    An idea for 600Bn€ investment in the US: Buy back the European subsidiaries of US companies. (At a lower price if we do not buy from them or invest in them in the meanwhile)

      The EU got a really shitty deal, the worst part is the EU agreeing to invest 600b Euro into the US, and buy US military tech.

      This could instead be used to boost local EU alternatives

        The EU is stupid for doing this deal. We shouldn’t agree to it.

        The EU should build its own army of armies instead and say “fuck off” to the USA!

          It is not made out of stupidity.

          It is a mix of lazzyness and pure corruption.

          This come from a generation of EU politicians tamed into approving whatever come from the US.

          If the nazi child rappist said he want it they obey and thanks daddy.

          Most of them did not care and an evil but very active minority is hopping for a few cents and a place in the plane with whoever replaced Epstein.

          Take care of you loved ones and try to figure how to make the world a better place but never believe anything will come from those rotten institutions.

        I’ll continue to sell them services necessitated by stupid American laws and systems that won’t in any way grow their diplomatic power, but even at my pretty damn high hourly rates, I could work a million hours a year and not make a dent.

        Best we can collectively do, though, is see where we’re investing our money. My retirement fund was a composite of index funds, predominantly American, all American-run. I switched over to a different fund that has more European and international indexes, with many run by European owned companies. System here is such that retirement funds must be diversified, which is why they contain multiple index ETFs, some of them overlapping.
