I mean, we still borderline run the world, so there's that. In this very OP it's major news that Europe is trying to move off of US technology, because we're just so dominant.

only for the remaining part of the decade, if the US is lucky trump pissing away a century of hard-won soft power handed the century to China

Right, it's all Trump's fault, not the fault of the boomers that sold our country's manufacturing base out to China in the 60's onward which gave them their start, and that we've never recovered from.

But no, I'm sure it's the orange man who still hasn't done 1/3rd of the things we voted him in to do, that is the problem. Average deportation rates are still below Obama's terms, "Mr. President, there's too much winning!!". What a joke, I wish he did half the things you all claim he does, we'd be much better off.

Yep - just look at their oil/energy situation: they still buy it by the boatload from you know who, but just through 3rd parties.

But look at solar adoption across Europe since 2022. It’s going gang busters and now with sodium batteries coming online next year, cheap home energy storage is about to boom as well. Europe doesn’t want to buy Russian gas, but there is also the very real political reality of what happens if your citizens freeze to death. I will be very surprised if any EU state is reliant on Russian gas by 2035.

When people start talking about battery technology that has not even reached scale as any kind of political solution, you know people have lost the plot.

Taking one look at just the cost required for the network, even outside of the cost of any generation at all, you realize this is an insane and slapping a few solar panels down is far from a solution.

And also lets not ignore that places that have done a lot of the 'lets just build renewable and hope for the best' have very high energy prices. And maybe possible maybe sodium batteries might show up will not solve these issues.

You've literally just contradicted your own post in this thread.

No, I haven't. Both the UK and EU are doing many of the same things. You can argue that the EU is bureaucratic without supporting bureaucracy within the UK. These are not contradictory positions.

You claimed that the UK leaving was bad as they were more liberal, and then noted that they were also doing lots of anti privacy stuff. Seems a little contradictory to me.

Thats how literally all state sovereignty everywhere in the world works.

Ok, so why cry over greenland when you know how this works?

Who's crying? We're defending our interest.

Americans really need to consider stuff outside their little bubble sometimes and think about how their country is just a gear in a much larger system.

Of course American power is being pissed away by the guy hurting the transatlantic alliance American power was built on in the first place.

Your internal generational squabbles don't concern us. How you present yourself externally does, and that's worse than it's been in a long time.

Dude please, my country endured 40 years of a fascist government, we know a few things about right wing propaganda...

Accusing anybody who doesn't love the government of "spreading propaganda" is not a sign of knowledge. It's a sign of an obsolete 20th century mindset and perspective on life. Next perhaps you're going to accuse me of "Staatsfeindlichkeit", which the German leadership was screaming in their denouncements, before the people tore down their walls. "Verunglimpfung des Staates" - "Insulting the State", this awful, awful…

Not loving the government is OK. Heck, hating the government might also be OK.

Insisting that we European citizens hate the EU when it is not true, and then doubling down with accusations of censorship when the whole thread points out your mistake, is downright stupid. But hey, if that makes you happy as some kind of freedom fighter, go for it.

So this is why they give out subsidies left and right? Is this why they are working on increasing taxes? Right now in politics you can claim to be whatever you want and your policy stance to be opposite: I am on the right but I vote left wing measures.

in what was is subsidies socialism? what ownership control does the state have over the means of production?

Every year the percentage of European GDP driven by government spending rises by roughly 1%. We just hit over 50% on average in the Eurozone.

So they have over 50% control, and this will only rise as the population further ages, eating all productive activity in the economy.

It doesn't matter who 'owns' the means of production if the government is post-facto seizing a controlling stake in all economic activity via taxation and deficit spending (phantom taxation via inflation). Europe is quite literally eating its private sector like saturn devouring his son.

It is not. I know the media has pushed this ragebait to get engagement from you, but you can literally read the official policy document.

I have read the document, it certainly implies that the EU is a problem and that the US should support 'patriotic' parties in pulling away from it. It's a short read (30 pages, large font) so it's well worth looking at.

A majority of Europeans also think the EU has major issues. This does not constitute being anti-Europe.
