    Of course this isn’t news, neither for the Europeans, much less for the Global South, but seeing the rupture between the imperial core and its vassal States has a meaning, which I hope Westerners would be able to understand and veer things towards a new end, not fascism in Europe rising again.

      The EU true believers I know are incapable of comprehending this. They are steadfast in their conviction that this is all just temporary.

        I’m more surprised about how the majority of EU true believers aren’t turning their guns against the US, but instead go into full imperial lackey for the US and see nothing wrong with that, but see everything wrong with standing up against it.

        China is currently at a position of strength equal to the US towards the Soviet Union during the 1980s and the only regions in the world right now that are slowly considering China their friend is China, now including Hong Kong and Taiwan.

        The US is currently threatening the whole world to ram their fists through everyone’s faces and people are still praising it.

    They only give a shit because the US is threatening to take their colony away from them.

      The legal framework for Greenland to declare independence has been in place for decades.

      They’re currently a self-ruling territory that is part of the Danish realm by choice. Not saying that forgives old colonialist crimes, but it hasn’t been a Danish colony for a while now.

    It’s using all of its power to seize control over everything it can. America is the greatest threat to democracy and autonomy since the USSR.
