US President Donald Trump has said he may impose trade tariffs on countries that do not support his plans to take over Greenland.
“I may put a tariff on countries if they don’t go along with Greenland, because we need Greenland for national security,” Mr Trump said at the White House.
At this point, it appears that the EU is the last bastion of liberal democracy still standing. The world should probably start to move to the Euro as reserve currency and the basis of trade.
Wonder how the politicians from Europe’s Colonial Imperialism Era (post-Napoleon to pre-WW1.) would feel Europe gaining back it’s status as world ruler after having it gone for only a century or so.
We’re vassal states, Europe is to America what Switzerland is to Europe: pretty and seemingly clean, but complicit still. If America collapsed, right wing populists would probably take over (as they are already with Meloni for instance, or that German dude that looks like a WoW zombie) and plunge us deeper into war, continuing the culture of murder and pillage that brought Europe its favourable position in the first place. Idk about you, but I’d rather not live in a continent that is a bitch when powerless and a murderous cunt when powerful. 🤷
Where are the righteous folk though? I mean, who else is left standing? We got Canada and New Zealand but they don’t have enough of a population to really move the needle. The US is heading in the direction it is. Everything in South America is a target of the US so they would have to organize into a union to be enough of a deterrent. I just don’t see anyone else outside the EU being able to pull this off. If there is another alternative I’m on board.
