[@aaron.aaron.v.b.9448]

The European and the US economy are extremely intertwined, what had boded both of them extremely well. Of course we are concerned about our most important partner choosing madness. We just can't decouple from the US and they can't (and should not) decouple from us - especially when it comes to cutting edge tech. It would take a long time and leave both of us extremely weak in comparison to China, as both of us had only halve of the resources to utilise anymore. Within the West we share technology. With China we trade, they take our technology, but little is coming back. A split within the West means technological and thus eventually military supremacy of China, a country that does not care to make partners on eye level.

After Ukraine , no nation would vote a Comedian as leader. The nation need a firebrand, gung-ho leader like Donnie

Zelenskyy may be a comedian, but Trump is a clown. It's not the same difference.

You do know Presidents don't have any control over gas prices, no?

@atticusthegamingllama8302 you need anger management 😆

U.S. presidents can't control how much voters pay at the pump, but they can enact policies that encourage low fuel prices.

Last time I checked US president supposed to prioritize US citizens. Unless EU countries want to join the Unions.

Why does everyone keep going on about this? Obviously the US president prioritises the US. That's never been a question or is the question in this video.

Bottom line. Can you see Kamala negotiating with Putin and Iran. Germany: don't you miss the US bases in Germany. Or start learning Russian

[@fka-Kaya]

Lol, as if Trump was able to negotiate with his boss Putin...

[@thegreatdane3627]

US bases in Germany are there to support US operations in the middle east and Africa. They make little difference to German security.

[@skyjumper1653]

@ sure they are.

[@thegreatdane3627]

@@skyjumper1653 look at a map buddy. You might notice that russia and Germany does not share a border. Germany is not a frontline country.

[@Leaf8823]

​@@thegreatdane3627You should also look at a map .Germany does not border the middle east or Africa.And it's definitely closer to Russia than Africa or the middle east.

typical among fascists like trump to claim to known what "the people" want

[@ozeeo]

as a european, i am amazed to see this obsession with Ukraine to continue, especially Germany, which has suffered and will continue to suffer most economically! While US benefits from this war hreatly, Europe loses on every angel. Europe also needs to pivot to asia for its own interest, while is in ge-globalization mode to contain China and ensure its own economic dominance, one way it will ensure this is by sacrificing Europe.

[@peabase]

Germany scored an own goal by overly relying on Russian gas. Naively, Germany thought that the Russian tiger would lose its stripes while trading with Germany. It didn't realise that Putin probably never cracked a book about economics. So, Pootie-Poot confused interdependence with dependence. Oh well, Germany will rebound. Russia? Probably not. What is "ge-globalization [sic]"?
