“Earlier this month”… It was 3 days ago 🤦🏻‍♂️

“we condemn this act of war against us! Please, stop doing this!”

Man! I thought the /s was clear 🤦🏻‍♂️

You guys need to spend time away from the Internet /s

Well… removed about it on the Internet ain’t gonna change anything…

That’s what some people want… Not saying I like her. But Russia, China and now the USA want Europeans to be divided on our perception of European politicians.

No. They are paying 30% tax to the USA, for anything imported from the EU.

Not that it makes a difference, but I’m boycotting everything I can from the USA.

No more taking at Esso or Jet. No more Prince rolls. No more Coca-Cola. Cancelled Netflix.

Imagine getting caught for this because you challenge a tax.

Yeah. The guy probably got money from someone, will patiently wait 3y without being sent to the front. It’s a joke.

It’s actually promoting espionage and treason.

And this does not even account for all the pv-systems that are either off-grid, or behind the meter and not accounted for.

Very true!

Lol. Being born in France, I know a few things about strikes 🤣

I also understand that they are a sign and a reason for the current social climate in the country. Some strikes are meaningful. Most are just ridiculous.

Of course. Not like 20% of their economy is based on tourism. Or that normal people then prefer driving their car than taking the train.

And you know what? Anyone who can paralyze the country should strike, just because.

Train drivers? Airport personnel? Truck drivers? Hey! If you can freeze the economy, go for it!

The number of people I know, who have a car just because they need a solution when people strike…

My point is that French always strike when is really sucks. Summer, Christmas, etc. Because that’s what “works”.

You don’t hear about protests and strikes during low seasons.

Only during high season. Do the same at the end of January and you wouldn’t hear about it.

Hey! What do you know! Next thing will be a series is China-made medical devices, super cheap, that throw patient data to some “super safe” (wink wink) server, with ai capability.

If the UK agrees to that, I hope they don’t join back the EU.

This is one of the reasons why the EU needs to strengthen their neighbors (UK, Ukraine, Maghreb, Turkey, etc) before they are fully compromised and used as proxies by larger/more aggressive entities (USA, China, Russia).

Yeah… So?

What China is doing is literally the game.

People who criticize whey China did, don’t seem to understand what Realpolitik is 🤦🏻‍♂️

I’m the 1st one to criticize China. But for things like genocide, persecution, etc.

Ah! Yes! Europeans totally stopped doing it. Wink wink.

Total gets juicy contracts in Africa and Latam, just because they are the best. Wink wink.

Back to China. It’s more like “we, Europeans, made the rules of the game. Stop beating us at it! 😭”

Sure.

Isn’t that precisely one function of embassies? As in, the way Europeans have been using them to expand economically for centuries?
