US and EU must link arms against MALIGN influence and ‘future problem’ of China
Express UK ^ | February 9, 2019 | By EMILY FERGUSON

EUROPE and the US should put their trade tensions aside and “link arms” against the future threat of China, Donald Trumps’s EU ambassador has said.

--

Gordon Sondland, US ambassador to the European Union, said China’s influence was “malign” and the US and EU should join forces and overcome their current trade tensions. He recommended they combine “mutual energies” and take on the East Asian nation on three fronts: economically, from an intelligence standpoint and militarily. But the USA and EU are currently locked in a trade war with little hope of progress.

The current governments of Germany, France and the UK have crossed the line into fascism and (inter)national socialism. They demand group think and correct thought. They are actively trying to destroy their unique, Western cultures.

We need to leave NATO now.

China is becoming increasing aggressive. They are ramping up their internal propaganda and stirring up hatred for the US and their neighbors - especially Japan.

We need to withdraw from NATO and the UN. Simultaneously, form a new alliance with Russia (based on some behavior changes), many central and eastern European countries (a difficult combination but doable), Japan, South Korea, and other Asian nations possibly including India.

Western European nations that permanently shift to the right would also be welcome.

Together we need to oppose globalism, Chinese aggression as needed, and islam.

Nope, we need to stay in the UN and keep our veto power. Steadily decreasing our financial “contributions” to the UN is a good thing, however.

Junk article.

The EU isn’t part of any viable solution to problems with China, rather, the EU is an expansionist global socialist construct with world ambitions of its own.

So the only way in which the EU might of any help of any sort whatsoever with China would be if we could play a game of “You and him fight” and get them to go at it.

I sort of agree, the title is afterall, somewhat biased (though entirely accurate), but it does identify the Chinese as an actual problem.

It also is our own ambassador.

For far too long America has been deindustrializing our own nation.

It is now high time to actively REVERSE that.

Trump (seemed) to he the first American leader to get that.

But it has now been two entire years.

Go, Mr. President.

This is why you were elected.

This, right here.

Europe is wholeheartedly adopting the AGW climate change theology which will destroy their economies. Europe is the old man or sick man on the world economy stage and would stab us in the back the first chance they get. Plus with the Muslim and African invasion they have sealed their fate.

Demographics will knock China down on the world stage.

A child born this decade will probably reach middle age in a world where population growth has stalled, and may already have begun to shrink. “—Darrell Bricker and John Ibbitson, The Observer, 27 January 2019

“The basic claim that global population, now 7.5bn, will decline rapidly later this century after peaking at below 9bn — rather than the 11bn that is the UN’s central forecast.” - “Market economics failed to topple Chinese communism, but perhaps the halving of its population by the end of the century will do the trick instead.”

Why? “It can be summed up in one sentence. As societies urbanize, women become better educated (including about contraception) and more financially autonomous thanks to working outside the home, and this causes fertility rates to plummet, which is reinforced in most places by the weakening ties of family, clan and organized religion.”

China cannot escape this, even though they now realize the damage their one child policy has done to them.

The US should keep the EU at arms length, as the EU becomes more fascist. Let the EU foot the total bill for their socialism, including defense. We can pivot to other places.

The United States should have nothing to do with the decrepit republics in the mostly atheistic, socialist and increasingly Islamic western parts of Europe. YES we should deal with China. But we should do so in cooperation with the rising Christian power, Russia.

Trump and Putin will save Western Civilization. The decaying EU block has already surrendered.

When did the word “malignant” go away as an adjective and get replaced everywhere with the word “malign”?? Malign is a verb, isn’t it?
