Worthwhile to note that any of the 27 states can veto this, france is being fucked over especially here and they're still angry about the nuclear submarine thing from a few years ago.

It would be funny to have the people’s approval rate for this “agreement” in the EU. I am thinking low single digits…

The US and EU came to a "deal" where the EU kisses the ring and doesn't complain about their tribute.

The deal also includes $600 billion US of EU investments in the United States and significant EU purchases of U.S. energy and military equipment.

That's funny. Is the EU actually this materially dependent or are EU politicians bred in some secret CIA lab to be the perfect lapdogs?

a) can usa even supply that much energy

b) euros are the most brain broken people this side of gulf states

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)

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

I can't believe I used to give a shit about that organisation lmao.
