The EU is much more than just kleptocracy. The EU is economic might. In difference to the US we Europeans are able produce goods that are bought on the world markets. Just ask the Chinese if they prefer a Cadillac for a Mercedes. Of course it will be regrettable if the US markets break away for Europe. Nevertheless we Europeans are strong enough to find other markets. It will cost us some money but we will survive it. If Europe is searching for new markets and friends it will have some impact on the US. This is a dangerous game for you Americans.

Not even close.

Y’all in Europe just can’t admit to yourselves how much of your economy is floated by directly parasiting off the US, and indirectly subsidized by US favors.

The only thing Europeans can produce that American’s can’t is truffles. We can live without the pig dug shroons.

BTW Mercedes is about the last car I would buy , they are not that hot . My American made pick up truck has over 300,000 miles on it and still looks and runs great . The guy that bought my last American made pick up truck is still driving it and it has over 450,000 miles on it .. most of us aren’t stuffed shirts that care about German cars.

Let your new friends protect you.

“Just ask the Chinese if they prefer a Cadillac for a Mercedes.”

Actually the Chinese consumer prefers Buick to both cars you mentioned, because of brand loyalty dating from the 1930s.

Americans might be capitalist running dogs to the Chinese, but they do love their GM Buicks.
