I hope they do make the details public, but it does look like EU bent the knee with this one.

    Ashamed to be European today. For all the tough talk and strong worded letters we really can’t blame anyone else about being so dependent on other forces when we capitulate so easily to these thugs.

    For all the talk about holding the line with other allies such as Canada, who are much closer and keeping their elbows up, this is truly disgraceful. Plus with all the far right influence popping up all over the west at the same time, which isn’t a coincidence.

    Besides, with the way the US is going, Trump or not, how long until this deal is null and void by them?

      This is temporary as the world adjusts to omit the US. It takes time to reorient your economy away from a consumer economy, and the US. I expect it will happen faster than many expect, as the US will no longer be a desirable supplier or consumer of your goods.

      They are isolating themselves.

        Yeah, that’s my one hope, to be honest.

        I understand needing them for now, because there’s kind of change needed is just that huge. But I hope we actively put in the work to break away from this dependence long term.
