Here’s the funny part....

Tariffs on $300 bil is all they have. That’s their limit.

We can go their $300 bil, and raise them $500bil. In fact, if we closed our market to them we’d drop the EU GDP by 5%. And that’s before the cascade of deflation worked its way through their economy.

They are bluffing, or a lot stupider than I thought.

The US has been bled for deca d es by the whole world. Its time for fair and equitable trade agreements and if they don’t like it, like Canada, they are going to face repercussions.

As far as an identity, there is one, but it’s not acting right now. Obviously, being “European” won’t be enough, nor will the hatred against Trump they are stirring up.

The 1 (German/Netherlands) Corps have been around since 1995. The Dutch Eleventh Airmobile Brigade officially joined the Bundeswehr back in 2014. This looks to be the start of it.

I have to apologize since my memory failed me; the other countries include the Czech Republic and Romania.

The Bundeswehr announced its intent to recruit EU citizens back in 2016.
