Without America to rely on, the EU is gearing up to be a global power in its own right.

    Yeah, and now watch the American vultures come and feast on its flesh once they’re done with the USA! They’re the fucking enemy. We’re beset on all sides, it seems.

      The billionaires of the US are running out of things to steal within the US, so it’s time for them to try to steal everywhere else (even more than usual). This time, they’re going to do it to the EU using the US military and government. Follow Canada’s lead and put those elbows up.

        Don’t forget about globally organised (but mainly Russia- and US-funded) right-wing populism. Why risk military escalation when you can just funnel dark money to the enemies within European heartland and additionally support them by sowing misinformation through the billionaire-owned propaganda machines we call “social media”? That’s how the U.S. government was captured, and that’s what they’ll be trying to export. If we’re going to have a chance at picking up and carrying on the torch of the free world, we need to slam these backdoors shut asap.

    As a lifelong European and Europist, I am slightly disappointed that it took external events to push the Union together, but I am not complaining about the outcome.
