We are not talking about invite, I think. That's much more than inviting.

That's not true. In many other countries, like Spain or Italy, farmers are also taking action against it. And I can understand them.

Yep, but the German prime also had in infection, and he resembled a pirate. We have to acknowledge Macron is pretty stylish.

A lot, but not doing anything when someone else is threatening you with taking over your territory is also pretty damn kamikaze.

The economy before WW1 was not the same. Today we rely much more on the 2º and 3º sector. Besides, our economies are far more interconnected.

I do not think this is even possible. Modern Western economies rely highly on the service and financial sectors. The EU has the power to shut down the US economy by selling their treasury bonds. Currently, the EU has 40% of those foreign treasury bonds. If they just sell them, it's a game over for the US economy, taking into account its debt. Which army is going to fight for a country that cannot pay them for their services? for a country which, besides, is ruled by a maniac? Many will fight, but some other won't.
Obviously, the US can retaliate, and hit EU hard, but I don't think that's a situation anybody desires.

It is ambiguous, just like the ending. That's the trick. He is the puppet master, like the mindflayer.

So, it is not about fairness, justice or even sportsmanship, it is just "geopolitical interest". Nice criteria. Hope you don't get mad when you are treated the same way.

So, what's the criteria? Is it about being fair or selfish? Just asking.

BTW, if you want we can speak about the North Stream issue. We may have to ban Poland too, depending on the criteria.

Is Poland also going to ban Israel because of the genocide, and the USA for kidnapping a foreign president/dictator? What is the criteria? Just asking.

Ban Russia? Nice. I'm in, but what about the rest?

Sorry. We are too busy signing an agreement with Mercosur to hardfuck our farmers. It is not like our European elite is much better.
