U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that he is recommending a straight 50 per cent tariff on goods from the European Union starting on June 1, saying the EU has been hard to deal with on trade.
The difference is that europe is ruled by a bunch of compradors, publicly they will condemn US but behind closed doors they will fold and their foreign policy won’t stray 1cm away from washington line
The problem there is the growing political unrest across Europe, as the material conditions continue to decline it’s becoming harder for them to keep a lid on things. A huge cost of living increase will have major political consequences.
Yeah but looking at them, they would prefer to lose to an open fascists than to move a single inch from their political line. Those consequences would not hurt them personally, even in worst case they will just cash in their comprador money and move somewhere. It’s modus operandi repeated many times before.

That’s what I expect will happen, open fascism is the most likely path for Europe at this point.
