The problem rn is the threat of Russia restoring the Soviet Union. If Europe won’t bend the knee to the US, they will have to fight the war themselves. Russia is a powerful country in terms of military prowess. Russian hackers can easily destroy Europe’s infrastructures in absence of US intelligence. They are not ready to protect themselves. They need to stop banning US products and encourage a fair and peaceful trades. They also need to pump more money in their own military. They need to be united before even thinking of opposing the US.
And while I talked mostly about the Ukraine war, the same goes for everything else as well, like trade and commerce. I don't trust the bigger countries to think the smaller ones too much. I don't want Europe to be structured according to what France or Germany see fit, more than it already is, which is already a lot, meaning most if it.

Nice to see that even in Europe some of the policy makers are realizing how unprofitable the "climate change" economy is. Technologies will become profitable when the market deems it necessary. And wind farms will NEVER be profitable. Photovoltaic cells are still not there yet either, but at least the technology cost is slowly coming down.
@@archerizeit7444 policy makers? That guy is an "energy consultant" for the fossil fuel industry. It's like asking a big pharma executive to comment on cheap drugs. What do you think he's going to say? 😅
@@archerizeit7444 Wind power is profitable now lol. And Photovoltaics have been too. for about 2 decades now. Are you stuck in the 1990s?

Interesting of your pto put climate change in quotes tho - takes somebody actively trying to ignore reality to be blind to it at this point.
@@serebii666 If wind power was actually cheaper than fossil fuels, why is China building coal plants? The idea that renewables are less expensive is a fallacy.

But keep suggesting we build more offshore wind farms and destabilize oceanic wildlife. Because that's a great idea. L. O. L.
I completely agree with you. When the presenter asked one of the guests about the US having 'space, cheap energy, and the money' to drive AI development, and what the EU's response to that could be, the answer was disappointing. Instead of focusing on innovation, developing cheap energy, or fostering competitiveness, the suggestion was to tax the US (together with India and China) and redistribute the money. It’s baffling how some fail to grasp that innovation, entrepreneurship, and business are the true drivers of progress for nations-not this outdated socialist mindset!
Europe went all in on solar. They don't have the sun load of the southwest US. Europe went all in on wind. They don't have the strong winds of the southwest US. They turned their back on nuclear without a backup base load plan. It is better for climate change to have EU burn coal than import US LNG.

He is utterly incompetent to actually realize you need cheap energy and industry to be back bone of robust economy.

Plus, EU won’t even purchase American products anymore. They tariff American products coming to EU. What’s the point of defending EU?

Fun fact: A 5 megawatt windmill takes 700 gallons of oil based lubricant every 9 to 16 months to run and operate. You also have to replace the fiberglass turbines every 5 to 9 years and have to be buried and cannot be recycled. It's very inefficient, produces lots of garbage waste, and still requires oil.
US: “We all need to pay our fair share for defense.” EU: “How dare you. Clearly, the US isn’t a reliable ally anymore.” Couldn’t EU leaders resolve the NATO alliance/spending controversy by simply contributing 5% of GDP to defense? (Which is an equitable, proportionate amount each country already committed to provide.)
The US pays about 3.5% and Poland is about 4% but almost 5%. Some of the NATO members don’t even pays the 2% which was the agreed deal during OBAMA. 😭 The majority of EU military strength still relies on the US.
It's unfortunate that Europe neither initiated peace talks, nor provided Ukraine sufficient arms - while still buying fuel from Russia (sometimes thru 3rd parties like India). What should we have expected?
You're one of the few people who seem to recognise that the EU has paid more money to Putin since the start of the war and continues to buy oil & gas. 👏
"Europe neither initiated peace talks" It has. It is in lockstep with the Ukrainian's terms for peace talks. Or do you want Europe to pressure Ukraine, instead of Russia into a settlement? "nor provided Ukraine sufficient arms" such as? "(sometimes thru 3rd parties like India)" And? The point of sanctioning Russian oil products was to make it so that they don't get any profit from their sale, not so they can't sell them at all, since that would collapse the global oil commodities market, and therefore drive up the base price, making it profitable for Russia to sell. "What should we have expected?" IDK what you expected, but from what you write it seems you don't understand geopolitics and international diplomacy.
@@serebii666So Europe is just too weak to enforce a peace or help Ukraine decisively win? Your argument about purchasing Russian oil and gas makes no sense. So Russia has just been pumping and exporting it for two years for no profit?

@TexasSiege It's actually true. The US has been asked to leave everywhere but they refuse. It's not a lie if you don't like the truth. Is it a lie that the people of the US ask illegal immigrants to leave?
Define climate hoax. You can't, can you? If you "believe" that the world's climate isn't changing, prove it. If you "believe" that climate change is due to natural reasons and not man-made, prove it. I'm waiting......
"Energy Consultant" says green initiatives don't work and that we should invest more in fossil fuels. Very credible indeed 😅 Pretty much every serious study shows that climate change is real. What you're saying is just an opinion. And you know what they say about opinions...
The EU has been attacking free speech, even making threats against people inside the US. The NATO alliance was based on shared values and protection of Western civilization. It is hard to make that argument now
Times have changed. The people who rule the world no longer sit in castle's and chatues. They now come from Arkansas,LA and Philadelphia. You don't have to like it but you have to accept it.
The lady talking about dystopian authoritative trends must have missed the entire last four years which is why people voted Trump in. The last four years has been a nightmare for forced social engineering, policies etc. Thank God that is now over.
The US financial system and stock market is an incredibly large bubble, held up by investors all around the world, prone to an utter collapse. EU has to work on deinvesting from the US, selling stocks, selling dollars, selling all US debt, and forcing its population to sell as well, investing instead into the European economy and European companies. This would hurt the US, and benefit Europe. Let's burst the bubble.
So you're basically suggesting declaring a trade and economic war? Do you really think the U.S. would just sit back without any consequences? That’s naive. The reason the U.S. attracts so much investment compared to Europe is due to its cheap energy, lower taxes, and fewer regulations. Going to "war" with the United States isn’t the answer. Instead, Europe should focus on securing cheaper energy and becoming more competitive.
If Europe wishes to become independent from the Americans. In other words, if Europe wishes to become sovereign, the first thing they will need to do is convince Germany to act independently from the American foreign policy. France will have no problem following, they are already biting the bit. Then and then only will the rest of Europe follow and perhaps then Europe will come up with their own foreign policy. UK will remain outside and continue to follow the Americans.
until Europe can protect its trade routes, such as the Red Sea and mediterranean sea, Taiwan straights - the only routes between Asia and Europe - t hey will never be independent. it relies on the US Navy for that.
Dude with red tie is giving honest, real analysis. Out with this Green New Deal joke. Unless Europe is prepared to reconquer the world, they should forget about this Green/Global warming lie.
Adrian Fabre is so out of sync with reality it is not even funny. Those co operations he speaks of has been blocked by not only USA but by Russia, China, E.U, Great Britain, South America, Africa, Middle East and India. But the fact is he constantly avoid to critique the worst offender when it comes to this namely China and Russia and constantly focuses on USA tells me he has an agenda. Yes USA is often a problem but not THE problem. Adrian Fabre is an foreign Agent.
14:21 Solar panels and wind turbines have limited lifespans. "Once they are installed the energy is free" is a dangerously false idea. They are expensive to dispose of, and expensive to replace, as well as being environmentally problematic.
The US banned Australian made vehicles being sold in the US. We have a massive trade deficit with the US, far higher than the US has with Canada per capita. The US also pays the least amount of taxes on the businesses they own in Australia causing our cost of living crisis. Trump has no issue with that.
UK & Europe needs to have a backbone & stand up to the dictator in the US. To avoid tarrifs we need to stop buying there products & trade with other countries
A dictator that makes common sense executive orders, secures our national borders, deports illegal criminals, states there are only two genders male and female, makes us a merit based country, and declares government will no longer suppress free speech. Not sure how that is a dictator but if it is then I am all in favor of it. We had a guy who had 17 criminal convictions and here illegally, he just got deported. ❤
Ursula von der Leyen prioritizes visiting India because of its size, democratic values, skilled workforce, and large population. She is avoiding China due to its increasingly dictatorial and hegemonic behavior.
If she wants trade with India than EU has to do joint venture with India even Tesla was refused 2 years back also EU has to drop its agenda driven narrative against India , drop the disinformation on human rights in India and stop giving refuge to terrorists who want to attack India
No.. Europe security depend on US, Economy depend on China, Thank to Ukraine war the oil and energy should have been 90% depend on Russia. I think lots must be done, china and Russia has enter eu through the Far right paties everywhere in giants Europe. So sorry 😢. Europe should try and ve self dependent
You will never be great if you have high energy costs and rely on foriegn powers for industrial goods like cheap steel from coal burning China or natural gas from Russia. Europe needs nuclear power mega projects to actually meet their energy demands and do so to supplement any pie in sky renewable initiatives which cannot exist without extreme overhead of high energy costs.
“U.S. is not a democracy” “U.S. is now fascist” “U.S. is no longer an ally” “We should pivot to China and Brazil over the U.S.” this is a completely unserious panel
Europe currently applies 10% tariff on US auto imports plus VAT tax. EU auto exports should face similar taxes collected by US. European governments have not been treating America fairly. It must change.
31:45 - Don't forget the geniuses, the innovativeness, and the revolutionary cutting-edge technologies. The USA is poised to take all of it to unprecedented levels. People here sense it more than people elsewhere - unchained like never before.
Rayna Stamoliyska makes logical arguments, but Philippe Charlez was not adequately heard. He is the most pragmatic on the panel. Adrien Fabre seems vested in promoting his own views as opposed to genuine dialogue/debate.
As indian foreign minister said a few years ago, Europe thinks... Europe's problem is the world's problem, but the world's problems are not Europe's. Same here in the discussion.
I will be honest: it's easy for most Americans to say we don't buy enough American goods. But the reality is that nearly all our enterprises rely heavily on American technology and services. We pay billions each year to companies like Google, Microsoft, IBM, Amazon, Intel, AMD, Nvidia, Cisco, Cloudflare, Broadcom, HP, Dell, Apple, Salesforce, and more. The problem is that these American companies produce almost nothing domestically and have outsourced most of their activities to Asia. That's why many of you don't feel like we are buying "Made in the USA" products. For example, since I work directly with Microsoft as an IT professional, I have never met any U.S.-based employees. The only people I have been in contact with were Indians working directly from India! Still those enterprises are receiving subsidies from the USA. But since they have nearly nothing produced at home, you as an tax payer will see no real benefit
When someone boasts about being a 'regulatory superpower' then you know the future is very dark! Europe needs to build its own companies rather than think it can simply regulate others. It might be too late for that, though.
@@rameshpratap20 May I be brutally honest with you? The current global political conditions are far more important than AI development. If those conditions are not addressed, ai can and will be the tool ushering in a dystopian dawn around the world.
No. France/Belgium, its about protecting tradition not about making necessary change. Germany, protecting the status quo also enslaved to Israel. Italy, protecting the rich. Spain, trying to do right but too much corruption and a non functional low skill middle class. Everyone else, too small. EU government, protecting their positions. Also, UK, think they are better than Europe but actually not, also enslaved by Isreal.
"They don't take our cars". Well, I once bought a Ford. It spent most of its life on service. When I'm buying cars from Germany, Sweden, Czechia, Romania, Italy, Spain or France, I don't have that kind of problem. 😊
Then explain to me why there are no Renaults or SAABs in the US. Because they broke down and we couldn't get them fixed. Dealers complained they couldn't get enough parts. And other problems. So quality is not just one country.
@morganfbilbo462 Well, SAAB went downhill when it was bought by the American company General Motors during the 1990's. A Renault I've never owned, but my old Dacia from the same company is running very smooth.
The war in Ukraine is the green energy war . Europe tried to go green, but it didn't provide the energy needed . They imported their energy from Russia, providing money for Russia's war machine.
So explain how Europe will pay for this investment? It already taxes its people to death, has a huge pension liability to pay, few young people, high energy cost, most of Europe running high deficit/ debts, plus Russia is a problem?
So America is developing AI, and europe is making regulations. And if you don't like it America techcompany, you can go. This way of thinking is so typical for europe. They don't even understand what is going in. Sad but true.
Europe needs to grow a pair. But that will never happen and the continent will be forever beholden to the USA. Europe had the most to lose by the Russian Ukraine war, but not a single country actually took steps to resolve the conflict. Instead, they supported the war and the USA's position of NATO expansion. The result, handing over the entire Russian economy to the Chinese, giving up on cheap Russian gas and becoming more reliant on the USA.
Why Europe have to bend ？？you have power and more people , your military are just as strong to the American, why can't Europe can not stand on their own?
You cant only rely on renewables because the storage issue is difficult to overcome. I can explain it completely in a youtube comment, but yea. Just not possible at the moment.
I agree with Rayna. I hope Europe grows a spine and stands up to the US in a direct,, intelligent and strategic way, unlike the US leaders who are all bending the knee to their unhinged president.
I am unclear what the mechanism for Europe to stand up to the US would be. Europe is too fractured and will always be. I am not sure Europe actually has much leverage against the US either. You can’t bluff in poker when the other person knows you have the weaker hand.
Except global south is a poisoned apple. Look at China in Congo and elsewhere they are getting destroyed by defaulted loans and bad projects. There are very few countries that can be partners with mutual trust and cooperation. Africa and global South always takes more than they return, historically.
Green technology makes sense in certain geographies. You have to build green energy where it makes sense. If you build solar panels in Germany, yes it won't make sense. If you build them in Spain, it makes a lot of sense. Germany gave up its only renewable option and that's nuclear energy.
Yes, climate change has a cost. But the cost is invisible and doesn't affect everyone the same way. That's why CO2 needs to be taxed. That way, it would have a cost.
The Green Energy foolishness...... An inability to compete without energy hampers defense and people's lives. Nuclear Energy and utilizing tech to enhance clean energy is the way.
If your analysts and observers think Trump ‘can’t remain coherent for them’, perhaps you need new analysts and observers. Why is ‘transactional’ unpredictable?
I pity European countries moving away from united state... Trump said any country that is not fair with America will be tasked America goods are tax but you dont want America to taxed you. It unfair.. Even regarding to neto , trump said pay your 2 percent you will be protected.. how does this become trump bad policy, when all neto members agrees to pay 2 percent of there GDP Let European countries embrace for worst if they turn there backs away from USA
You want to negotiate with China and Africa. Yes, we should negotiate, but don't be naiv, they won't agree with us on most things. The US develops its green energy probably faster than Europe. And they started later.
As an answer EU will regulate and legislate regulations and legislations that regulate and legislate regulations and legislations. The old dude talks common sense, the youngster is dumb beyond belief.
EU has to make a territory for minimum 200 square kilometer with regulated immigration of high skilled workers keeping English as de-facto-language. Invest 500 Billion minimum. This platform create huge benefit for the EU rather than fighting with imaginary enemy Russia. Keep Russia a light partner. this will create tremendous potential for innovation economy. Of course god father will try to prevent, Play politics and get things done.
Why shouldn't China build our green tech for us? Do people understand economy? China subsidizes its economy. That means they subsidize our goods. That's a good thing. It makes things cheaper for us. Use Chinese subsidies and invest the money you save in other things that are more value add.
Macron is right. EU should focus on self sufficiency. Being dependent on others is a dangerous game these days.

What are you on about? 5% is not agreed upon at all, not even the U.S. pays 5%.
EU is too poor to contribute 5%
@@aleekamui we prefer free healthcare over military might.
The US pays about 3.5% and Poland is about 4% but almost 5%. Some of the NATO members don’t even pays the 2% which was the agreed deal during OBAMA. 😭 The majority of EU military strength still relies on the US.
@@aleekamuiThose arrogant European can afford but what about the others 😭
It's unfortunate that Europe neither initiated peace talks, nor provided Ukraine sufficient arms - while still buying fuel from Russia (sometimes thru 3rd parties like India). What should we have expected?
You're one of the few people who seem to recognise that the EU has paid more money to Putin since the start of the war and continues to buy oil & gas. 👏
Because they know the US started the war. It's common knowledge. It's not Russia going crazy, it's Russia defending themselves.
"Europe neither initiated peace talks" It has. It is in lockstep with the Ukrainian's terms for peace talks. Or do you want Europe to pressure Ukraine, instead of Russia into a settlement? "nor provided Ukraine sufficient arms" such as? "(sometimes thru 3rd parties like India)" And? The point of sanctioning Russian oil products was to make it so that they don't get any profit from their sale, not so they can't sell them at all, since that would collapse the global oil commodities market, and therefore drive up the base price, making it profitable for Russia to sell. "What should we have expected?" IDK what you expected, but from what you write it seems you don't understand geopolitics and international diplomacy.
They did sent weapons to Ukraine but most of them were declined or thrown away. They were old and defective military weapons and gears 😭
@@serebii666So Europe is just too weak to enforce a peace or help Ukraine decisively win? Your argument about purchasing Russian oil and gas makes no sense. So Russia has just been pumping and exporting it for two years for no profit?

@TexasSiege It's actually true. The US has been asked to leave everywhere but they refuse. It's not a lie if you don't like the truth. Is it a lie that the people of the US ask illegal immigrants to leave?
Of course the host cuts off the only sensible guest - the one who is not duped by the climate hoax nonsense.
Even the fossil fuel lobbyist accepts the climate science, he just disagrees on how to fight it.

"Energy Consultant" says green initiatives don't work and that we should invest more in fossil fuels. Very credible indeed 😅 Pretty much every serious study shows that climate change is real. What you're saying is just an opinion. And you know what they say about opinions...

The US financial system and stock market is an incredibly large bubble, held up by investors all around the world, prone to an utter collapse. EU has to work on deinvesting from the US, selling stocks, selling dollars, selling all US debt, and forcing its population to sell as well, investing instead into the European economy and European companies. This would hurt the US, and benefit Europe. Let's burst the bubble.
So you're basically suggesting declaring a trade and economic war? Do you really think the U.S. would just sit back without any consequences? That’s naive. The reason the U.S. attracts so much investment compared to Europe is due to its cheap energy, lower taxes, and fewer regulations. Going to "war" with the United States isn’t the answer. Instead, Europe should focus on securing cheaper energy and becoming more competitive.
It’s all a Ponzi scheme that is about to pop
Deepseek just burst that bubble 😂
Europe, less the Baltics, has been too lazy to defend itself for 30 years. I doubt it can become self-reliant now.
They would rather live and indulge while calling Americans evil and fat.
If Europe wishes to become independent from the Americans. In other words, if Europe wishes to become sovereign, the first thing they will need to do is convince Germany to act independently from the American foreign policy. France will have no problem following, they are already biting the bit. Then and then only will the rest of Europe follow and perhaps then Europe will come up with their own foreign policy. UK will remain outside and continue to follow the Americans.
until Europe can protect its trade routes, such as the Red Sea and mediterranean sea, Taiwan straights - the only routes between Asia and Europe - t hey will never be independent. it relies on the US Navy for that.
The UK will stand with Europe, we hate Dumpster

They are expensive to dispose of, and expensive to replace, as well as being environmentally problematic.
😂😂😂😂😂 he missed the small print
The US banned Australian made vehicles being sold in the US. We have a massive trade deficit with the US, far higher than the US has with Canada per capita. The US also pays the least amount of taxes on the businesses they own in Australia causing our cost of living crisis. Trump has no issue with that.
UK & Europe needs to have a backbone & stand up to the dictator in the US. To avoid tarrifs we need to stop buying there products & trade with other countries
First start by standing up against grooming gangs and sharia courts
A dictator that makes common sense executive orders, secures our national borders, deports illegal criminals, states there are only two genders male and female, makes us a merit based country, and declares government will no longer suppress free speech. Not sure how that is a dictator but if it is then I am all in favor of it. We had a guy who had 17 criminal convictions and here illegally, he just got deported. ❤

You will never be great if you have high energy costs and rely on foriegn powers for industrial goods like cheap steel from coal burning China or natural gas from Russia.

Europe currently applies 10% tariff on US auto imports plus VAT tax. EU auto exports should face similar taxes collected by US. European governments have not been treating America fairly. It must change.
31:45 - Don't forget the geniuses, the innovativeness, and the revolutionary cutting-edge technologies.
The USA is poised to take all of it to unprecedented levels. People here sense it more than people elsewhere - unchained like never before.
Canada remains a democracy and ally to Europe. Trade with us, let America do her own thing.
5% sounds more like war preparation. 3% sounds more like deterrence. We are talking about hundreds of billions of Euro.
This panel seems very overly confident about Europe’s capabilities without the U.S.
Rayna Stamoliyska makes logical arguments, but Philippe Charlez was not adequately heard. He is the most pragmatic on the panel. Adrien Fabre seems vested in promoting his own views as opposed to genuine dialogue/debate.
Amazing when it`s weapons they can manufacture the best but solar panels is to hard
As indian foreign minister said a few years ago, Europe thinks... Europe's problem is the world's problem, but the world's problems are not Europe's. Same here in the discussion.
The US cannot continue with the old levels of trade deficits. They add up. The situation needs to be corrected.
Then make cars and food to European standards; the U.S. won't, so we are not buying.
I will be honest: it's easy for most Americans to say we don't buy enough American goods. But the reality is that nearly all our enterprises rely heavily on American technology and services. We pay billions each year to companies like Google, Microsoft, IBM, Amazon, Intel, AMD, Nvidia, Cisco, Cloudflare, Broadcom, HP, Dell, Apple, Salesforce, and more. The problem is that these American companies produce almost nothing domestically and have outsourced most of their activities to Asia. That's why many of you don't feel like we are buying "Made in the USA" products.
For example, since I work directly with Microsoft as an IT professional, I have never met any U.S.-based employees. The only people I have been in contact with were Indians working directly from India!
Still those enterprises are receiving subsidies from the USA. But since they have nearly nothing produced at home, you as an tax payer will see no real benefit
That lady is saying what needs to be said!
When someone boasts about being a 'regulatory superpower' then you know the future is very dark! Europe needs to build its own companies rather than think it can simply regulate others. It might be too late for that, though.
That the problem EU is all talk. She and none of the panel answered about where is Europe's AI. US , China and soon India is leapfrogging.

No. France/Belgium, its about protecting tradition not about making necessary change. Germany, protecting the status quo also enslaved to Israel. Italy, protecting the rich. Spain, trying to do right but too much corruption and a non functional low skill middle class. Everyone else, too small. EU government, protecting their positions.

"They don't take our cars". Well, I once bought a Ford. It spent most of its life on service. When I'm buying cars from Germany, Sweden, Czechia, Romania, Italy, Spain or France, I don't have that kind of problem. 😊
American cars cost a fortune to maintain after first few years. My VW is still running Great after nearly 12 years.
Then explain to me why there are no Renaults or SAABs in the US. Because they broke down and we couldn't get them fixed. Dealers complained they couldn't get enough parts. And other problems. So quality is not just one country.
@morganfbilbo462 Well, SAAB went downhill when it was bought by the American company General Motors during the 1990's. A Renault I've never owned, but my old Dacia from the same company is running very smooth.
@ you also have VW, Land Rover, Volvo etc for Renault & SAAB, that are growing, in terms of sales numbers, in the US.
ok, so enjoy your cars. Hope they feed you very well. Yeah, Broke Europe. hahahahaha.

The war in Ukraine is the green energy war . Europe tried to go green, but it didn't provide the energy needed . They imported their energy from Russia, providing money for Russia's war machine.
Be courtious to Trump while the EU and UK (together?) disentangle with the US. Its a new set of circumatances, it needs a new way of approaching it
So explain how Europe will pay for this investment? It already taxes its people to death, has a huge pension liability to pay, few young people, high energy cost, most of Europe running high deficit/ debts, plus Russia is a problem?
So America is developing AI, and europe is making regulations. And if you don't like it America techcompany, you can go.
This way of thinking is so typical for europe. They don't even understand what is going in. Sad but true.
Beg Putin for protection!.... he just might consider listening 😁😂
Europe needs to grow a pair. But that will never happen and the continent will be forever beholden to the USA. Europe had the most to lose by the Russian Ukraine war, but not a single country actually took steps to resolve the conflict. Instead, they supported the war and the USA's position of NATO expansion. The result, handing over the entire Russian economy to the Chinese, giving up on cheap Russian gas and becoming more reliant on the USA.
You noticed that no one disputes the 350 billion in trade advantages EU enjoys, a lot of that because of EU tariffs. Open up or we will hit you hard.
Even so-called experts forget to remember President Donald Trump first tenure which was democratic where as Democratic party acted as a facist....
Green energy in the US makes a lot of sense. Green energy is very profitable in Texas and California. Same in Australia.
Why Europe have to bend ？？you have power and more people , your military are just as strong to the American, why can't Europe can not stand on their own?
If Europe was to spend same way US does they couldn't be socialistic and would have to cut their social welfare programs.
You cant only rely on renewables because the storage issue is difficult to overcome. I can explain it completely in a youtube comment, but yea. Just not possible at the moment.
Yes, we can! ❤
Whatever the political system, the leaders that matter. Unfortunately, currently no such good leader in the Europe.
I agree with Rayna. I hope Europe grows a spine and stands up to the US in a direct,, intelligent and strategic way, unlike the US leaders who are all bending the knee to their unhinged president.
I am unclear what the mechanism for Europe to stand up to the US would be. Europe is too fractured and will always be. I am not sure Europe actually has much leverage against the US either. You can’t bluff in poker when the other person knows you have the weaker hand.
I support President Trump the EU and WEF they both suck
Suddenly, the global south has become sweet now for Europe
Except global south is a poisoned apple. Look at China in Congo and elsewhere they are getting destroyed by defaulted loans and bad projects.

Canada is not for sale, taxes dollar to dollar ❤️🇨🇦🇵🇱🇪🇺🇬🇧💪
Green technology makes sense in certain geographies. You have to build green energy where it makes sense. If you build solar panels in Germany, yes it won't make sense. If you build them in Spain, it makes a lot of sense.
Germany gave up its only renewable option and that's nuclear energy.
Yes, climate change has a cost. But the cost is invisible and doesn't affect everyone the same way. That's why CO2 needs to be taxed. That way, it would have a cost.
The Green Energy foolishness...... An inability to compete without energy hampers defense and people's lives. Nuclear Energy and utilizing tech to enhance clean energy is the way.
It's extortion. That's not the way to treat our allies.
If your analysts and observers think Trump ‘can’t remain coherent for them’, perhaps you need new analysts and observers.
Why is ‘transactional’ unpredictable?
I pity European countries moving away from united state...
Trump said any country that is not fair with America will be tasked
America goods are tax but you dont want America to taxed you. It unfair..
Even regarding to neto , trump said pay your 2 percent you will be protected.. how does this become trump bad policy, when all neto members agrees to pay 2 percent of there GDP
Let European countries embrace for worst if they turn there backs away from USA
You want to negotiate with China and Africa. Yes, we should negotiate, but don't be naiv, they won't agree with us on most things.
The US develops its green energy probably faster than Europe. And they started later.
Europe is Finished!!
As an answer EU will regulate and legislate regulations and legislations that regulate and legislate regulations and legislations. The old dude talks common sense, the youngster is dumb beyond belief.
I agree the US is not an alley of reason
😂😂😂😂 What experts? Where were they before Trump got relected? University?
EU has to make a territory for minimum 200 square kilometer with regulated immigration of high skilled workers keeping English as de-facto-language. Invest 500 Billion minimum. This platform create huge benefit for the EU rather than fighting with imaginary enemy Russia. Keep Russia a light partner. this will create tremendous potential for innovation economy. Of course god father will try to prevent, Play politics and get things done.
Why shouldn't China build our green tech for us? Do people understand economy? China subsidizes its economy. That means they subsidize our goods. That's a good thing. It makes things cheaper for us.
Use Chinese subsidies and invest the money you save in other things that are more value add.
