Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Will they ever admit they got thrown under the bus by the Americans?

[–] save_vs_death@hexbear.net 29 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

never, because the only alternative would be pairing up with bad country china

I can see at least some of far right govts in EU cooperating with China anyways. Polish PiS govt for example refused when USA demanded that Poland worsen relations with China. German would probably too.

They'd rather be thrown under the bus and be kept as hostages by US than to ever work and cooperate with "asiatic hordes".

Not the current leadership, but I do expect we'll see major political change in Europe going forward. Unfortunately, it's likely going to be a hard right turn.

In the only way that matters - what currency their wealth is denominated in - the European ruling class are Americans.

i think theres a bigger chance to see them turn fascist too.

damn, someone should build a pipeline so they can get cheap natural gas

[–] Sodium_nitride@lemmygrad.ml 17 points 6 months ago

Or buy cheap Chinese solar panels and batteries

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 6 months ago

Norway did (well it's not cheap though). Interestingly enough it came online literally day after Nordstream was blown up.

Is there someone you forgot to ask?

Europe is cooked lol and all because America needed to make a quick buck

[–] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 6 months ago

To be fair, Europe will likely delays the crash of the US economy by a few years.

[–] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 24 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Whoah what's happening to Ireland?

[–] imogen_underscore@hexbear.net 9 points 6 months ago

recession time baby

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Portugal and Spain appear to be carrying the rest as well. Remove them as outliers

[–] AcidLeaves@hexbear.net 6 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

lol aren't these two some of the most China friendly more powerful European countries too?

turning around their past paying dividends rn, especially when you compare Portugal's Macau handover vs UK's HK handover
