The sooner Europe cuts itself off from the US crazy billionaires, the better - on all levels (software and manufacture processes are the two biggest issues). Today we already could see the US surrender team crawling up to dictator Putin. Enough is enough - agent Krasnov needs to be isolated.

I don’t think America is so far gone. We have issues sure, but I for one still believe that we can be better.

Trump be damned, Europe and America are stronger when they work together.

Americans have to hope that the US will move past trumo and not repeat that mistake, but for europeans its most prudent to prepare for a world where such a corrupt wannabe distator doesnt have have that much leverage over them.

The US and europe would be stronger together if the US acted in good faith. Absent that, decoupling is the right choice

Or maybe Europe just thinks if you can't beat 'em, join 'em:

Germany also has a crazy Communist party that is more in the pocket of Russia than AfD is -- but somehow that is almost never mentioned, not even in German media. It's quite big and influential.

Idk, to me it looks like the German green party is very anti Russian...
