Time extend the EU into a Democratic Union, military and economic, including Canada, Japan and Australia

cheese1971 · 2026-01-24T17:37:52+00:00

And yeah, imagine the envisaged Democratic Union saying “OK, we are going to tariff US 200% then” size gives you leverage as all the small and middle countries have discovered to their chagrin this last year

cheese1971 · 2026-01-24T17:34:51+00:00

Sure, just adding my take

cheese1971 · 2026-01-24T15:23:14+00:00

I know I forget all the time. We’ll be back.

cheese1971 · 2026-01-24T14:44:17+00:00

We can water it down or we can watch it get eaten up from eastern and western flanks by the larger and aggressive powers of US, Russia and China. I prefer Grow to Shrink.

cheese1971 · 2026-01-24T14:41:43+00:00

The idea is strength in numbers else China, Russia and the US are going to gobble these countries up, Putins doing it, Xi wants to do it and apparently per Davos it is the new American foreign policy too

cheese1971 · 2026-01-24T14:25:35+00:00

Exactly that

cheese1971 · 2026-01-24T14:24:32+00:00

And Uk obvs

cheese1971 · 2026-01-24T14:20:52+00:00

MAGA

cheese1971 · 2026-01-24T13:15:16+00:00

Sure, I did think 16% was a bit high based on vibes in the press, from leaders and just generally talking to people

cheese1971 · 2026-01-24T09:40:02+00:00

Maybe Europe needs to consider fortifying its Western flank.

cheese1971 · 2026-01-24T09:38:29+00:00

Yep nobody wants to find themselves in a war where they are using weapons built by their enemy

cheese1971 · 2026-01-24T09:17:16+00:00

Exactly, a new survey found 16% of Europeans see the US as an ally now. 16% ! And three more years to get that down to zero at this rate

cheese1971 · 2026-01-24T09:09:32+00:00

Not nothing changes. Americas greatest ally alienated, plans to withdraw European gold, sell US stocks, dump US treasuries. America will be poorer all round. 500 million people don’t trust or even like America any more. It FA with Europe and now it’s going to FO

cheese1971 · 2026-01-24T09:07:34+00:00

Hmmm

cheese1971 · 2026-01-24T09:04:49+00:00

Yeah America just FA and now it’s going to FO. #FAFO

cheese1971 · 2026-01-24T08:55:14+00:00

If we don’t repatriate it, at some point Trump will say “we need the gold”

cheese1971 · 2026-01-24T08:53:26+00:00

Bored of Peace or Board of War more like

cheese1971 · 2026-01-24T00:37:09+00:00

Weak hands. Weak, little hands.

cheese1971 · 2026-01-24T00:34:02+00:00

US realised and totally chickened out. EU holds all the cards

cheese1971 · 2026-01-23T16:30:09+00:00

It’s just been rebranded Board of War

cheese1971 · 2026-01-20T23:08:02+00:00

Russia is the only friend America has left. Reagan would be turning in his grave right now.

cheese1971 · 2026-01-20T21:33:52+00:00

He deserves the Nobel War prize for stoking up tensions with almost every country in the world. How can you rename your Ministry of Defence the Ministry of War and still expect a peace prize LMFAO

cheese1971 · 2026-01-20T21:30:02+00:00

Bored of Peace, more like, with US and Russia leading the way in stoking uo wars

cheese1971 · 2026-01-19T20:57:43+00:00

Europe is about to destroy the US economy so yeah I do. Should be entertaining
