It's funny how everything Trump, and to a point his predecessors going back at least 20 years, warned Europe about has come to pass. NATO, Russia, China, energy. And only now they are beginning to see the light. Macron, of all people, seems to be at the forefront of Euro-Leadership warning that they must change.

"The era of basing our production in China, of delegating our defense to the U.S., and of getting our energy from Russia is over. The rules of the game have changed," he said. The French president accused both the U.S. and China of failing to respect global trade rules in massively subsidizing their economies.

“However strong our alliance with America is, we are not a priority for them” he said. “They have two priorities: themselves — fair enough — and China.”

Europe declined to join the USA in our "trade war" with China. Now they too see the folly in exporting their manufacturing and money to China, who steals the intellectual property and builds their industrial base to replace western industry. Europe still has a huge industrial base, but it is dying, and serious action is required to save it.
