What's happening in the US in general is a somber day for the world.

Not for them, when the world capitulates. We are so close to never getting back that bowing to petulant pedos will make inaccessible.

Shithole country.

Local radio station said that von der Leyen has her critics, but most think she done well.

Who? Who thinks she done well? I have yet to see any prominent Europeans that think she came out of this looking well or with a good deal.

Need a new president of the EU commission that can actually fucking negotiate.

Where are the demonic trade negotiators that the Brexiteers moaned about who wouldn't give un centimetre? Just kidding, the British negotiators then were a shower of useless cunts pursuing a stillborn ideology.

The american billionaires of course. Germanys Merz did say they need a deal to finance their big beautiful bill. Their need is more important.

Its stupid.

I like the French - they say what they mean and express how they feel!

Meh. We wanted to buy American LNG and weapons anyway. Well, the French didn't, but most other european countries love Lockheed Martin and Raytheon. Hungary prefers Russian gas to US gas, but fuck Hungary. For most EU countries these are hardly concessions.
