For me it would probably be Canada. Seems like we share alot of values with them, and we could do more trading than we do today.
Especially if they also will have tensions with the US, it would be a win win.
But what do you guys think? Northern Africa would be an obvious choice in the future, but I don’t know if they’re ready.
PS. This is not a post talking about leave the US entirely. Ofc not. It would just be better for us to work with others and expand our worldview a little.
Europe has been moving geopolitically closer to the US over the last few years as, most notably, Europe moves quickly away from Russian energy and toward US energy. We have also seen increased purchasing of US arms by European countries. Have a look at F-35 and HIMARS sales, for example. Poland, in particular, went on a huge buying spree for US and Korean arms.
Furthermore, European countries are building manufacturing plants in the US, rather than making the stuff in Europe and shipping it over. This is most apparent with German cars.
To answer your question: “Who do you see Europe collaborating more with in the future”, and the answer is resoundingly the US. With upticks in collaboration with SE Asian countries that aren’t China.
We’re still cooperating a lot with China, despite all she human rights concerns.
Some billionaire like Frenchman Bolloré are using the same strategy as Musk and Murdoch to push their propaganda and far right does well in elections
While we are a it more economically progressive than US, it’s not like gay rights or drug legalisation or even abortion are widely accepted.
Huh? Europe has been moving closer and closer to the US for years now.
Yeah for sure, but the US has taken a sharp turn to the right in the last 4 years, and especially the last 6 months.
Some countries in the EU might also vote more right, but nothing compared to the States.
Everything is moving right.
With Russia of course! But they They won’t want to…
They will. The current elites don’t want to, but they are destroying their countries to please the US to the point of Ukraine 2014. But Ukraine had neighbouring Poland to look up to. There won’t be a neighbouring nation to look up to other than Russia.
The issue is the far right and their sympathisants. Once those are out of the way, we can talk.
For that the US has to address its problems, like the billionnaires getting richer and richer and somehow there being no nationwide revolution. Media being very fear-focused and demanding to treat others inhumanely is also an issue, alongside with social media algorithms bolstering this.
Countries will all take back seat to the all mighty profit. Oh and some bullshit about defending the fabled promised land to keep constituents happy.
Russia. It’s not just Trump going into weird directions. The US is losing power as a whole and the only countries losing power quicker are it’s allies.
The US is losing power for sure, but not slower than it’s allies. Europe can’t just plug and play the US immediately, but they have considerably less problems than Americans.
And just to be clear: I’m not advocating for a US boycott. Just less cooperation than today.
less problems
We EU citizens are on the verge of collapse as we’re about to starve the goose laying the golden eggs,
the German car industry, in favor of US subservience.
There are 0 attempts to save VW, BMW and Mercedes from Tesla, while walls are enacted against BYD and other Chinese car companies.
