The European Union can't fight everyone at once - we need partners, hence trying to mend fences with MERCOSUR, toning down the struggle for human rights in China and tolerating India's authoritarian drift. For now the utmost priorities are defeating Russia and achieving actual strategic autonomy by decoupling from the traitorous USA. So yes, better BYD than Tesla.
- tonyhart7 9mo ago"decoupling from the traitorous USA" wow, seems like US must pull from the NATO fast
- ulfw 9mo agoNobody but the new US is threatening to pull from NATO
- tonyhart7 9mo agoUS threatening to pull from NATO because EU didn't even have proper military readiness that's why we have russo-ukrainian war right now, if EU is strong enough to counter russian, that wouldn't happen

- okanat 9mo agoIf Russia wanted to invade Ukraine, it wouldn't matter. Ukraine isn't NATO. US was involved in Bosnia and Kuwait. If they pleased they would be involved in Ukraine. But US got the fascist mind virus. It WAS US policy to play the protector role for EU and other West Aligned nations. Such that they traded with US and bought weapons from the US. If US pulls out, they will be replaced by other players in the game.

- fragmede 9mo agoWhat other players in the North American Treaty Organization are you thinking of that are waiting on the benches to pick up the slack? We're looking at the same world map, right?
- simianparrot 9mo agoAs a European (but from Norway, so not entirely beholden to the unelected EU overlords) how in the _world_ do you get to the mindset that the _USA_ are traitorous!? How does this happen? Is it spending so much time online on social media in bubbles where you get convinced of drivel like this?
- rswail 9mo agoThe actions and words of the current US Administration are explicitly anti-EU and anti-NATO. The publicly released sections of the latest US National Security Strategy and sourced comments indicate that the US is looking to interfere in EU solidarity and its actions around Greenland are specifically anti-NATO, which is an alliance based on security of internationally recognized boundaries and resolution of disputes by peaceful means. Members of NATO can't rely on the US commitment to the alliance, and members of the EU can't rely on the US commitment to their own political arrangements as democracies. The trade war that the US has with its immediate neighbors also shows that even agreements made by the previous Trump administration (USMCA) are not binding on the US. Why should anyone trust anything that the US says?
- simianparrot 9mo agoThey’re anti-unelected tyrants in Brussels. So am I as a Norwegian, and we’re not full members. They’re anti-censorship, something that’s rampant in the UK and Germany among others. They’re for the _core_ principles of the EU The trade “war” is pressuring without kinetic force, yes. And our populations need the help, because our governments are spineless.
- fnfs2000 9mo agoSeems like there's an attitude of "If letting BYD sell in Eurozone hurts Tesla, it's good" because people hate Elon so much. However I think the loser from that is going to be all the European legacy automakers who will have to try and chase the high end market to survive.
