nations and leaders in his Davos speech right in front of them.

He wants to Make America Great Again but he's making "Make America Gone Again" as his approach will end up escalating - shift from US dollar and shift from US led world order and could isolate USA

France has announced to ban/replace US global tech/ platforms :shocked:
Good. Even after things clear over, we have to stop countries from gaining tech monopolies.

You give them a carrot, they'll try to copyright monster catching mechanics and act like they created it.

Everything produced in society is only possible through communal effort, so it's fucking stupid for people to be able to monopolize stuff like this.

The thing is
America got this kind of monopoly more from how practically it was the only country with it was possible

Let's not act like something like Facebook is inevitable if we isolate a society for 1000 years

The way early coders managed to create languages through numbers isn't that possible in a culture like Germany's or Italy's

Wait till you see the corporations that patent GMO plants, bribe EU politicians to phase out mandatory gmo declaration on products, forcing GMOs on unwilling consumers and mandating that whenever a non gmo farmer's crops are accidentally cross pollinated with patented GMOs those crops can't be sold and are the property of the GMO company because they hold the patent.

Feudalism 2.0 and I don't see the violent revolution this should be provoking.
We wouldn't even need a violent revolution if only those people who are perfectly physically capable finally moved their asses.

It's not as if west European protesters would face complete mass slaughter if they were to gather by the millions and March in a peaceful protest across the continent.
They are extreme cowards that are comfortable with being subordinates.
People in more dangerous countries have infinitely more courage than these West European eternal infants.

In a way

You could talk about how Gun Powder was innovated in China and it barely took a century before even the Mamluks had better Gun Powder

But that's kind of irrelevant untill an effective decentralisation of the Internet , something Russia has been trying to do for a while now

God the shit they've done to the farmers pisses me off so much.

One hundred percent, it's a return to feudalism, using technology to do what state manufactured poverty used to: turn as many people into slaves as possible.

I always wondered why the adults in my country were so hell bent on making children into miserable assholes. Now I know they were prepping them to join terrorist groups like ice, trying to reduce them down into nothing so that they could control them.

Yep so many americans and europeans are complete cowards. Their ethics are faker than fake one piece spoilers. And it doesn't get much faker than that.
