So the solution is to be somewhat nice to the US, while slowly building up systems to replace the pieces of US influence.
I think this is good. But I think Europes plan to attempt to be “a third power” will just inevitably make them choose a side. And I don’t have faith that that would be against American Fascism. The “distancing” from the US and the hardening of military feels as though it is just leading into building up infrastructure near the territories that WW3 is being fought.
The average European rightfully sees Russia as a power to condemn and protect themselves from. But, this goes 10x more for America. “It is dangerous to be America’s enemy but it is fatal to be America’s allies”. Ukraine has not been helped by America. Hell, our own politicians openly speak about how great it is that we are hurting Russia without a single American soldier dying. America would do this to all of Europe if it had the chance.
He is 78, so going to die soon anyway.
Evil never dies. He’ll live for awhile and be replaced with someone even worse. And it’s not about whether he actually travels to Germany. It’s that IF he did; Germany would not arrest him. That’s my point. Europe seems to want to pretend that it’s still upholding “international law” but has not actually been tested on enforcing it. That test WILL happen one way or another. And when something happens, and that law is not enforced, that’s when the entire illusion falls apart.
America is just admitting to its own fascist and selfish interests and recognizing that these laws are just “ideas”. American leaders are just saying out loud that they won’t follow those ideas. European leaders want to keep pretending for as long as possible.
Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe Europe will enforce these laws against American and Israeli heads of state. But, they haven’t yet. And I don’t expect it. I hope I’m wrong.
Arrest Trump for bombing civilians in Iran and fishing boats in Venezuela. Would love it.
