Why would anyone give a shit what Canada thinks?
Excellent question, I think the notable part here is that we're seeing growing divisions in the west. Ultimately, it's going to be suicidal for Europe to follow US policy on China and we're now seeing even Germany breaking with the decoupling policy.
Europe's leaders have already surrendered and bowed to American diktats on several occasions, I don't see them stopping. Nord Stream, damaging sanctions, everything Ukraine. I have no faith that they're going to change tack, though I want to believe.
The current governments have very much exposed themselves as US sock puppets, but it does look like there's a wave of backlash building against them now. We already saw them get kicked out in Slovakia, and I expect the trend to continue. Unfortunately, it looks like right wingers will be the ones who get in power as a result.
Here's hoping! 🤞
