In Donald Trump's estates, an exclusive Scottish golf club Turnberry, the European Commission signed an act of surrender.
Subjected by the president of the United States to long-term grilling, blackmailed by advanced import duties, threatened by even higher threats, punished by sanctions for besides slow cutting off from Russia, threatened by US withdrawal from NATO and US troops from Europe, driven by fast deadlines for an agreement... Ursula von der Leyen concluded a dramatically bad contract or alternatively a ceasefire in the economical war, between allies.
"Frightened Chickens" (as Ronald Reagan referred to European leaders) gave up without a fight, so warm under the American safety umbrella that they no longer imagined the planet without him. The empty laughter comes to head that the same German female announced a "geopolitical European Commission" a fewer years ago or developed Europe's "strategic autonomy".
The game ended with a score of 15 to 0 for Donald Trump. Europe will gotta pay 15% taxation on the vast majority of goods exported to the US. Worse still, the Union has opened its markets, lowering its own customs duties to virtually zero for the US.
But this is only the beginning, and the Commission has additionally agreed to a series of costly concessions for America. The 2 most crucial are the commitment to acquisition energy resources for an astronomical sum of $750 billion over 3 years. This requires the EU to triple today's supply of oil, gas, coal and atomic reactors from the US. And immediately, from next year. The second part of the racket is the commitment to donate $600 billion to investments in America. There they will make jobs, profits for corporations and make taxes for the American state. The capital developed in Europe will work for the size of America.
However, it is not the first time that Brussels has paid so dearly for the deficiency of political courage and submission to Elder Brother. Our energy interests were devoted at least twice before today's defeat. The first event, from 2018, rather accurately described Szczęsniak: Energy distribution of | Think Poland in Polish thought (No 1/2-2025). Brussels thoroughly fulfilled its commitments and the US became the largest LNG supplier to the Union as early as 2021.
The second act came before the Ukrainian War. Washington, erstwhile negotiating with Russia, began threatening her with sanctions that would cut Europe off from gas supply. At the time, the Union was inactive protesting that it would rise prices, hit industry, reduce energy consumption. rather right predictions, and worst of all, came actual due to the fact that Washington convinced Brussels to issue an energy war on Russia while declaring aid in supply.
At the highest level on 25 March 2022. (month after the outbreak of war) an agreement was reached between the US and the EU, depriving Europe of natural materials from Russia, and America was expected to fill the gap. Brussels undertook to make request for an additional 50 billion m3 of gas per year until 2030 and even longer. The Americans wanted to conclude long-term gas purchases that allowed fresh LNG export facilities to be created in the US, and tied European customers for years. Also... nihil novi...
The operation to cut Europe off from Russian gas cost it dearly due to the fact that it had to fight Asia for LNG supplies, which raised prices to an incredibly advanced level. As a result, America has taken over another part of the European LNG market.
This energetic submission to Europe follows 2 fresh victories by Donald Trump in the political and militaric sphere. The first is to shift all costs of Ukrainian war to the Union. Previously, allies jointly funded Kiev, but European economies paid an additional powerful bill for the economical war with Russia. Today, the costs of this conflict are only 1 side: in America arms are produced, for which Europe pays and is supplied by Ukraine.
The second accomplishment was to compression much more money out of NATO members for weapons. Of course American, which Donald inactive reminds us of. At the summit of the Alliance in June, everyone swore that they would arm themselves on an extraordinary scale – spending as much as 5% of GDP. Which means respective times for many countries to rise war spending. According to NATO Secretary-General, “they will make many well-paid jobs in America.” You can modestly add: another.
