Global Magnitsky sanctions

I hope brazillian and other global south liberals understand all the attacks on russia could easily be done against them

Yeah that checks out

In what way exactly?

Terrible, might as well stay as "Your Party"

I get what you're saying but people here know what's going on so it's not sus

Can anyone here who knows about trade shit explain if the EU can bail itself out of the mess its in by joining (or making a deal with) the CPTPP?

I'm seeing that as a cope from many eurocucks and from benjamin studebaker as well

Just gonna repost this from the last mega since people might have thoughts about it

To those familiar with the recent EU-US deal, can you find a materialist reason for European political elites to see the deal as a power move on their part?

Here are the explanations I've seen so far

1-Ends trade war instability so they're happy, even with a pre-emptive defeat.

2-Their personal wealth is based on the EUR and GBP being an integral part of the dollar system. Their loyalty is primarily to dollar hegemony and American oligarchs provide the ideological apparatus that sustains their rule

3-Fracture between national political elites and their predecessors who they kicked upstairs to be Eurocrats, with the latter trying to leverage whatever they can to burn the former regardless of consequence (you can find plenty of national elites that support this shit though, and the ones that don't are either not in power or not speaking up against it)

4-Post-Maastricht integration failed to forge the cohesive transnational class capable of interest articulation. The mental result is mindless Atlanticism on every level

5-They self-consciously view themselves as local satraps within global US empire. There’s no way for them to stand up to American aggression. By definition.

6-Nothing complicated. Simply put, Europe thrives on American demand, and there’s no alternative that isn’t a half leap into the void. You settle for an emperor who raises your tariffs and hope he doesn’t crush you.

Which one/ones do you think it is, do you have your own theory and how is your day going? Feel free too only answer that last one

SU has historically done to prop up the Zionist entity

That history has a clear cut-off point though

I can't access twitter NSFW stuff in portugal either, and I saw that people in beligum and somwhere in eastern europe can't either so whatever happened it's affecting people EU-wide.

Out of nowhere, since there was no debate about this at the national level anywhere, just shows how technocratic eu governance has gotten

Big props to the liberals doing that though because said brand is the "defense" industry, which is actually rare for liberals to be against nowadays
