They could’ve had a slow, dignified decline of their power and status over 50 years or so. Instead they chose to tear it down themselves, in not just stupid but embarrassing ways.
I don’t believe that the US is that stupid. The EU accepts the tariffs to balance the trade deficit even though digital goods are excluded so that it becomes raw profit for the US, the EU can’t tax the internet giants and the EU allows data storage in the US, knowing that the US is spying on it. We are starting internet user surveillance, using US software.
There should be more than the military split if the US is so unreliable.
However, the EU only has increased the defence spending but otherwise stays on the side of the US.
Then there is one big strategic goal for the US, to contain China.
If the EU is going to help the US with that goal then the EU will need all the weapons they can get and the EU needs a good justification.
So can we be sure that it is indeed a self-own and not a new form of deception?
Greatest self-own in history by the US.
Give it another 24 hours, they’ll cook up a new one.

Billionaires are all accelerationists
