Trump is a moron - threatening to withdraw US troops out of Germany is a gift to Russia. But the EU cannot wait for Trump to go away because if he wins reelection that could be 5 years away. We don't have that time. The EU needs to wor

> How can you not see that they are waiting till trust re-appears. The EU cannot afford to wait that long. China isn't taking a pause on its aggression. Indeed, its exploiting the US under Trump, Covid, etc to move aggressively now.

Yes, of course. The point is that Keynesian macro and appropriate tax policies are a much better policy response than austerity can ever be. The UK has the advantage of printing its own currency so it can engage in monetary financing if the
