I think internationally they always had a bad reputation, its just eu that holds them in high regard because of their contribution in ww2

Eh, I donโ€™t think that has much hold anymoreโ€ฆ After all it was a business decision, not a moral stance! I think its more about being a large tradingโ€ฆ

Wait, we did not concede anything? What are you on about? Being polite? Countries tend to be polite to other countries representatives!

1998 Cavalese cable car crash, Killing of Michael Ovsjannikov... that you had to ask it makes it even worse

Jesus christ, that's right up there, but not quite at, that time shey shot down an Iranian (full) passenger liner.

For one I donโ€™t see the connection in any possible way! Both cases took places decades ago, long before Trump got into office and started demanding concessions. And in both cases the eu did nothing wrong? In both cases a us citizen did something terrible (at an order or not), but the US had jurisdiction over them both? And yes incredible amounts of corruption must have taken place in the US but again how is that the eus fault in any possible way?
