yeah the new trump administration is a real game changer and fuels every economy in the world, just not the one he would like to. Thanks Donald ❤️
We can! Lots of great products from America.

It's only one of 30 countries in America that we need to avoid, the USA
Buy Canadian :D
The future of European procurement?
- Accompanied by Rafales and Typhoons
That's been a major issue for Trump regarding the trade war. He thought he could get away with other countries not pacing retaliatory tarrifs, but that's what they are going to do.
This American tries not to buy American.
I got called out as a russian troll in the past for saying that european countries should tell USA government and their military to fuck off.

You all drunk on propaganda, the same politicians in charge now shouting for the rearming of europe are the ones who for decades made every sort of deal with USA government and bought billions of weapons from them.
- No, you get called out as a Russian troll for defending the invasion of a sovereign country.
  
  I've never defended the invasion of a country by another. You coming out with such bullshit highlight that you are drunk on propaganda.
- Until almost 2 months ago, the USA wasn't the bootlicker of Putler that it is today. It was easier for Europe to buy stuff from the greatest power out there than to spend the money to develop the things in-house. American companies had both the technology and the capacity to produce whatever we needed, and depending on them did not pose any danger.
  
  This is trump second term go check all the military deals made before
If i were trying to improve the standing of my country and knew that the EU and US being economically linked is bad for me I would start a campaign to get the EU to stop buying american in order to weaken everyone. Divide et impera.
- I’d get the Americans to vote in an absolute idiot of a leader 🤔
  
  TWICE.
- I would start a campaign to get the EU to stop buying american
  
  Yup, nothing to do with the trade war started by applying tariffs left and right, or threatening to take over part of the European country, or interfering with the UK and German elections... It must be some unknown conspiracy instead /s
  
  Steelmanning their point, they might not be saying that all this is orchestrated by some third party (e.g. Russia), but that they are benefiting from it.
  
  To which I'd say: unfortunately, the same holds true for the alternative.
  
  Don't forget cozying up to a nuclear-armed madman who's ruthlessly invading your neighbor and wants to take you next and then threatening to leave the defensive pact that keeps you all safe from said madman.
- Europeans are reacting. Focus on what's causing that reaction maybe?
