  2. Sensationalist statement

    She’s no different from any other politician

  3. This should have been obvious for awhile now but glad that it’s out there in the open now. Who will be the successor is the bigger question?

    Part of me thinks China could be but that would just way too reactionary right now.

  4. How about getting your individual houses in order lmao. Don’t send a comedian when dealing with serious conversation in oval office.

  6. A global economic and protection alliance between, Europe, Inc Turkey, Canada Japan is the only way forward one without any of the 3 Authoritarian governments (Russia, USA, China)

  7. So, the EU doesn’t want to be friends with Russia.
    It doesn’t want to be friends with China.
    It doesn’t want to be friends with the US.
    It can’t be friends with Africa anymore.

    Maybe they could try Australia?

  8. Typical Reddit; clueless about the realities of global politics

    The “Free World” doesn’t exist, and it doesn’t have an elected leader where we can just replace them with a “new” one.

    In this realm leaders emerge, and like it or not since WWII it has been the US. A far off second now is China; Europe is largely weak and irrelevant and living off the dividends of previous generations.

    If you want to pick a battle and oust the US, I’ll be busy that day, packing my bags to move there – but good luck!

  9. It is high time that Europe pivots away from the US security guarantee and forges a new alliance with Japan, Canada and Australia to imagine a new and synchronous trade and security alliance. The US for a foreseeable future will remain isolated from the free world.

  10. Irreparable is a long time. But it’s not forever. I imagine if Germany and Japan can turn their reputations around from their behavior in the first half of the 20th century that the US can earn their partners trust once more. But it will likely take many years to do so. It will not be quick.

  11. “*The Free World needs a new leader*” is not realistic. 

    First, I do not think that the “free world” exists beyond the US-led paradigm. Whatever comes after a US led “Free World” is something else. 

    Second… leadership. Idk. I think leaderlessness is pretty much inevitable. There’s no way for anyone else to establish leadership. 

    The itself EU is leader less, structurally unsuited to being strategic, opportunistic, or decisive. 

  12. It’s funny to read how the worms started moving in the jar =)))
