    As a European I fully support comrade Trump in his successful endeavor of destroying the imperialist and fascist US state.

      The EU is not as detached from global economics as you seem to believe it is. The fall of the US will have world wide implications, for many generations.

        I never said that, but it needs to be done.
        We need to cut ties before they drag us down further.
        Our economy is already going to shit with the high energy prices caused by them blowing up Nordstream.
        And that was under Genocide Joe.
        I would rather have an incompetent moron in charge of the country seeing us as vasals since forever.
        And if it’s up to them they will gladly see us all at war again like WW2.
        Their competition destroying themselves while they benefit and sell arms.

        Fuck that whole country

        that doesn’t apply.
        It’s better to distance ourselves from them before we get caught in their dumpster fire and also get burned.

          And how do you plan on doing that today? You are also delusional like Trump if you think you can just cut ties and happily watch US go up in flames. That simply isn’t gonna happen, certainly not before his current term ends.

            It can happen pretty fast, look what Russia did with those sactions.
            The EU, their neighbour, simply got replaced.
            We can certainly do the same with the US.

              The USSR was not thoroughly embedded in the world economies. Nor did it have as staunch of allies in major positions in EU government as the US does today. Don’t get me wrong, despite being in the US, I do think that countries divesting and becoming less dependent upon a slave state, like the US, is a good thing. However, as the “Great Recession” demonstrated, EU economies are very much entangled with the US economy, with few lessons seeming to have been learned in the last decade and a half.

              Sure, the US might be more impacted, but the EU will not be unscathed, if there isn’t more effort to decouple and ditch neoliberal policies. That kind of stuff can’t happen overnight.

                Completely wrong.
                Also we’re talking about Russia, not the USSR.
                And they certainly did make radical changes almost overnight when forced.
                My point is we need to untangle.
                We are not ‘unscathed’ as it is now, on the contrary, we are suffering bcs of them.
                The sooner we dump them the better.
