    You have to be dumb as a rock to not assess the ties and all. U.S proved multiple times in the last decade they are One election away to handing everything off to Fascists. Fortunately for Europe, Trump’s first term was him trying to understand everything and it went and passed by, they are not so lucky this time.

    We don’t even know we will have any elections at this rate. Even if we do, I can see him putting Gestapos in election places to intimidate voters. Trump been threatening to shut off Midterms and wouldn’t surprise me if he refuses to give up his seat when 2028 comes.

    Just don’t trust the orange megalomaniac and his master. If he gets his way then Europe might all have to speak russian.

    My bet: we’re not really through the Greenland crisis, yet. Trump will likely try to expand the deal beyond what was initially discussed. Or he’ll have completely misunderstood what was discussed.

    As an American, they’d be dumb not to. 

    Trump agreed to a “framework of a deal” yesterday, a deal no doubt largely similar to prior deals between the US and Denmark/Greenland. 

    Yet Trump has shown he’ll readily go back on such “deals”, and every reason to think that he’ll be hectoring Europe again within the next few days or weeks. Shit it would be more surprising if he doesn’t send out an angry and shitty “Truth” by Friday disparaging Europe generally and Greenland and NATO specifically. 

  5. You know why ? Because after trumps comes Vance. That’s why.

    He is younger, with the same mentality. Imagine the scenario if the administration is so numb now, how can it become under a more energetic and mentally active individual. It’s nightmare material what the world would become in such a case.

  6. what was the U turn? he just said the won’t use force. still wants to mine stuff without being bothered with agreements with Denmark, still wants sovereignty on some areas.. this is not a U turn, it’s a 10degrees steer

    Of course we are reassessing ties.

    A lifelong ally is threatening us with a putinesque landgrab, while it’s sliding into a dictatorship.

    We are trying to protect ourselves from the failed state and existential threat the US has become.

  8. The_Bitter_Bear on

    Good. 

    There needs to be consequences even if he completely chickens out. 

    This shit will keep happening for at least the next 3 years if there doesn’t start to be more pushback. 

    It really fucking sucks the US is in a position to push so many nations around. 

  9. sunnyspiders on

    The world can’t afford to respond to the whims of a toddler.

    That’s the American problem.

    We will move on without them until they grow a spine.

  10. Redragontoughstreet on

    The damage is done.
    Trump gets weaker by the day. Everybody else is adapting so his antics are less and less effective.

  11. What the fuck have our leaders been doing ? Have they been asleep ? Trump is causing chaos and he did promise he would so were our leaders here in Europe just hoping for the best because in those years they obviously made no plans ?

  12. MathematicianOld3942 on

    The first thing I would have done as Europa use their secret service power to get hands on the Epstein files and release them to take him down.

  13. 97PercentBeef on

    Trump is unstable, unreliable, unpredictable; the rest of the world should interact with the US as little as possible until he’s gone.

  14. This re-assesment began early last year when it became clear that Trump is more deranged than ever before. This latest shitshow, for absolutely nothing or to manipulate markets, is just more proof that this is the way to go.

  15. J-the-Kidder on

    As they should. To borrow the term, they all endured a „drink history lesson“ riddled with so many perceived bullshit grievances and illogical statements of utter delusion, how the fuck could they not reassess everything with this country while a demented pedophile is in charge?

  16. Interesting-Dream863 on

    Nothing to reassess… time to build up their military, start phasing out the US and brace for the impact.

  17. Post trump the Americans, if they want to salvage anything, will have to repudiate his presidency and institute significant reform throughout their governing structures; this seems unlikely honestly. Instead they will have the precedent of an overpowered presidency which if not immediately after Trump there will be future residents of the White House who will act egregiously and boldly in their own interests (and the interests of those who put them there) instead of the welfare of the people and the alliances which are essential to American power.

  18. thecheesypoofs on

    When Trump says „framework of a …“ it means he has nothing and he’s just improvising to get out of a problem he created and now he says that he fixed, because Biden of course.

    How many times he said „this is a bad deal and we’re getting of it“ to create something very similar, then declare it the best deal on the planet to say in a few years it’s a bad deal and criticizes whoever signed that deal … HINT : it was him.

    This is far from over.

  19. FreshPrinceOfH on

    There just isn’t any way that this episode doesn’t significantly affect our relationship for the foreseeable future. It’s a threatening and abusive relationship, and we need to put protections and safeguards in place, as the USA as a partner cannot be fully trusted.

  20. MaybeTheDoctor on

    Only sane thing to do. Don’t forgive a serial abuse just because the apologies for the latest incident.

  21. Corgi_Koala on

    He backed off because he was in a place where he had to directly face people opposed to his insanity who aren’t going to kiss his ass.

    Once he’s back in the US and he can just spew insanity on Truth Social we will be right back to him demanding Greenland.

  22. Boy Who Cried Wolf, really.

    There comes a point where even if you strongly believe that he will back down from a threat, the very fact he’s making the threat in the first place is injurious and has to be mitigated, as well as what it says about expected future conduct more broadly.

    Up until yesterday he was „100%“ going ahead with the tariffs. You can’t do business with someone who can’t be relied upon., or rather – you can, as you must – but will work to extracate yourself more and more from dependance on that unreliable party.

  23. It used to be „Tread lightly but carry a big stick “ and now it’s „Use the big stick to bully everyone“.

    The first one is how you get friends, and the second how to lose them. 

    Once lost they will not come back for a long time, is ever. 

  24. WorkerOk9794 on

    It’s left to be seen whether the EU is actually serious about this, or just biding their time hoping the next US president isn’t a psycho and they can return to the way things were.

    Talk about an abusive relationship.

  25. Corrupttothethrones on

    Trump likely pretended to give up on Greenland so they have time to prepare loyal troops. At every new absurdity they test to see who says no, so they can remove them in small pieces.

  26. ContentsMayVary on

    Well the USA has demonstrated its complete lack of trustworthiness and its inability to apply checks and balances to its president. Trust has gone, and there’s no getting the toothpaste back into the tube.

    I told my wife for a few weeks that I was going to have an affair with my super hot secretary. Then last night I told her that I was just kidding. But when I asked her what was for dinner, she threw the pan at me.

  28. flexecute11235 on

    Yeah the global order is going to look forever different. Never forget Americas population of influencers and morons could’ve sparked their brain cells just one time, engaged politically, and continued the world on a path of increasing rights-based, democracy-based, sustainable development. They the people did that.

  29. LaCornucopia_ on

    As a European, I honestly hope they take this seriously and ditch dependence on US infrastructure, but I just struggle to see it happening. The EU is filled with incompetent politicians who are only there for an easy ride (VdL is a prime example), and are desperate for a return to the status quo. 

    I hope I’m wrong. 

  30. Primary-Shopping-789 on

    All US did past 80 years is drag us in conflicts eighter over Israel or Oil. 

    Good riddance.

  31. Trump FA’d, now he needs to FO.

    Dump a load of US treasuries as a warning shot, leave them to find other debtors for the next emission, and start being serious about decoupling the EU economy from the US’s.

    EU is the largest market in the world, Trump only understands money. Hit him where it hurts.

  32. Despite? The U-turn is yet another good reason to do it, nothing is consistent, nothing is predictable, no stability, just random chaos.
