Why does Europe fear the US so much?
Yeni Safak ^

Posted on 07/10/2022 6:44:50 AM PDT by FarCenter

What if the U.S. dragging Europe behind it – by the hair – and claiming that the Russian economy will eventually collapse, turns out to be like the “miscalculation” Russia made in the initial days of the war when it pounded on Kyiv’s door only to withdraw?

In fact, what if it's a “lie”?

...

Economic black holes are forming all over Europe - including Berlin and London. It is only natural that Germany’s crisis is voiced the most because if Germany falls, the rest will follow. The fact that it recorded a foreign trade deficit for the first time in 31 years, its import rising to 127 billion euros is not a matter to be taken lightly.

Relevant American companies today started to profit greatly from Europe’s energy needs. They started making new investments - exactly what the U.S. needed. And this is only the beginning.

If you noticed, the situation on the battlefield is no longer discussed as much. It may seem like Ukraine is losing, but in reality, Europe is losing. In Dante’s “Divine Comedy,” the inscription over the gates of Hell warns, “Entering, leave your hopes.” That is the brink to which U.S. “sanctions from hell” are driving Europe.

Official and semi-official Western sources’ pessimistic scenarios and projections regarding Europe’s course toward economic disaster are pages long. Some scenarios even state that in the event the fuel demand declines by 5 million per day, the price per barrel may soar to $380 (JP Morgan, 01/07). Meanwhile, Washington is trying to estimate how long the same Europe can continue the war and fulfill U.S. orders. Political and social unrests, assassinations, and the fall of governments may provide a calendar, but this situation affects Türkiye’s economy as well. Thus - despite having no responsibility or blame - Ankara is constantly and on its own, seeking ways that lead to peace or trying to establish it.

Because the elites fear the day when the population understands that they’ve been lied to about socialism for 80 years.

It’s not fear....it’s bowing to the money tree.

Probably because they aren’t very bright. I read yesterday that French women are terrified and angry because the SCOTUS took away their “right” to kill their unborn children utilizing the primitive abortion method. Minds are a terrible thing to waste but most these days think that it’s okay.

The Germans make a catostrophic strategic miscalculation about once every generation. Germany cut its own economic throat when it embraced “green energy” and dismantled its coal, fossil fuels and nuclear industries. They also committed cultural suicide with their open borders. They did this to themselves.

They don’t fear us, they laugh at us. We’re always fighting their wars.

Question: “Why does Europe fear the US so much?”

Answer: Because a parasite cannot live outside the host.

The Eurotrash have been sucking on the American teet for so long that they forgot how to take care for themselves. They need the USA for all their military defense. NATO does not exist without the USA. We also provide them with a huge trade imbalance. We purchase everything from them and they purchase nothing from us. This is how it works. It’s wealth transfer, in one direction from the US to the EU.

From the article:

“The fact that it recorded a foreign trade deficit for the first time in 31 years, its import rising to 127 billion euros is not a matter to be taken lightly.”

The US has been running a trade deficit for many years, and no one seems to care. We need to bring manufacturing back to America, but no one is willing to do it. Trump didn’t do it. W didn’t do it. Reagan didn’t do it. Certainly no Democrat is willing to do it.

Half the US population has resisted the Decadence of Western Civilization and maintains allegiance to TRUTH--TRUTH for its own sake--the foundation of Western Civilization. Much of Europe has not.

Nothing frightens the delusional like TRUTH.

Huh? So demand declines sharply but the price increases even more sharply? Is that how economics work in Turkey? The article is from a Turkish writer.

Excellent Twitter site of Will Schryver who on Jan 13th wrote a series of very prescient tweets outlining the upcoming war. The first link is to his Twitter site. The second link to a roll out of his January war posts that have aged very well. The next four links are all from his brand new blog. The last link is to a chart of European Land Forces Comparison - 2022. This one chart offers the evidence that this war has been intended, planned.

Russia made in the initial days of the war when it pounded on Kyiv’s door only to withdraw?

That is one take. The other from those who have a great deal of tactical experience is that the Russians threatened Kiev to pin Ukrainian forces while they engaged in shaping the battlefield in Luhansk and Donbass to destroy the Ukrainian army there.

Of course we all know that that is unlikely because the Russians are incompetent and the world's greatest chessmasters would never engage in a feint or swindle, a swindle of such a magnitude that the West - which will prevail in Ukraine as sanction bite - can't even see it was a swindle.

Starting in 64 the Euros were buying Russian oil by a pipeline. In 81 the Russians built a pipeline that supplied them gas. Subject of intense debate during the Reagan years.
After the USSR ended the Euros bought a lot of gas from Russia. All went pretty well until the WEF/DC/EU decided to _simultaneously_ buy gas and start crap in Ukraine and expand NATO.

Hard to go on an expansion binge AND still have a good relationship with your vendor.

Because America is made up of the “trash” Europe cast away.

If they were Americans, they’d be mad and looking for vengeance.

They haven’t figured out that Americans aren’t like that, generally.

My solution: Station half a million US troops all over Eastern Europe with nukes. Disarm NATO. It’s all on us. Russia knows we’re not their enemy.

Make ALL European nations pay for it including Russia.

What’s in it for us? European women for the young G.I.’s.

Yes, I seperately follow Schryver’s posts and he has some excellent material. Of course anyone who falls for his stuff is a traitor and Putin puffer - you do know that, I’m sure.

I think it was 90% that. And probably 10% poised to roll two hours down the road into Kiev to set up a government in the event Zelensky fled, or something of that nature happened.

But it was never a plan to attack Kiev.

So true. Everything with the idiot Europeans seems to be explained by remembering the great insult of 1755, the catastrophe of 1355, etc, or other such lunacy.

They are a petty people who live in the past when it comes to war.

How many experts have been proven wrong in the past few years, on this, on that, on everything
