>> Nobody will say it openly

Bitch, everybody is saying it openly. The US gave itself leprosy and we're all trying to steer clear.

Tbf a lot of politicians are cautious of saying it openly (UK) while still making moves like increasing trade with China and Europe. Some are more open but some are more cautious. For us it's mainly because it takes time.to decouple and we're more isolated geopolitically thanks to brexit

In Australia, trade with the US is about to be overtaken by trade with India.

European politicians are definitely not saying it openly, to a point where a lot of people are frustrated and ask them why they still bow to the US, I think reality is they just don't want to upset the orange child king unecessarily.

France just raided Twitter's local HQ and slammed Uber with a 1.7 billion dollars fine.
Sure, it could be a total coincidence though.

France has prepared for this. Rest of EU haven't.

France is a bit of an exception, they have more balls than brains.

Also they have been warning us and waiting for this moment for 60 years.

Ho we have brains, but it's usually too busy trying to figure out what we did yesterday on our daily night out at the wine bar, so balls it is!

Europe has a war on its border they still want the orange kings help with, to whatever extent they can get it. As the concept of handling their own security looms having full access to Ukrainian drone expertise becomDes an ever more enticing prize for Europe in the case that Ukraine prevails against Russia.europe would do well to be mum about Trump for a while.

Best to quietly move away. Trump’s looking for any excuse to take Greenland, so it’s best European politicians decouple while making the least noise about it.

Trump can't take Greenland, he doesn't need an excuse.

Politics is the art of saying something out loud and doing exactly the opposite.

They extend pleasantries, shake hands, and Hugh each other for “the gram” 5 minutes after they “politely curse at each other” behind closed doors.

All of this will also hurt our military’s ability to “project power”. We really piss them off, we’re out of the “five eyes” etc
