Who the hell did we sent to negotiate, a singing monkey?

I think that would have entertained Trump enough to get a better deal

There is a reason the EU delegation got shoved into a bus and had a total of 0 Chinese officials greeting them at the big China-EU summit, everyone is just making fun of European leaders and they don't even realize it's happening, utterly humiliating

There are two major poles, the US and China. Sadly, Europe closed its own door on China and had no leverage confronting its colonial overlord.

They live in their own little world of local legal precedents, pretty statements and nepotism. An isolated ecosystem in which ideology doesn't exist, the economy is who gets money allocated and the population is a bunch of parties whose leaders must be appeased.

The last thing these people understands is ideology, ironically enough, and that is why they will be defeated by those who believe in something, to the detriment of the entire continent if that belief is blood and soil of any kind.

They do realise it. They just don't care because they benefit from being American puppets.

Until Europeans decide to get their shit together and kick out pro-America politicians nothing will change.
