America & Europe Break Up, Now Adversaries #usa #europe Is The Age of American dominance is over? With some saying it took 80 years to build, but just a week to tear down. So JD Vance spoke in Munich and he gave this speech that basically said Germany should rethink the consensus around Nazis and then capped it off by saying Americans and Europeans don’t share the same values anymore. And Europe responded to that with “Yeah, you’re right, we don’t share the same values. We don’t recognize America anymore.“ With the German prime minister responding to Vance saying "Never again fascism, never again racism, never again aggressive war." Then Vance met with Germany’s new far right party, the AfD, which brought upon even more denunciations. Then European leaders convened yesterday to discuss moving on without the United States. European officials believe that Trump will withdraw troops from the Baltics and potentially all of Europe in a concession to Russia… Some European politicians now say they believe the US is now an adversary. At no time in our history has America been more alone than it is now… even Singapore joined in.. with the Foreign minister saying the US was once a liberator with great moral superiority but now it’s a Willy nilly landlord seeking rent. The US is now also trying to negotiate a peace in Ukraine without Ukraine or Europe, and demanding Ukraine give it 50% of rare earth metals in exchange for nothing. Some Trump aides say that Ukraine needs to pay back the US 500 billion dollars worth of resources, despite the US only ever giving Ukraine a maximum of $110 billion worth of humanitarian and military aid. In fact Trump demands a higher share of Ukraine’s GDP than the reparations imposed on Germany at Versailles Ukraine and Europe say they will accept no deal that Trump negotiates — with many commentators noting that Europe has more arms to give than the US, and with them saying that the war ends when they decide it does not when Trump & Putin do. Europe is expected to announce a heavy investment in their own industry, with Germany hinting at it being nearly a trillion dollar investment. This also means Europe will eventually no longer be buying American weapons… America’s biggest customers have been pushed away & some say that could be the death for American R&D. The US was only able to spend two trillion to develop the F-35 because they had the entire NATO alliance on contract to buy it… weird, strange times ahead. - @philipdefranco
