Most Americans think that the United States is the most powerful place in the world. Today I want to learn about why Europe might in fact be most powerful. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
Trump is demanding that we in "Europe" buy more from America. Why would Europeans buy cars that are way too big for our roads and inherantly significantly less safe, less well built and less fuel efficient ? Why would we Europeans, buy US beef which doesn't meet of food standards because it pumped full of artificial hormones, why would we buy American chicken when it is full of bleach and also doesn't meet our standards? Why would Europeans by American Aircraft, when the US could hold us to ransome by having an "off switch" with which they could render these aircraft useless by turning the technology off completely. I believe that the USA needs Europe more than Europe needs the US!
It have nohing to do with US cars or food. USA is a larger country so they need more products from other countries and EU is 27 countries not one country as many US citizens think of EU. When Trump charge EU with tariffs he charge small large and medium countries with tariffs where the small large and medium countries of course not purchase same amount of product that USA need, why is it so many in USA can't use your brain?
Becouse merikkka just want, need, demand exstort, to pay for the loans they wont pay back.
Herr Pedofiel strump want to stay presidunce becose he cant be indicted for horrible crimes.
@KristianGreen-AndersenTo be fair, as far as trade policy is concerned, the EU is not 27 markets but 1. A consequence of the unified market.
Ford had some success... when they made european cars for Europe.
@BeMonkey1 Nope, the Eu isn’t locked for external trade policy. Any country can trade by his own with other countries out of the EU. The EU trade policy is made to facilitate the exchanges between EU members, but it can also negociate as one when all the countries agrees in that deal. Meanwhile a country can sign an EU trade treaty, but push higher normes on his own to avoid quality products they don’t want to sale in their territory. Those products are authorised to travel thru the borders, but not to be sale. To be honest, those are rare cases.
To build you need a team.
To ruin, just a child with matches.
OR a spoiled three year old, holding his breath and stomping his feet.
You mean like a orange toddler walking strange because of a full diaper?;😅
Just a guess...
@CherylJamieson-k7x who you talking about
@footbal_reels Dump!
@CherylJamieson-k7xwhatever you want to call me
72% of the germans dont trust in USA anymore
You could say Europe...
As a German, last I heard it was 86%... Did you listen to the ÖRR?! 😅
@chloeuntrau4588 Maybe, it might be 72% of Russian trust Trump America.
Polls in Sweden show that our population now view America as a bigger threat than China. Threatening to invade Greenland pushed us over the edge
i get ur point, but dont trust these polls. they're litteraly made on 1k people typical, not a real statistic
In Germany we say, don't bite the hand that is feeding you.
We have that in the UK too. USA has yet to learn what it means, as they are under the illusion they are the one feeding everyone else! They are in for a shock.
Germany is the sole reason USA is still in Europe. None of the other European countries trust them
@richardturner3464yeah we loved our american brothers very much... and we do so on, but this orange man, is a big problem.
in France too...
@janschobi3419We love America in Sweden too. And if course we love our German brothers and sisters very much as well. Sweden and Germany has always been very close.
The reputation will take 2-3 generations to restore if ever possible
World War II was 2-3 generations ago. Do you think Germany has fully restored its relationships and reputation? Here in Germany, the topic of “Nazis” unfortunately still isn’t over. Even generations later, there are still people here who want Hitler back 🤮
Perhaps.....No tourism, no contract and no business with the USA! That is the world`s answer! The USA will reap the hatred they sow now! No one can trust this country!
@Typ_mit_Hut well if the shoe fits
@Typ_mit_Hut My opinion as a French living in the Eastern regions of France, annexated twice by German empires, and living one bridge away from Germany, is that West Germany has done a tremendous effort to try and understand what happened and make amends as much as could be done. Be they blessed for it.
But it is a human trait to conjure up bad memories when people disagree. People might be more wary of any show of power coming from such "bigger" countries as France or Germany or of any other one who led a conquest policy . Likewise, we French cannot expect our former colonies not to be wary of any attitude reminding them of the dark hours.
That's what we Europeans all have to deal with: trying to have cooperative and friendly relations while remaining conscious that our respective pasts must make us doubly cautious and respectful in our dealings. And, most important, not trying to lead but to convince on an equal basis.
@atlantik770 And the world will be governed by unelected elites, that tell elected governments what to do & control billions of people globally. Trump is against them. Trump who was Democratically elected by his people. What do you want? A global dictatorship that you had zero say in by vote or someone you voted into power?
84% of the Danes don´t trust in America anymore
alot of countries don't trust them.
🇩🇰 I strongly support my neighbour who must have a mental fight against the orange moron.🇸🇪
And 16% of the Danes are apparently morons.
@bengtholm6065I still find it funny that Sweden, Norway and Finland are standing by Denmark's side like "we're the only ones with the right to hate each other!"
Should be 100%!🇩🇰
Taco said the EU is freeloading from the US but the US is freeloading from the world
He said Greenland (hence Denmark) is freeloading on the US bases in Greenland and should pay for them. Denmark as an ally kindly allowed them to be there rent free when the US wanted to build something to defend the US east coast (Washington DC) against whatever would come flying from Russia. Now Denmark is freeloading for not paying for protection of the US.
As a European, this is what I have to say about it. Europe built it's welfare states over the last 80 years and didn't invest in their military. Europeans always figured "the US will save us when needed". The US HAD to invest massively in their military, therefore they didn't invest in a wefare system. I don't blame the US. for this. It's the European politicians who have betrayed their own people for the past 80 years.
@Mamba-Kush its often argued that this relation was always a part of the American long term strategy. By keeping Europe dependent on US support they could increase their dominance on the world stage. Previous presidents were smart enough to see the full picture and understand co-dependency, but the current one only sees short term transactions. He thinks he is winning while he is in fact weakening his own country by forcing allies to become stronger.
@Mamba-Kushreally you are wrong they could build a welfare system but the corporate America make a culture war of building a social societies for them was it communism so they don't have to pay for it
@Mamba-Kushdon't kid yourself the US wanted to set it up this way so countries would buy American military equipment, they made so much money this way.
The slightly horrified realization in real time is fascinating
I feel safer with free healthcare than with 11 aircraft carriers
😂😂and you might can have it when you don't have to pay for europes defense anymore. However, free healthcare isn't mentioned in our constitution as a right and the federal governments purpose is to provide defense, not take care of your cold.
@billieunderwood8303giving birth in USA cost 30000 dollars !!!! Never mind the "cold"....😢
@billieunderwood8303defense over health tells you everything you need to know. Thank god I live in a country where the politicians work for the people
Prioritise weapons over the softly of your children in school and there school stems which are terrible put people into debt over health care but hey you have a large military and people that are as bright as a bag of rock 👏
I already feel fine when i visit a foreign country and dont see any American tourist.
You got it right, Americans live in a Bubble.
90 percent of what you believe about the world isn’t correct.
@patriciaryde2995 Agree most of the internet is fake in one way or another. People lie, the more powerful the bigger the lie. ordinary people who care not for power represent 99.999 population. Those people that suck up to gain power are sad sad people because they can not understand the fact we the people don't care for power. We the people just want a fair life. Mozart cared not for money, he cared about his music or the artist who care about art, it goes on and on inventors get taken in by rip off Business money men. Power people are evil predators who care not for anyone except them selves. So sad life could be better peace for all if not for the few Greedy people. We are all human yet are set fighting against each other, for what wars yet it is the 99.999 who fight the wars for the evil greedy people.
As an analogy America is the Truman show.
You can tell them, but they still don't understand the meaning of the word bubble.
They chose to live in their bubble. Like frogs in a boiling pot. Not jumping out because they demand more comfort in their warm bath. Does France still eat cuisse de grenouilles?
Trust comes on foot but flees on horseback
No, it's worse. Trust comes in a snail and flees in a race car.
Such a good quote
I am very happy you watched that video. It is a wake up call.
The whole world is interconnected. A single bully can do a lot of damage.
Money is a token of trust. If trust breaks down, then money becomes worthless.
I promise to pay the bearer on demand the sum of..... Written on UK bank notes.
Hence the rise in the Gold price, something tangible that people can see and hold in both hands. If every country sold its US bonds back to the US the treasury would run out of Gold paying them in it. Fort Knox would be an empty building apart from people pulling their hair out.
What the original video is hinting at - but never actualy states matter of factly is the reality that NATO was created to empower the US deliberately. It was set up before the EU - and it was the result of European nations not trusting each other - but trusting the US. US was an outside force to whom you outsource your military might, so that you don't have to rely on Germany, France, Poland, Hungary, Italy or Greece. 2 world wars just happened. And EU nations made a conscious decision to not militarize. And it's not just cheap credit - EU constantly made trade deals with the US that were very one sided. This was the price of having the US as a protector. But now this is no longer the case. EU countries trust each other more than they trust the US.
Poor education, pure brainwashing at young age for US superiority complex😊
Hitting the nail clean... I remember living in the US where people thought we were poor in Norway. Then tried to convince me that English was from the US.
Right on the money!
@Glenn-hm8sb English language from USA? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 SRY BUT THAT IS BRAIN ROT xD
I never knew about the indoctrination and the insulated nature of much of the culture until Trump, and Ive lived an hour from the border my whole life...you dont see it on friends and seinfeld!
@Grovstock1682 Obviously the English language doesn't originate from the English tut tut tut smh smh...
As a swede who tried working in the US as a software engineer.. sorry, never again, life is tons better in sweden working as that, the us is a shit hole
Agreed...I won't even work for a USA company....
Touché!
@fuzielectronEasy to say that now.
I'm also a Swede, and I've worked for US companies in Sweden. Talking to my US colleagues was proof enough that the US is a third world country.
@lornahuddleston1453 an interesting comment. I would be interested in your expanding this opinion and why?
Can you add the links to the videos that you’re watching? That would help the original creators to get a bigger following and we can watch more videos around the subject
Este chico es horrible en sus comentarios y además de eso no pone el enlace al vídeo original. Pura basura.
The moral of this story is….. don’t piss off people that are smarter than you. 😊
Love it, shows how much people are together on this.
Basically, don't bite the hand that feeds you.
And dont ever think you are irreplaceable.
Problem for America is that there are so many that are smarter thanTrump.
@bobbysox897no the problem is that Trump managed to bring to power people that are dumber than him. Which is an achievement seeing how ignorant he is
As a brit....The fact our PM who has 0 convictions, is not in the epstien files but may loose his premership due to appointing someone else who is in the files. Constantly getting shredded to peices even after the firing said epstien files person. The contrast to america is jaw dropping.
The president of america, a felon who said he 'grabs 'em by the pussy' is in the files THOUSANDS of times. Not just finanically not even just weird photos full blown evidence of PDFfile behavior and r@p3 -nothing. No one dare say a thing.
Even the literal king is facing more flack over his brother. I am just left saying WTAF AMERICA?!?!?
Im Briish and totally agree with you
Agree. In UK it is 'how dare anyone behave this way, here is some public, very public, shaming as you deserve' (real punishment would be better though), and in US it seems to be 'here, have our kids, be evil as you want IF you have money and power, and face no problems'. I know many many many Americans who do NOT think that way, but some also voted for, and still support, people who do.
Agree
🖖
Agree, America lets a criminal into the oval office if he can make them money. That’s all they care about.
👍👋🏻🇨🇦
I really respect Tyler for trying to face up to his US bias.
Sometimes, it's a bit performative, because by now he should have learned enough about Europe to not be surprised anymore, but this time, I really think he learned something new.
Respect from 🇩🇪
Respect from 🇫🇮. Not a typical, average American anymore!
I agree not average anymore from Norway 🇳🇴
This guy is Stephen Woodford he has always good and informative clips I follow him for a while now.
@AVD-b4k you are talking about the British Guy?
Yeah, really liked how basic he made it Sound
Gotta look him up
@lynnm6413yes the British guy, he has a bunch of topics on his channel.
The Batman analogy really hit the nail, amazing. 😂
The USA invest their citizens' money mostly in weapons and the enrichment of American billionaires.
DanielKelly-p6h well no really easy sullutions , but if you invest 15-20% of your income in EFT you will "normally" after 10 -15 year have a desent amount of money , but off cause there are no garanties
Creating wars makes them tons of money and then when it’s all said and done US companies clean up the War-zone to make even more money and or build new golf courses where genocide has occurred
To be fair they have invested European citizens money on the military while using US citizens funds to for the enrichment of billionaires.
The problem isn’t weapons it’s healthcare, Denmark spends 9.2%% GDP on healthcare USA significantly more then any other country 17.6% GDP + 8.4% GDP, Denmarks military budget last year was 3.3% and USA 3.2% GDP, the military budget is not a big part of American spending, Poland spends 4.8% GDP on defense and has low healthcare spending taxpayer funded like Denmark, who might have a interest on spreading the lie about defense and its European country’s fault everything bad in the USA, 8.4% GDP that is more then two extra military budgets, they could have no debt and a even better military if they wanted for 8.4% GDP
@jimporterit’s healthcare spending, nothing else matters to a significant extent in the USA problems, Denmark 9.2% GDP healthcare spending USA significantly more then any other country 17.6% GDP = + 8.4% GDP, Denmark spend 3.3% GDP on defense and USA 3.2% GDP on defense Poland 4.8% GDP on defense, only the USA has insane healthcare spending it’s 2.5 extra military budget spending extra on healthcare and every focus is military spending is the problem it’s not about military spending it’s a healthcare system totally out of control, if Americans fix that all other problems are 1 world problems if they don’t 2 world country status soon.
This might bring Americans down to earth a bit, and make them start learning that they rely on the rest of the world, and they don't rule it.
If we take Britain as a proxy of it happening in a lower scale, no, no they won't. They will double down in fact.
For quite a while they did both, but nowadays the latter seems fading.
muricans think the rest of the world are in a global economy with them but that theyre not in a global economy with us LMAO
I am afraid that most of those who have some brain power, already understands that, and those who do not are too stupid to change their worldview anyway
That will never happen Keith. Can you stop a Canadian from saying sorry? It's ingrained. USers are far too arrogant to recognize your one sentence. Not sorry for saying so.
the plans the eu made was created to defend aginst unfair and violent economic attacks from china, but the US was the ones dumb enough to try it.
Iirc it started as a measure thought trough due to Russia's actions, then China and now the USA is the most likely to get it...which is wild
There always have been tariffs, but selective. High on goods you can produce yourself, low on goods you need to buy from another country
Europe is a protectorate. can not defend itself
@richardturner3464 oh look it read the little troll memo and repeats the message, you must be very smart.
Tell me again how the USA won the war in Afghanistan. And Iraq. And Syria. 3d world countries and you spent 4 trillion getting exactly nothing done.
You're pathetic.
@richardturner3464 lmao
Already, Germany is asking for it's gold back, worth $194 billion, which is held at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. They put it there because of that trust, thinking it would be safe from aninvasion ot from the likes of Putin. But, not anymore, they are demanding it be repatriated because of that lack of trust. Mr Loony Tunes is doing real adamage to the US and it going to take a long time to get it back.
Trump did 1 good think: kicked Europe awake. Suddenly we kickstart numerous initiatives to create our own systems. Social media, financial, military… cracked down on US companies not conforming to our laws. About time.
well, thats not entirely true, de gaulle waanted europe to unite in the defens of it, but usa sais noooo, you can't do that yuo need to bee depended on us, on the late 1998 Twenty-five years ago, then-Secretary of State Madeleine Albright warned that the alliance would only remain strong and cohesive if there was no decoupling of European defense structures from NATO, no duplication of NATO capabilities, and no discrimination against non-EU NATO members. This narrative is so well entrenched that U.S., NATO, and even EU officials routinely invoke the “3Ds” in defense policy debates.
@leilahalen6659NATO was set up by the US to keep the Europeans from rearming. Like a deal where a cop gets to wear a gun but a citizen not, in exchange for the cops protection and paying the cop a salary. (Europe holds 8.2 trillion dollars of US debt, more than the rest of the world combined.) And then the cop started complaining the citizens didn’t have guns, threatened them and started shooting wildly in a drunken rage. Well, guess what, the citizens are rearming and cutting support from the cop. To protect themselves from criminals and the cop gone bad.
I'm looking forward to a new world where politicians in Europe, Asia, and the Americas start electing serious leaders. For so long every country has been just following America's lead, and quibbling over trivialities in the meantime. Now the quibbling must end, and votes must be cast more seriously. No more culture war crap, no more side questing, more heavy-duty existential decisions.
They say a key difference between dogs and wolves is eye contact. When a dog finds a problem, they search for the nearest human and look into their eyes for guidance. When a wolf finds a problem, it focuses on the problem with its full attention. Other countries have been America's dogs. It's time for some serious, independant, self reliant leadership around the world. It'll be great.
I wish people would stop giving Trump credit for waking up other countries, he doesn't deserve a pat on the back for anything
@KaeleanaOne can accidentally do a good thing. I didn’t give him credit. But I should have said ‘Trumps buffoonery accomplished one good thing.’
The EU anti coercion measure/trade bazooka was originally put in place to counter China. The fact that the EU has been considering using it against the US, shows how big a threat the US has become.
And that is just weapon number one....
Like all empires, the United States will come to an end. A transition is underway, and I believe that within 10-15 years, the superpowers will be Europe, China, and India. Sooner or later, Europe will be federalized, and that means an economic and military superpower. Shared debt for European rearmament will represent another step toward federalization. Anyone who understands economics understands Europe's moves. Crisis after crisis, excuse after excuse, Europe is increasingly uniting toward the United States of Europe.
these comments are from bots, there is no way
@clem_chret Sorry to tell you but I am not a bot
@Ikkeligegladthat's concerning
USA thinking theyre more powerful but have NEVER won a war on their own😂
You forgot Granada 😂.
@dvanoostenthey even had help with that. Look into it
Also their wars happened somewhere else, not on their own land.
@pamfrancis1319 Never on their own land, always somewhere where there was something for their own benefit , oil, power, whatever
@MartinShepherd-o5t4wMakes it even more silly 😂.
The trust is gone. Maybe in 50 years its back? But we do not want a system based on the US dollar anymore!!!
What's the use to a US citizen of having a good US army if the real enemy of the US people isn't abroad but is sitting in their own government?
The fall of the empire comes from within
There's something in their founding paperwork that talks about the right to bear arms. Someone also made a comment along the lines that the militia is already active, just look at ICE....
It leaves the US in a highly compromised position.
But their constitution is written down.
It is sacrosanct.
there are checks and balances.
ICE wouldn't violate it.
😞😞
@stephenlee5929😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Trump wants mutually exclusive goals: greater European military strength and greater European dependence on the US. A militarily independent Europe will pursue its own policies. The division has already occurred, and it currently matters little who will become US president after Trump. The prognosis for the US is less favorable than for Europe, primarily for socio-economic reasons.
Americans created a grassroots social movement that forced the establishment to change its policies, but MAGA only has the power to destroy the system-this movement will not build anything. It lacks the intellectual base. Some MAGA people will withdraw from politics, others will sell out to corporate oligarchs, and the construction of a new system will have to be carried out by another movement, perhaps a leftist one.
This guy is wrong. Russia, which tried to establish autarky, is now falling into a "sad" state. China is not cut off from the global economy, which saves it economically, as it has been unable to generate sufficient domestic demand. The United States has structural problems and a lack of will to implement real reforms. The truth is, the US economy is in poor shape, the stock market says little about the real economy but much about investor hopes, and the reality for the average American is not easy.
Europe's main task is to reform the EU and develop a new integration model, because the model in which the country with the largest economy had the greatest influence on EU policy has proven dangerous. Germany, like the US, has become complacent and has begun to prioritize its own interests in EU policy, culminating in the war in Ukraine. Generally, it would be good if the Lilliputians had more say than Gulliver.
Basically, the US has money for such a big military, because Europe and the rest of the world loaned them money.
And JD Vance had the audacity to tell Europe to step up their defence spending and to stop relying on the USA. Europe pays for your defence too
True 👍
❤❤❤😂😂😂❤❤❤
The interest on US debt already costs more than what it takes to sustain their military. If Trump provokes Europe ( and the world at large ) to turn its back on the dollar / US trade then it's the beginning of the end of US dominance on the global stage.
we could dump them with one whipe
I'm old enough to remember when the pound sterling was the world's reserve currency. The wheel turns.....
And now it may turn again, possibly to the Renminbi. That's how the world works, not even empires live forever.
USA got it`s reserve-currency status after the UK lost it durring the suez crisis in 1956. UK was the economic center of the west, but USA sanctioned them and the dollar rose to power. As it is now the EU can replace USA as the major economic power if Donald doesn`t back down. Without the european support USA can`t get the cash to maintain it`s military.
💙💙💙
"europe is batman" is my favorite quote of 2026 thus far
🖤🖤🖤
A dystopian American hero?
It's a truely recognizable analogy
Show me Gotham City on the map - I'll accept the Google Maps even though they mislabel some geographical features for you - of the RL USA and I'll believe Batman to be USAmerican. 😝
@joelceda3500Gotham is a village in England.
🇨🇦 Stands with Europe, Ukraine, Denmark, Greenland. We are fed up with the US right now.
right now wont be enough!
Do not forget Canada (I'm a Swede and Trump fucks with us to ofc, but as far as I know he never said we will be the 52 state). and you can also include Mexico...
@alexanderwingeskog758 Iceland is apparently the 52nd state. The 51st is Canada, then Greenland and now I think it's back to Canada because US negotiators will not let Greenland ever become a state. Despite Trump calling Greenland the 51st state, negotiators will not let voters in Greenland be able to have any saying.
Trump is now upset that Canada picked the SAAB Gripen instead of US planes, so clearly Sweden must be problematic by now.
Trump threatening to invade Greenland means he told the world he is ready to invade anybody seemingly randomly and nobody likes that. He is speedrunning US isolation.
As a Dane I’m proud of the canadiens how they step up for Them self and how we share common Ground about so many things.and not forgetting your support with Greenland. I know a few Canadiens and all are just lovely persons. Love from Denmark💪
Yep
Many americans still don't understand Amerika first means Amerika alone...
In a world that prioritises their own, the idea that the US somehow isn't allowed to do the same is interesting
no it doesn't, but in a world where the EU is killing itself with leftist policies and ideologies, a country led by the right wind that is fixing decades of leftism is gonna face the very left who hate him for no reason at all, if not that he put some taxes one us like we did on their products
They will at some point when it is too late.
@BobbySterm The right wind is a fart
@BobbySterm The taxes he put on the EU and greenland are enugh resons to hate him and left partys don't destroy europe if so please tell me how ( I am Austrian and center to right )
No shade to the RUclipsr who wants to learn, but are all Americans this clueless to how the world works?.
Yes
europe should just call in the loans and then the US is fucked
You dont wanna see what happends then.
That will just result in war.
Agreed, call them all in asap and watch the corrupt USA squirm
That Will ping pong back to Europe as well so not a clever move. An economic depression in US Will not be an isolated thing.😮
The US is a poor country. They have trillions of dollar debts in Europe, China and Japan.
US spends more on military then it does om education and healthcare
And by now they spend more on interest for their debt than on the military. The USA has a debt of 120% of its GDP. And that number has been rising under Trump.
Yet its still not the most successful military ! With fewer numbers but
better training, the UK has been shown to have the most EFFECTIVE military!
Size doesnt matter is an old saying, Its what you do with it !
Britain ruled the World for hundreds of years, in spite of being an Island
about the size of the State of Idaho !
The wild thing is they spend twice what other countries with universal healthcare do on healthcare per capita...
That only proves how much the US hates its own people.
@marycarver-t6v The US is approximately 40 times the size of the UK. The UK despite our small size, is still the world's 6th biggest economy. The UK uses brains not brawn.
The other thing to consider is that the USA was the only country that got wealthier as a result of WWI and WWII by dint of selling to all sides and charging huge interest on loans used for both weaponry and food as well as post war rebuilding. The US also benefitted in that it had the only modern industrial complex that was not destroyed or severely damaged as a result of WWII
It has always acted supremely in its own self-interest. The only reason the US appeared to be pro-trade is because it saw an opportunity post WWII to exploit the opportunities arising from the weakened allies and their need to rebuild.
Nothing to do with helping them: it was always about profiting from their malaise.
At the expense of Britain and other European countries.
@neiluk4109 Not if you are taught in the US....it's been state propaganda as deeply ingrained as in China.
Romania got unified after WW1. And wealthier.
A shame Churchill traded us to URSS for Greece after WWII.
@ginghinaandrei5013 Not really.
Historically speaking, Greece is the cradle of Democracy and our Western Civilization.
That ought to count for something!
Romanian culture cannot lay claim to such renown, and your newest exports are really fermenting the stereotypes of welfare leeches.
So No, Churchill chose correctly, you have a long way ahead if you want to tackle the rampant corruption in your country.
WE made Greece deal with that some years ago
Greetings from 🇩🇪
The trade Bazooka was made to counter China. At the time no one considered that it may be necessary to use against the US.
To sit there and say US has loads of money is ignorant, US as more debt than any other Country
When people say usa is dumb its not an insult its a logical conclusion
There is a significant difference between being in debt and having money.
The US DOES have a significant amount of money. Raised, by their debt.
The question is, are they going to invest that money in something that will make the interest worthwhile, or are they just treading water slowly adding weights to their ankles.
That's what many US Americans don't understand! They live off debt!
I would urge you to watch the original Stephen Woodford video all the way through; and then have a think about your comment.
@AP-RSITheir populations live off of debt and they have been indoctrinated to think thats the only way, while sending taxes to pay for another states free healthcare and education but they pay top dollar. Its substantially more odd
Now that you are becoming informed about the rest of the world, i don't think you can call yourself a typical average American anymore.
Part of their tragedy is how they are kept ignorant over how awful it is there.
MY partner was American, now she's British, and has more rights, freedoms and happiness.
America is so good, in SO many ways. But...
When we had our first and second child there were complications, we had every doctor in the hospital attend, hours of emergency surgery and weeks of intensive care.
All free to us at point of use.
Some friends of ours in the states had similar issues at exactly the same time and after their 500K health insurance ran out they lost everything.
And the gun crime and insane gun ownership.
And the shootings in schools
And your terrible police.
And the lack of workplace rights.
And your awful education system.
And the poverty and lack of concern for the least well off and the disadvantaged.
Was a lovely to visit occasionally, but always pleased to leave. Now even if her ageing and ill health parents (they refused vaccines, then got covid and had to hospitalised) die, I cant and wont go back.
It's not safe, especially if you express opinions against the current leader. Like North Korea.
Best of luck America, I hope you sort yourself out before you tear yourself, and possibly the world, apart.
I remember being a child and America was somewhere I want to visit. I've got friends and family there, and I wouldn't dream of stepping foot in a fascist country.
You are never safe.
What people call "safe" is actually living in fear and likely masked in denial and pride. There's nothing safe about that.
Nor does danger have to be the problem. If you're not dangerious then you're weak. You can't protect anything then.
I'm not an American, I am a Canadian. I feel sorry for you Brits - You don't even have free speech anymore. RIP Magna Carta
europe are freeloaders. stand by and do nothing. pathetic
@taramaforhaikido7272 So are you dangerous? Are you saying that you don't live "in denial and pride"? In what frame of mind or emotional state do you spend your days? I should stop trotting out vacuous generalisations as though they were fundamental truths.
We have a saying in the Netherlands;
Respect/succes/trust arrives by foot, but leaves on horseback.
💯 facts!!!! ❤🇨🇦
Love this as so so true 😢
Love that... So true
the Netherlands is the only country in Europe that has an important high tech company. the Chinese are trying to steal that technology.
USA needs to remember that they are also the largest debtor nation in the world. If all of USA creditors called in their debt the picture would've very, very different
Carney and Macron come from the world of finance while Trump comes out of the golden trash can.
I thought trump came from the world of bankrupt casinos.
And bankrupt farms, you can make a lot of money by bankrupting farms, I think it was called carpetbagging.
🤣
It’s not real gold. It’s actually iron pyrites - aka fools gold.
Well said😂
Macron comes from the pitts of hell, a miserable human is still better than the devil himself.
I'd rather have my country become a dictatorship than undergo slow destruction. France was richest and most powerful under empires and monarchies, at that.
Amazing how ONE idiot can ruin the lives of over 350 MILLION people.
Even more amazing they let him, as the idiot majority are brainless cultists or just don't give a shit. Meanwhile Trump uses the presidency to fill his pockets with his stable coin corruption tool and the USA doesn't even realize it.
well, the majority of those people whose lives are getting ruined apparently voted for this one idiot.
That one idiot didn’t start it all, he’s just the symptom of an eroding system and society.
Congress has the power to stop him
One Idiot supported by half of the US citizen.
Was nützt es alles in Militär zu investieren wenn euer Gesundheitswesen zum kotzen ist und der Rest miserabel ist? Nichts
NATO doesn't "stop" if the US invades Greenland. There are 31 other countries that would honour the treaty. Three of which are nuclear powers.
You think so? Are you an American?
If the U.S were preparing to advance on Greenland there’d be an army of diverse nations waiting for them. Period. Though he doesn’t realize the huge mistake… it doesn’t affect the disaster that will follow
Correct. Even at the threat of invasion, eight European Countries immediately sent a Tripwire force to Greenland. Any attempt to take Greenland will trigger war.
They can't even beat the British in war games. If the gloves come off. The entire USA navy would be an aquarium.
I’ve a lot of American friends and have visited 23/50 states so I’m not a hater but it’s scary how many have the mindset that European countries are living on the dark ages, are weak and need US pity. We don’t. Despite the wealth and major tech companies in the US, a lot of what I’ve seen there is behind the times and average people have no idea how much they miss out on thanks to a long established system of insulation so the people at the top keep you down but grateful
You need to update your eyes on tech. Those american tech companies are largely staffed by immigrant engineers. Indian, Chineese, Pakistan, European... you name it. I've visitied them. Didn't meet an American Engineer.
@yottaforce It only takes time to create own european technological base. Brains and money are already here. More indipendency would be great.
It is amazing you have a system with s president who is ready to destroy the relationship with other countries and you can do nothing about it. The US will never recover from this. Everyone will only think and plan 4 years ahead as they don’t know who the next maniac will sit in the White House. It is a lack of trust in the American people.
yes , exactly , before they ride of Trump {if they don't elect him again} US thanks to Trump go back into Wild West - i mean after EU use 'economical bazooka' they literally go into isolation and back straight into Wild West again - they already have a lot of homeless people , so after bazooka well will be much much worse.
They needed to starting over and build a new Constituion!!!!
Sick that one men has too much power and destroy his own people
Europe is scrambling to detach their digital tech, it will take a while but it needs to be done if there’s no peace and friendship anymore
"A while" is more like a very long time. Still worthwhile, we should invest more in our own tech companies. And we need our banks not to be reliant on Visa and Mastercard.
@MrHenrikAnderssonI heard they’re integrating a bunch of national payment systems into a European one (the Dutch ideal for instance) as soon as 2027, and that the digital euro might even make this system obsolete if it becomes reality. But big projects often get delayed of course..
@Lisdodde Sounds good. Yes, we are very good at disagreeing in Europe. Too many times over dumb stuff like prestige.
Denmark has gotten fed up with Windows 11 and decided to switch the government to linux. The moved was completed late summer 2025.
The main problem is not software, but hardware. CPUs and GPUs are controlled by Intel, AMD and Nvidia, all American companies. Europe had a booming computer industry, but we threw it away. We even sold the British company ARM to Japan. Now we need to start up again in order to not rely on others and we need to start up chip production again.
What if ASML don't deliver chips to the USA anymore, and make a huge deal with china, just to piss off that orange dictator? 😅
If Europe is Batman, then the US are not Superman, but Homelander
Great comparison xD
I had to look up Homelander, but agree. Homelander does die in the end. I skipped to the end! Sorry if its not aired yet.
I really admire your open mindedness Tyler. And I don’t get how Americans don’t hear these things.
Who would you think is telling them?
@stephenlee5929 We in Europa get it in some why. But who is telling us? I don't know, but somehow we read a little here, hear a debatt there and read something about it an other time.
It's sad that the american media report so little of international things...
America is good at telling tall tales and beating their chest.
Republicans. Democrats normally are more normal.
so arm Ukraine yourself and quit whining
Time for the civilised world to step up
We need a video on The Great Wealth Transfer. And how WW2 helped America become a major player.
And another one to show how 1 man lost it all
What americans don't know is that these are not threats. It is already in motion. EU reduces buying American military hardware. EU is working on its own financial system. EU made deals with MERCOSUR and India to reduce dependency on US. American bonds are being sold. Gold is demanded to be returned.
This is what is already in motion, but the EU does not act tough with sound bites and harsh tweets, so Americans don't realize this is happening
It can take up to 2 years before the MERCOSUR deal gets ratified. Austria, France, Hungary, Ireland, and Poland voting against it, and Belgium abstaining. Now it's up to ECJ first.
mercosur is dead. the French will veto it a thousand times over
@richardturner3464 Always the French...
America is in all actuality bankrupt
Not America.
Just the US.
It's not there yet, but it's doing everything it can to become bankrupt.
And morally bankrupt as well
"Don't bite the hand that feeds you"
Who feeds who??
@atlantik770 Europe feeds America.. the loans.
@atlantik770 Europe feeds America, as it always did. If America didn’t intervene in Europe’s wars twice, America would be lost far away in any technology.
No moon landing, no military technologies, no electronic, no atomic technologies, no computer technologies, no internet, no pharmaceutical industries and technologies, an so on.
Everything came from Europe, modern science, engineering, material, chemicals, etc.
@V1BE5_Official Exactly, we OWN major portion of the loans US has taken to finance living beyond their means. WE OWN THE LOANS AT SIGNIFICANT MEASURE - and we are losing the trust thant American government is capable of handiling it's own end of the deal, being trust worthy for it, capable of returning us with the value of what we invest in and ABOVE ALL - that your populations will not vote in efen more complete ignorant and unstable - unfit to lead leaders who clearly have no glue about how to manage global politics and thus ensure the stability of the finances required to maintain the system. We would be in our right of seeking to cash in and demand the value of the investment, like depth is cut out of a company going bancrupt. And trust me, I did study enough busines and communications to say this - there exists always that line, when those who own your depth will come seeking for the pay, with interest. What the hell you think an american loaning entity would do to a client, which might go totally mental at making up lies about them, insulting them and out right trying to claim parts of the busines they OWN as theirs. Now usually very few people even crazy ones, do not go that far - but I am pretty sure some examples of folks gone totally mentally absurd could be found from the various legal cases that have gone through your American courts. And that madness is what we see - that clear unreliability of US as a worth while investment. Not for finaces, not for innovation, not for migration, not for bringing in businesses or industries - simply, and especially, not for handing out any more coin for your extremely poorly led and very poorly managed a nation, which does not even know where it's true finances apparently originate from. And here you have been talking trash about Euro-poor and your allies not investing enough to NATO - so financing your national spending is not financing the alliance with you. Thank you for the clarification - we need not invest more to keep you afloat.
@cyclotronbxl i know. you are right, now the usa will learn how it works!
The world survived for 1000s of years before the u.s even became a country.
It would take some hurt but it can be done again
and Germany and Russia were such positive examples of European culture.
@richardturner3464 You know that the US is an example of European culture too, right? Democracy is a European thing. It comes from Greece. The inventive, make things efficent way of thinking comes from Europe. In the middle and older ages, inventions which were exported to Europe were always upgraded and made more efficient by europeans. Sure it was inspired by our infighting, but every other nation has similar tendencies.
China, Japan, Mongolia, Turks, Egyiptians all have their ups and downs in history. The only different thing about Europe is that unlike any others, the europeans influenced the whole world. Both culturally and economically. From America to the far east. While other only affected their own or close by regions. Hence it is usually more known than let's say Chinese or Japanese history.
Was das für Auswirkungen hat werdet ihr sehr bald sehen

@saschaweber8030Ne, die gehen bis zum Ende. . Aber,?
For me as a European the “greenland thing” was the moment the USA crossed the Rubicon. In other words trust was permanente shattered.
For me it happened earlier with his threats against Canada.
We owe Canada so much for their steadfast stand against the Fascist menace in WW2.
Term 1, trump crossed Rubicon.
Reelection, is where the country did. For me.
A large part of americans don't understand how tarifs work...so geopolitic... 😃😃😃
When trump slaps tariffs on Canada, Canada just increases the price of the products to make up for the cost of the tariffs. Canada has been doing this since Trump implemented the tariffs. Im sure other countries are doing the same 😂
@Peppers_007 That's not how Tariffs work though. Since China don't pay the tariffs US introduce, the US consumer does, China(Or canada) might introduce Tariffs on US products imported but that's another story. THE EXPORTING COUNTRY DO NOT PAY THE TARIFFS - the end user does.
@olejorgensen1964well I know people who import/export to America and they said that's exactly what they do. They just increase the price. There's even a video of a guy explaining that to an American last year when trump implemented the tariffs
@Peppers_007 Not trying to be a dic. but when you use terms like " import/export to America" you are not being very clear about this topic. And the fact that Canada (importes) just increase the price of Trump Tariffs - well its the other way around. US firms might/will increase the price on goods on account of the Tarrif introduced by US (hurting the US consumers). You are clearly confused.
@olejorgensen1964so we agree the tariffs hurt the consumer which hurts America
Witnessing America today is like watching a child repeatedly hitting himself on the face with a hammer. You wanna help, but he's also holding a grenade in his other hand so you keep your distance...
Europe,don't trust you now
don't think we ever will.
Britain hasn't trusted them since ww2
The us citizens are now realizing that the guy everyone has been comparing to hitler for the past 8 years is not a good guy...
Honestly, not to throw everyone into the same melting pot, but that is probably the favourite part of him for some of them. For some because they're racists and for others because they don't trust their education system to begin with and assume everything is to be taken with skepticism, including everything they've been taught about Hitler.
That comparison is still stupid though. Trump has his faults, plenty of them, but comparing him to Hitler is still very much insane. Even with all the damage he has done, he isn't even begun to get close to Hitler's level.
I hate the whole calling everyone I disagree with nazis and Hitler rhetoric, because it doesn't solve anything it just creates more problems. It is a political tool used to, ironically, do what actual nazis did, to dehumanize a group of people, making it easier to justify violent, maybe even lethal action against people. Whenever someone starts calling Trump or any of his supporters nazis, Hitler, fascists, it's basically just them wanting those people to end up like Charlie Kirk did, executed for their political views.
That is why no matter how much I might politically disagree with someone, I would refrain from using labels like that against them, because even if I think their way is stupid sticking a label on them that could get them killed is still not okay and never will be.
@mohaa556 it is not stupid at all , Europe still remembers very well what a fascist looks like so calling an entire continent stupid for remembering just highlights your lack of understanding
Better late than never 🤷🏻♀️
@andrewtims9524 It is stupid. Anyone genuinely believing Trump and Hitler are on the same level is beyond delusional.
If you do actually remember what that fascism was like, than you should know full well that what goes on in the US right now is nowhere near close to that.
So frankly those who think it's the same are the real ones lacking historical knowledge and understanding here and I'm saying this as a european myself and one that comes from a country that felt the evils of both the nazis and the soviets and I can assure you both of those were orders of magnitude worse than anything going on in the US right now.
Printing money and accumulating huge debt while making arms manufacturers very wealthy
and they feed their rich . All of it is to get more cash for someone not for citizens . That's how it works there. Bill Gates>millions of people.
Just a brief reminder: As of early 2026, the population of Europe is approximately 744 million, USA 341 million Russia 143.5 to 146 million
And china 1.400 million people!
@elenaserra8900 China's population has been in decline for several years (even decades) as the "single child policy" has taken effect through the child-bearing generations. In addition to "selective abortion" - no doubt fuelled by that single-child policy - giving rise to a gender imbalance with many more males than females, which will obviously affect the future numbers. Also figures provided by regional governments, whose central grants depend on population numbers, have been corrupt. India's population has exceeded China's for some time....
no wonder europe's high tech is worthless. bad data
@MihkelMaripuu-v3u EU ≠ Europe! EU = 450 million people!
It took Britain about fifty years to go from the most powerful country in the world to being the “sick man of Europe.” The collapse of the Soviet Union was even faster than that. So Americans would be very unwise to think they are immune from losing their superpower status. Both China and the EU are waiting in the wings.
It took the UK 60 years to pay off loans from the usa after the war. Hardly the workings of most powerful country in the world. Werner Von Braun handed that title to the usa, Stalin took his spoils for second place. "Sick man of Europe" ? I shit on homeland more than most, but f me if my grandparents and their parents would have preferred to complain about some rubber duckies filled with people fleeing war than whether or not the tank or boat they were in was going to get blown up. Or if the family house had survived the night while they slept with the neighbours in a bomb shelter down the road.
I think Europe a India and China are the next superpowers. Also Japan.
@brinjoness3386 In 1910 Britain was unquestionably the most powerful country in the world, with an empire which covered a quarter of the Earth’s surface. Fifty years later that was no more.
"Sick man of Europe" was an appelation Britain enjoyed during the sixties and seventies, due to its economic problems.
@lesliedellow1533oh shit, india, Pakistan, zambia, Zimbabwe Australia, new Zealand, et al gained independence. And rightly so.
@brinjoness3386 So?
Too many of you have been convinced by Trump that the world has been "ripping you off", whereas the USA has thrown it's weight around for years. The US has also interfered with the elections in other countries whilst also monitoring the veracity of elections in others. No wonder you question your own. The hypocrisy of America knows no bounds, literally.
usa has thrown it's weight around for years aggressively. general american population thinks usa is the greatest military power, witch they are at the moment, but fail to understand that they will not be able to afford fuel for those 11 carriers ( i exaggerate but that's the idea ).
About 150 years ago, much of the world believed Britain would rule forever …
World wont allow Britain to fail, London or UK is the Switzerland of the wealthy who likes to play.
@james6901 💯
In 1916, Ireland, then under British rule, had no army, yet we took on the mightiest British Empire that ruled almost half of the world, and won won our independence. Like Ukraine, its not the size of your enemy that matters its are you willing to die a free man or a slave. You cannot beat a people who have nothing left to lose.
@batcollins3714 the size of the Ukrainian army is comparable to the size of the Russian army in Ukraine. You have no clue what you're talking about.
@james6901 aylmao
that's why the City of London is bracing for impact with BRICS streamlining their financial systems in China and Brazil and the upcoming EuroClearing?
this is a phenomenon called post-imperial depression, at least Spain got over it but I see the gamons are still gamoning nicely😊

Yesterday i heard the usual, “Chicago” the greatest city in the WORLD!
Do they have free health care?
Police officers that walk around and interact with people? ( in a nice way )
Best air quality?
Isn't the windy city the hub of black on black crime ?! 🧐
Interesting 😨
When they say 'the greatest' they mean the biggest 😀 Greatest country in the world, greatest army in the world, even greatest people in the world
What Americans don't understand is the growing resistance to Americans within Europe. It took years for the Germans to regain some respect after World War II. The same sentiment toward Americans prevails today.
Europe must defend itself. so simple
fantastic. Europe defends itself. limited trade. you go your own way
20:00 Europe has a "trade bazooka" that was originally created as a response to the economic threat from China.
The reason this is an actual threat is because it can be used with a majority vote, not a unanimous vote. So even Victor Orban isn't able to block it.
For what its worth your one of the good ones. keep it up. Salute from Norway.
Just wonder what happens to all those military units if Europe, middle east, far east all decide to close the US bases. I also heard that many join the military in order to get covered for health care. A country that can't provide health care in preference to more and more military. If many countries pull out of buying your bonds and military equipment what happens then. How much of that military would go to war for free, how would you sustain your arms manufactures. Europe will uncouple over time, the betrayal won't be forgotten. Even when trump is gone who's to say you won't elect another trump in future..
Canada really needs to opt out of the F-35s and go with Sweden's offer
The funny thing is: the USA is already quietly handing over a few bases back to European host countries this week. Frankly, not a bad thing in my book and I'm European.
Today I asked myself the same question and consulted Google's AI. I learned a lot about geopolitics, including that US bases are collaborative, the host country has full access control, Americans have family ties with many of the host countries, and they work together. Furthermore, the most important thing I learned is that military personnel swear allegiance to the US Constitution, not obedience to their president, meaning they can choose not to obey him if he goes rogue. Greetings from Spain.
@djcodytoro If you haven't figured Out that the AIs are American-centric, because the developpers are, you haven't learned anything
@lynnm6413 I know, you're right to be suspicious, but you have to know what kind of AI is being used. I am a computer professional, and "Google's AI" isn't artificial intelligence; they've called it that because it's trendy. It's simply a textual interpretation of a search with a complete, specific, and precise question within the Big Data of public websites, and that's how I use it. It searches press websites, official bodies, and reliable sources, verifies information across different websites that match, and draws a comprehensive conclusion. In my case, I focused on the beautiful city of Rota, where one of the two Spanish bases is located. Local official press reports specifically mention that Spaniards and Americans have married and started families together, that the base is managed from the host country, the division of powers and responsibilities, and other things that make an "inside attack" impossible. Besides, Google is a company that has openly opposed Trump and is trembling because a large portion of its customers are European, and without us (even though we think they're immensely rich), Google would disappear.
The world no hate this country...think about this...No tourism, no contract and no business with the USA! That is the world`s answer! The USA will reap the hatred they sow now! No one can trust this country!
The thing is the Americans aren't giving us a choice. We can't go there even if we want to and we can't trade with it efficiently any more. It is not a boycott or spite they literally made it impossible to do that safely or proftability in most cases.
@archvaldor exact, greetings from germany
@archvaldorCanadian here. It's mostly spite for us
@willwallinger5932 YOU are welcome!!!!!
@atlantik770for what exactly?
I suspect most Brits also don’t understand this level of detail, but the problem you have is that plenty of us do. The disunited states of america have never been a very reliable ally, when they choose not to be. For example, in WW2 the British nuclear weapons program was far more advanced than the US. We agreed to work together on the Manhattan Project, with many British scientists working alongside their American colleagues. Once the bomb had been developed the Yanks kicked the Brits out, (McMahon Act) and refused any further cooperation, allowing the USSR to obtain nuclear weapons before the UK, a supposed ally. Thanks guys! There is a long history of this, q.v. Nixon blowing up Breton Woods by unilaterally ending the dollar / gold link, in part to pay for the Vietnam War. The USA were late for WW1, late for WW2, supported and funded terrorism in the UK (the IRA through NORAID etc), betrayed us over Suez, flaky during the Falklands war, dragged us into an illegal war in Iraq, need I go on? You speculate about a path back to redemption, and of course there is. The problem is the USA are not on that path, and the damage done already is only just starting to work through the system. Invisibly, behind the scenes, the tectonic plates have shifted, and it will take years and massive effort to rebuild the broken trust. When the USA gets back on the right path they likely won’t be a super power anymore, because they will have just gone through another civil war.
Wow I love history,I’ve definitely got to give you a follow
I visited London in 2023. it will be londonstan in 2043. get out.
@richardturner3464that’s rich if your visiting from America,I was in nyc and it’s worst than England
Brilliant historical facts! 👍
@richardturner3464Londons great tbh. Very safe, lots of cultures.
Fun fact - the anti coercion instrument was build to target China... The fact that it is now discussed in relations to US is... Something I would have not believed possible just two years ago.
u.s. military is not a strength.. it is a fkn buisness :P
Not even a business - the economy is based on the military-industrial complex.
10:50 As a European (German) my impression is that the USA want to essentially turn us into a bunch of permanent Vassals or Spherelings.
We're starting to unite and the current US dministration is obviously not interested in equal allies.
We have been vassals for a long time. but Trump opened our eyes Leadership is earned and given not claimed by threatening and bullying
It certainly sounds like American is demanding tributes from vassal states. Even the Romans were consistent in the consequences of Barbarians not paying their tributes. Can’t really say the same of this American administration.
They seem unconcerned that their president’s impulsiveness is now comparable to a toddler and waaaay past the early stage of a dementia patient. They see that he is erratic. But for some reason they don’t seem to understand that behaviour is now because, much like staying awake in meetings, Trump can nolonger control it. He hasn’t the capacity. Medically, he doesn’t have the capacity b to control his own behaviour and emotions.
the Germans are part of the 1% club along with spain. Italy and Canada.
I actually thought a while ago that he wanted to start a war in Europe. Trying to turn us against each other. My friends laughed at me, you who may be reading this may laugh aswell, but I am glad all have stood together, not only Europe, UK but other countries aswell.
In 2025 Switzerland held 310 Billion USD in bonds, primarily the Swiss National Bank. Switzerland is small, but the 10th largest holder of US bonds. Just sayin....
If Americans what to know what Europeans can do when they get moving, watch "The World at War" from the 70s.
Mark Carney said this in Davos, when he talked about the source of the system's power being the source of its fragility as well. This is what he meant.
Carney is taking the lead on resisting Trumps bullying tactics, after the threats of invasion, annexation and 'jokes' about the 51st State - Canada is already pivoting away, and a lot of other trading partners are slowly doing the same - trying not to cause massive damage to their own economies in the process
Norwegians trust in the USA is down to 21%. It means that almost 80% doesn’t trust your government anymore.
Jeg er en av de 0,000018% med null tillit til dagens USA
people trust what they are told to trust
@clem_chretYes, if you lives, or want to live in a totalitarian regime. That’s not me.
@oh515like eu taking decisions over people's will ?
@cle@clem_chret They represent the majority in each member state. The EU is a coalition, so dissent is normal-just like opposition in any democracy. Some decisions will always go against individual preferences, but democracy is still the best way to reflect the majority’s will. If policies go too far, voters can change course at the next election. And EU membership is voluntary: countries that believe it does more harm than good can choose a Brexit-style exit.
Why does US need to spend so much money on military when it has no direct threats from its two neighbours, Canada and Mexico? US wants to be the boss of the world, bu the world rejects it... thats the bottom line.
It believes it is constantly under direct threat from its - often forgot - third and fourth neighbours: Russia and Cuba.
One of the traditional roles have in the past been to patrol the oceans and make trade safe at choke points. We all have benefited from that.
And the cold war was a crazy time as well when it came to military arms races. They don't have bases in any country that doesn't want them there, I believe S Korea is fairly happy about US presence.
Bingo. All threats have always been internal anyway (with the help of a certain small country that remotely pilots it). 9/11, Kennedy, even the recent Trump assassination attempt.
The rest of the world doesn't care about the US, one way or another. We have our own problems to solve. Main character syndrome is real.
@mystisith3984 Of course it's the Jews, their pesky space lasers and weather machines.
@PertanX "It believes" I think is the most important pat of wha you said. Cuba is not a serious threat to the USA, certainly not in the post-USSR situation. Russia is having such a hard time dealing with Ukraine that it's laughable to think it could do anything to the USA. The USA would be in no more danger seriously if it cut its military expenditure by half. No one is messing with a country with nuclear weapons - that's why no one has "dealt with" North Korea all this time.
The fact Americans still accept what Trump say is insane.
Tyler going " Thank god Trump came out and said he would not invade Denmark "... The fact Americans fall for it over and over is just insane. It does not matter what Trump say, but what he do.
Just yesterday or today.. Around the 13th of February. Trump said on national tv that Greenland will join the US, they will want to join the US. The US is working to get Greenland.
And since he can't buy it, and Greenland do not want to be American. It will not happen unless some other action is taken.
But no, demented Trump has not backed down on Greenland. His ego and stupidity is to dumb for that.
The average American has had a very rounded education and now knows F all about practically everything.
Not true. The average American gets a very spotty education or not much of one at all. Especially the Evangelical nutjobs who take their children out of school and raise them on only the New Testament of the Bible. 🤢🙀🫣😜
They have a very smooth-brained education
what is a high tech company in Europe? a luxury handbag
@richardturner3464Are you sure? I will give you ASML and their extreme ultraviolet lithography. The most complicated machine ever created and responsible for all the chips in your devices. 😂
Without it no advanced computers and no AI. Sit down.
@klaus2913 as you use microsoft operating systems, intel chips, google search engines, apple smartphones, facebook etc. europe is a one hit wonder. never mind AI. europe will never catch up
More and more business is already being settled more in euros than in dollars
Close to the Norwegian border is the biggest nuclear arsenal in the world. They are directed to USA, not Norway. You really need our intelligens. Why sacrifice relationship with us?
Live 75 miles to norway and working in norway
Brought this sort of thing up with an American the other day. Canada LITERALLY guards America's northern gates, the direction the missiles will come from if they fly. Without us you don't know that the launch has happened until the missiles are already out of the atmosphere. They are threatening the guy guarding them, it's insane
The USA is not the friend they have always tried to say they are.
Any close look at history shows this.
Today, the only european people who trust in USA (Trump's USA) is the fascist part of the population. And they often love Vladimir Putin too.
yeah no that's not true, and not only I bet you can't even tell anything they say is fascist, but I bet you can't even tell me how Trump is one, as per the definition of fascism, he isn't one.
Btw the fascists are the leftist in power (the EU) who are attacking free speech by demanding control over banning posts they don't like and fine media platform that don't want to do that, they will resort to any rethoric (like calling other fascists) to stop the opposition, you are violent (look at antifa and what is going on in Italy at Milan) and will attack somebody as soon as they disagree in the slightest with you, they just passed a regulation that will consider trans women (men) as women (utter nonsense) that will endanger women even more by letting men enter their private spaces.
You guys think right wing are extemists and nazis because they want actual borders to be respected and not to be crossed by any illegal criminal immaginable, because they don't want to import so called "engineers and doctors" who can't even use an elevator and all they do is taking our taxpayer money, commit crimes and r*ape our women and children.
Lastly, how are right wingers national socialists (nazis) and fascists, when they want the governament out of the life of citizens, or at least want the governament to be the least involved in their private lives, which is contrary to both nazism and fascism? that is actually something you leftists want, that aligns perfectly with both of them.
Oh really? In Germany today you can still go to prison for offending a politician or expressing an unpopular opinion. Opposition political parties are spied on, persecuted and threatened with imprisonment. There is no right to bear arms, there is no democracy and there is no freedom of speech in Germany. That kind of thing is very common throughout Europe.
Meanwhile, under Trump you have freedom of speech, democracy, and the right to bear arms. Things that he and the right fully support, unlike the left. So tell me, who are the ones that are truly like the little mustache Germans from 1930s and 40s Germany?
I like Putin, he cares for his people and the survival of his country. When Russia was surrounded by NATO missiles, ready to tear Russia down so being able to profit from their oil and natural resources (sounds like Venezuela, and Cuba, and Irak, and Libia, and Syria,.. and other many countries, right?), well, Putin defended the Russian people that was being bombed in Dombas, Ukraine, and stood Up against the whole NATO. Putin is also a clever economical manager, he rescued Russia from the ruin It has fallen since USSR Fall. He knows one country can't live on exorbitant debt. He was born and raised very poor, not some billionaire,he is an Orthodox Christian, believes in God and goes to Church, has forbidden satanic 2030 Agenda, and promotes family, and motherland.
That's not what they've told you from the overwhelming Zio western war propaganda, right?😅
And about the USA, I believe right now it's under massive sata nic attack, coming from their Zio élites (Epstein files).
Opinions are one thing, attempting
to revive fascism and nazism is
a crime in most EU Constitutions,
except in Hungary and other few extreme righ wing Nations that
are hanging on to the EU by a thread because, like the US, they
have mostly fine people but stupid,
lunatic rulers. As for the right to
bear arms, originally meant to
defend Dermocracy, it has then mutated into a fetishist mental
illness affecting largely anti-
democratic individuals. I spent
20 years in the US and none of my
friends, of all backgrounds, owned
a gun and never even got in a fight
@CorneliusTaylor-s1u Yes.. I was playing with my band a few years ago in Germany and got really horrified, how bad immigration can take over the good deeds. I guess the German government still wants to apologize something that their gran-grandfathers did 90 years ago. We got attacked at the hotel door by a guy from north Africa, for just having a blond hair. Police later told us, that he pulled off criminal charges against us for a hate crime, because we had pushed him while running inside to the hotel. I'm pretty glad that I didn't have to return Germany for a trial after all...
To recover trust the US has to change its constitution to prevent future toddler-presidents. As long as your next prez is a potential child-king nobody is going to trust you
They already have it in their constitution. It's right there in the 2nd amendment.
Newsome, the corruptest of the corrupt.
Great
@lynnm6413Taking that at face value, are you aware that it just reinforces Kristian point ?
So, from a Red perspective, Blue are corrupted.
From, a Blue perspective that's the Red who are the ones corrupted.
Seen from across the pond, whoever is right or wrong has no relevance whatsoever, that pathetic childish blame game isn't going to restore a modicum of trust in the foreseeable future.
In Netherlands we have had a celebration for liberation from Nazi Germany that people people fly the USA flag and most people were positive towards Americans but now there are many that say they will not fly the USA flag and public opinion has become mostly negative towards America .
Denmark used to have the perhaps biggest 4th of July celebration outside of the US. Something huge was planned this year because it's the 250th celebration. However it has now been completely cancelled because Danes now find it inappropriate to celebrate that day.
Also despite what the Americans might say, it was the British liberating Denmark during WW2. It was a super peaceful liberation as the Germans said something like "we will surrender if you show up" so it wasn't even a fighting liberation. It just sort of happened because of fighting elsewhere.
Most fighting in Denmark actually took place after the Germans surrendered. Stalin really wanted the island of Bornholm, so he bombed it around the clock to get the Germans to surrender to him, but the German commander refused and said he would only surrender to the British. He kept his word and Stalin failed to conquer the island. It's my impression that it's a very little known fact that the Germans actually fought for defending Denmark from USSR even after Germany gave up their own claim on Denmark. It's not the narrative following the popular impression of the end of WW2.
@Thegoodthebadandthefleshtuber Yeh I know mate and I know for sure that Europeans have more honor and loyalty than the USA , and I hope we in the Europe will get our shit together so we wont need the USA , we must protect each other against any threat .
I think we celebrate the Canadians the most here in the Netherlands
@Angie-i3j6g True but close to Oosterbeek is mostly the USA flag and British as well .
@Orderbreakerofnewera well I think we’re thankful for all the brave men who have put their lives on the line to help us. The only annoying thing is that people in the us seem to think they did it single handed.
I really appreciate that you understand, and share your understanding of, the ramifications of what is happening. Thank you.
I love how Americans still call Germans Nazis because nobody stood up and did anything against Hitler whilst „a lot of Americans don’t agree with trump“ and yet just sit there and watch and don’t do anything about it. While the whole world is begging you to stop this madness
Hmm even with all their guns they don’t stand up and do anything.
Cowardly people at heart.
@user-iw4xb3lh5r yeah, they are THE PATRIOTS of the universe, everywhere flags and USA USA USA calls and then, when their land need his "patriots" so where they are. There is a job to be done. But it's always the same, patriotism is the little brother of national socialism. That is why no one should be proud of the country into which they were involuntarily thrown, but rather of all the different people who make the construct “country” what it is in the first place.
They are Patriots until it affects them personally. They will wave flags and in the end they are cowards.
I mean, they killed Abraham Lincon and J.F.K among others. Killing the good guys in/with power/influnce seems like a tradition for the US... :(
please look up godwin's law.
No free healthcare, rubbish
transport ( if any ) bad food
gun's and so much more.
The trouble is Tyler, a great deal of Americans believe that money goes to Protecting us in Europe , which is total crap, Europe has given far more help to USA than we have received. In terms of weapons ,all that Europe receives ;"is paid for". .
Yeah, the way the figures are presented are misleading (I think on purpose) and have many Americans believing that the United States pays 66% of NATO’s costs which is incorrect. The U.S. contributes roughly 15% to NATO’s direct common budget, with the remaining 85% covered by European members and Canada. That 15% represents well under 1% of total U.S. military spending (and even less in terms of US GDP). The 66% figure refers instead to the size of the U.S. defense budget compared with the combined defense spending of all NATO allies, which is a separate issue from NATO’s shared operating costs.
I love how you put your own country under the microscope and acknowledge the reality of current events and the consequences that quite likely will be far reaching and lasting but you do it calmly and with a smile. You have a lovely smile and a great sense of humour I enjoy your videos. Love and peace from Wales 🏴
