It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views.

Not only will this not happen, it will be used to push for austerity and lower the living standards for years to come.
This is simply the next stage in the US plan to destroy its European rival, exactly what Trump had wanted when he asked NATO countries to increase defense spending, but it was Biden who actually got it done.
The eurozone truly turned out to be the EU’s biggest weakness and the US is now fully exploiting this weakness to crush the European economy. This is why I don’t buy it when people say the US is incompetent - every step appears so well thought out that I don’t believe for a second all this is happening out of pure luck that just happens to favor the position of the US imperialists.
I don't think that the U.S. is incompetent when it comes to dealing with European countries because they own, and have owned, the major media apparatuses of those countries since WWII. It is the same with Japan and South Korea. The further away from those places you get though, the more tenuous the tendrils are. Sometimes things work out, but many times they do not and they have to make the best of the blowback they caused, but the blowback was not intentional. The U.S. is certainly in a position to make the most of bad decisions, but that doesn't mean they aren't making them.
