I as an American always understood that the reason was that in exchange for being social democracies they can basically just be giant banks for the US to store its plunder that it gets for fucking over the 3rd world. But recently Trump has been trying to take Greenland and give up Ukraine and basically Vassalize the rest of Europe, and I have no idea why the leaders are still okay with this and why they wont do anything other than say "Pwease no tag Gweenland 👉👈 🥺" like Trump wont do that domestically when Tim Walz asks him not to deploy ICE, so its not a far stretch that he wont invade Greenland. Why are these European leaders so cucked? Even Belarus which brags about not being sucked to America is cucked to Russia at the end of the day.
because they can't fight back?
>I have no idea why the leaders are still okay with this
They aren't okay with this, they've been very vocally angry about it.
>why they wont do anything other than say "Pwease no tag Gweenland 👉👈 🥺"
They've effectively threatened to dissolve NATO. I'm not sure what you're expecting them to do exactly.
>>2654777>They've effectively threatened to dissolve NATO. I'm not sure what you're expecting them to do exactly.Actually disolve it? Like US president is talking about invading EU, what the fuck is even point of NATO, flush it down the fucking toilet and start rattling sabers.
>>2654785Yeah that's kind of my point. People keep claiming that the Europeans will do nothing to stand up for themselves against the US, but they're basing this on a paradigm that will vanish if the US attacks Greenland. The reason why Europe has been subordinated to the US in the past is because they outsource their security to the American military. But if they Americans are themselves a security threat, then what's the point? What are the Europeans getting out of it? They have no incentive to cooperate.
>>2654788>inventive to cooperateWhat about being coerced to cooperate? Outsourcing security to the US has also meant to let the US establish military bases in their countries. It‘s like seeking security from the Mafia and in return a mob shooter is always present in your house. You pretty much screwed yourself over letting it get that far.
>>2654741What kind of -ist is Lukashenko?
>>2654815Marxist-Leninist-BBCist
>>2654815>-istLike an ism? I guess you could call him a social statist. Think of a mid 20th century social democratic policy regime of a state owned and funded welfare state, and a large state sector, but in modern day. He's no socialist, but he's one of the better leaders in the world today as a statesman.
Certainly better than Ukraine, which was once one of the major industrial center of the USSR.

>>2654785because pretty much everyone in the eu comes from atlanticist clubs and US think tanks,so they're currently shitting their pants over Daddy betraying them

>>2654719regarding the recent capitulation of the US about greenland, I think the AI billionaire bullshit will still be built just through legal means now
>>2654881Belarus is pretty cool for being the only social democracy that doesn't rely upon imperialism that ik of
>>2654719Because almost every single powerful international institution set up after the end of the Second World War was designed specifically to suppress the autonomy of continental european nations in order to maintain a world order where the United States is the global hegemon. NATO, the UN, the World Bank, the Bilderberg Meetings, the Atlantic Council, the entire modern financial system, etc… All these institutions both reinforce and depend on of a US-dominated world order.
>>2659083And let's not forget Gladio and other operations. Western Europe got buck broken.
>>2659253europeans are the very definition of a useful idiot.
>>2659253I love trump, I love him, I want him to ACCELERATE AND ACCELERATE AND ACCELERATE at destroying the western world.
Yes he is bad and has done numerous horrible things, but if this is what it takes for it to all go to shit and for the hegemony of the United States to fall then so be it.
>its plunder that it gets for fucking over the 3rd world
there is no plunder to be had in the turd world. most value is created in the North. the US primarily exploits Europe, through seniorage
Why is trump so retarded
