A draft strategy obtained by POLITICO points to the difficulty of unwinding years of American technological dominance.

The EU is a big ship and it takes time to turn around. That’s fine and understandable, but I feel they haven’t really understood the world has radicaly changed and they cannot hold onto the fairytale of US/EU cooperation, even if Trump is undone tomorrow, Hate towards us can come back in 4 or 8 years.

    a stratified society with a single ultrapowerful dictator is not indicative that the CCP are actually communist…

      Whether they are really communist or communist-in-name-only is irrelevant to my point, Europe will not work with them because they claim to be communists and so it will choose to be conquered by the US instead.

      They can’t even do State-level investment in building a tech infrastructure because the Eurozone currency bloc prevents deficit spending.

        Europe isn’t as brainwashed as the US when it comes to communism. The reasons the EU doesn’t want to rely as much on China is because of the human rights violations, lack of ethics, lack of social provisions, environmental issues, broken agreements and abuse of power for example.

        It’s a really nuanced and complex issue, just shouting communism bad seems like a strawman that has nothing to do with the real issues.

        Large parts of Europe have social systems that in the US would be labeled as communism. There are places that investigate and have run trials on things like UBI. There’s more to the world than communism and capitalism. And for my own two cents, both systems are deeply flawed.
