Summary

The "Signalgate" scandal confirms the Trump administration's deep disdain for Europe, viewing it not just as obsolete but actively wanting its demise.

There are 3 major implications: an inevitable trade war where Europe must unite; continued US pressure on Greenland despite European pushback; and Europe needing to support Ukraine not just without US help, but potentially against US interests.

European leaders who stand firm against US bullying are seeing rising approval ratings.

Europe should "with firmness, courage and politeness" chart its own path forward.

Europe is a comparative bastion of liberal democracy,

I think you mean colonialism and white supremacy.

    As an Asian, please go fuck yourself.

    We had just as much, if not far more cruelty to our own people, for instance our caste system was really just charming.

    The British brought rule of law, sanitation and medicine, and they stopped the monstrous Muslims from genociding us every time they felt like it.

    Seems like a great trade to me.
