The EU Nations have a long and current history of “requiring” insider trade deals with dictators, depriving the citizens of those nations the market value for products sent to Germany, France, Belgium, etc. The Netherlands produces 90% of the world’s illegal pharmaceuticals, the Germans and Italians sent Centrifuges to Iran all the time there was an Embargo they signed onto.... Having spent 8 years as a State Department communicator, getting to understand US Trade and the trade of our allies is a real eye opener. Qaddafi was under immense pressure by France/Fina Oil and British Oil companies to overturn US rights to 69-71% of Libyan Oil reserves; however the Old Sergeant didn’t budge because like the Nazi’s and Japanese who paid royalties the duration of WWII for US patients, he did not want to get the US the right to declare war and take over. If there is a dictator anywhere in the world, the Europeans are there to exploit trade keeping the dictator in power at UN and robbing that/those nation(s) of their wealth. The EU countries are basically committing Crimes Against Humanity with UNEQUAL TRADE.
Thank you for unique perspective. These are things the average citizen does not see.
