Why is a group that you used to have things in common with your ally?
What do we have in common w/ France, Germany, Belgium, Norway ect.
We used to share a cultural back ground, but with the forced immigration that bond is disappearing.
These countries do not like us they do not want us unless we can provide money and security.
These countries are gold diggers.
frick them
People in the US need to grasp we do not need the world they need us. Isolationism is not the answer, but being a slave, errand boy for a globalist agenda isn't the answer either.

Imagine you are going deeper and deeper into debt, using a credit card, to buy stuff for one of your best friends. This friend is perfectly capable of working and they live a really nice lifestyle.
Are you helping or hurting you and your friend?

London produces nothing. Been there. They don’t play sports. They don’t have gyms. And now they’re Muslims

France same thing. Ireland…. To a lesser degree. They still fight.

Here's a hint dumbass, they have not behaved as allies for almost two decades now.
The only thing the EU has helped us with in the last 20 years is occupying the Middle East and overthrowing the Ukraine’s democratically elected leader.

You absolutely lack depth.

It certainly isn’t. So why have they been doing it to us for years?

Good grief.
All anybody has done for two weeks is answer that stupid question. Yes, directly.
It's been answered dozens if not hundreds of times.
Quit lying.

This is not a time for men who would apologize to someone who fricked their wives because she didn't also swallow their load. Your takes on everything so far have been dead wrong, but at least you get the first stupid comment in the majority of threads right now. Just sit these out until you are actually right, which will be never.

What?

I don't understand how anybody interprets that video as "breaking" the European Union.
The speaker is promising counter-measures.
What part is supposed to be the "breaking" part?

So fing what? The trade deficit argument is nothing more than a linguistic trick. We have 325+ million people who are overall wealthier than everybody else that we trade with and we consume like mother fukkers. It's nowhere near a threat that you think it is.
When you have hundreds of billions of trade deficits for decades......what is the other entry on the financials.....its cash. Thats part of the reason we are 36 trillion in debt and china has taken that money and bought a good chunk of the US with it.
A balance sheet has to balance. trillions in deficits dont just get written off.

How are they "shitting" on their sugar daddy when the average tariff rate across all sectors of US exports is running at 4.5 - 5% with a good bit tariffed at a 1% rate?
You can add the fact that collectively they have never reached the agreed upon defense spending. Even after increasing spending over the past few years.

Allies have been shitting on us! We are now returning the favor and they can't understand why.

But you won’t answer it right here and now? Should be easy if it’s so routinely answered, like you said. Ya know, that’s all people have done for two straight weeks. Dozens, no, hundreds of times!! So since you’re obviously keenly smart it should be essentially second nature to spout the answer to such a stupid question, amirite?
Oh and calm down the ‘tude, bro. I don’t wanna have to cut you down to size in front of everyone. It’s just not in my nature. But I will though.

We have a trade deficit with almost every european country and in total it's huge at $235B with the European Union alone.
We also run a trade surplus in services so that evil, awful trade deficit narrows to around $48 billion, which represents about 3% of the total trade between the EU and the US.
Collectively we do about $1.6 trillion in annual trade with the EU. That’s $4.4 billion every single day. And for all of that trade, the EU collects about half the amount of tariffs that we do. I. Other words the US tariffs the EU more than the EU tariffs the US.
But we are being screwed so badly.
