Eh, some do. Others need to keep their powder dry. It’s a long 4 years. There needs to be some people he still sort of listens to.

It should also be pointed out that Germany saying anything at all about foreign military intervention is a big deal, given their longstanding policy against it.

Although the US has spent more on bangs than Europe, which has spent on bangs but also helmets and armour and transport.

Brexit wasn’t left/right wing. Eurosceptics on both sides. I’d also point out France where right-wing populism ultimately lost out despite an increase in protest votes.

There’s also a greater tradition of public service broadcasting, meaning politicians are more rigorously interrogated than in the highly commercial, partisan American system.

The EU and EC are somewhat stabilising influences too. An EU member government simply wouldn’t be allowed to do some of the stuff Trump is doing.

Public opinion? Whose? Europe’s, who look down on rampant American capitalism and Trump? Africa’s, who have just been screwed by Trump and Musk? The Middle-East, who have been screwed by America for decades? Asia, who are waiting to hear what China says?

Trade waste too. Got 20 tons of rubble but don’t want to pay the processing fees? Dump it on a farm somewhere.

Vincent Price was quite the chef. He even had a cookery show on British TV in the early 70s.

They’re still nefarious if they are incompetent. See: Fascist Italy.

Pity SpaceX doesn’t believe it has to obey the law, and thinks it can just buy land and dump waste on it.

And a ceasefire does not mean the war is over.
