China , Russia have strategic interest to protect. The EU , i'm not so sure what it is protecting, and reading this law it's really hard to tell if we are supposed to have some kind of advantage now. It seems more like an extreme, wrist-slapping attempt of its leftist lawmakers.
- TheForumTroll 8y agoLeftist? The EU? Now I have heard it all!
- Mirioron 8y agoAre they not? Isn't a significant portion of the EU on a ~50% tax burden?
- ionised 8y agoNope.
- Fnoord 8y agoDepends on your PoV. From my [summed up] European's PoV Obama was very right wing and Trump is veryyy right wing. From an American's PoV that PoV lacks nuance. So I generally refrain from using those simplistic terms when potentially talking to Americans; gets discussion nowhere. Here's the data on political groups (coalitions) in the EP. [1] Claiming these are "left wing" is.. well.. clearly US centric PoV, but also overly simplistic and bifurcating. Calling Europe left-wing, knowing that Europeans are going to read it and reply is also fuel for a flamewar. Hence why I linked some data to put things in perspective.

- Mirioron 8y agoAs a European as well I disagree with Obama being right wing. I can't even fathom what constitutes left wing in that case that isn't socialism.
