Every Western country trying to kneecaps itself by cutting itself off from the manufacturing capital of the world is very funny to me

This is who they’ve got in there
The EU’s economic suicide will be studied for decades to come.
The EU made this move following a July report by Reuters, which revealed that Russia had secretly obtained Chinese engines for drones.
How the fuck are you depending on Reuters or any news outlet for this shit? Like don’t they have “intelligence” about this stuff?
You have to go to the very end of the source of the source for this article (two layers deep) to find this:
Describing them as cooling units allowed the goods to be exported to Russia without alerting Chinese authorities, the three security officials said.
AKA even their sources aren’t totally selling the story like this.
News articles are just whatever an intelligence agency says anyways, so they’re just saying this instead of “because our [CIA owners’] intelligence says so.”
They need the media to justify it to the masses. And they feed Reuters info they want published anyway.
remarkable isn’t it
Aren’t engines for drones manufactured almost exclusively in China though? Probably most Ukrainian drones use Chinese motors too
I don’t think this is the correct interpretation. This sentence is not an assertion that the EU didn’t know its only establishing a sequence of events. Very often politicians will react to news reports, you know, to save face etc… They just don’t want to appear to let this slide now that the public knows.
HAHAHA, I didn’t even notice this shit.
Fuck yes, press the destroy economy button because you couldn’t handle the consequences of your own actions
They’re probably trying to save what’s left of their industry because Chinese goods found a new home in Europe with US tariffs.
“due to its support of Russia war against ukraine”
and its just buying stuff from them
They cant even stop buying russian gas themselves 😭
Such a failed “union” the only shit they actually produce is german cars that suck ass and furniture made out of cardboard.
The EU is very successful at heeding Uncle Sam’s demands to collectively jump off a cliff
Do it, yuro peens! Economically shoot yourself in the foot with a rail gun!
Can they just make up their minds. Do they want more trade with China or are tehy going to keep running back to the US over and over again.
They’ll be the dogs of empire at least until the US collapses.
very rare Brexit W
This is 146BC sack of Corinth, the old world west is completely subservient to America at this point. It’s time to update the map of the American Empire
I have been calling it western empire for a reason.
Lol
I can’t possibly see how this will backfire in any way. It’s not like Trump will continue making escalating demands of the EU or anything.
It’s amazing to see. I mean, on the humorous side, it’s an obvious own goal.
In the sombre and cynical side, it’s a decoupling in advance of war.
Ukrainism in action
That’s fine, I’ll just buy european. [somebody hands me a note] oh fuck!
Yes go ahead, destroy your economy.
Can I put a short position on the EU?
