I like how they phrase it as “We will cut them from US” whereas in reality it is a situation where they are cutting themselves from them, and isolating themselves. Europe is literally wanting not to trade with 2 of the most big countries on Earth, let’s see how well that goes.
Europe’s leaders have forgotten the lessons learned by French and Russian monarchs. I mean, the virtue-signalling sanctions against Russia were bad enough but at least they could source gas through China or from the US. If they sanction China, there’s nowhere else with the production capacity to replace what will be lost. Maybe we’re watching a live show of state-Darwinism, where Europe accidentally degrowths itself out of existence and saves the world from climate change.
