Tbh even if there was sufficient political will to pivot to China (there is some, and it is growing), people underestimate just how entangled European military structures are with the US via NATO. This is by design of course, and a situation EU atlanticists have historically been very happy with, but pulling out is no small ask.

Maxim Gun (The “Use in Colonial Warfare” section is particularly illuminating)
China as commercial partner is way more reliable as the USA, apart the EU has finally approved Mercosur, creating with it the biggest common market in the world. The USA will lose all commercial partners in the future if they continue with their policies. The only problem is that there are still EU countries to submissive with the USA (Germany and some eastern countries).
Meanwhile the USA on the way to an civil war
This is Gunther though, his favourite pasttime is posting balkanization maps of Bad CountriesTM, in other words he’s a total weirdo.
wait, this guy is not just a shitposter on twitter, he’s an actual nato person? huh.
He is just a shitposter although his shitposts are entirely serious, and he’s not an actual NATO person, that “institution” he is chairman is just an Austrian NATO fanclub which have probably 1 member.
ahhhh. haha, he has a patreon and his own DOCTRINE!
We should be wary of Austrian men with a DOCTRINE, just saying
If the US aren’t careful he might start calling for ex-Amerikkka 🤣
China is off doing naval drills with Russia in South Africa right now. They’re actively working against Europe in Ukraine. Not really a trustworthy partner for anything.
History started yesterday, i see.
In yester-year China invaded their friends and allies India & Vietnam. Not long Before that Europe was inventing entirely new ways to shaft over the rest of the world. There’s really no such thing as a “trustworthy” partner in geopolitics, just Alligned incentives&ideologies

I’m not making china look bad, I’m making all states look bad by citing the tendancy of them to become imperialist when there exists a sufficient power differential, hence why I cited Europe more critically than china.

So are western countries as well and don’t see you crying about it?
They’re actively working against Europe in Ukraine.
Insisting sanctions to be decided in the UN and not unilaterally by the west when it’s NATO expansion that triggered the war is not working against Europe. Providing a framework for peace and trying to facilitate peace talks is not working against Europe. Being the largest trading partner of Ukraine is not working against Europe.
Not really a trustworthy partner for anything.
Europe and the US are right?
I’m just stating facts. China is a geopolitical rival that cannot be trusted by the EU. Less militarily dangerous than Russia, but economically dangerous in every way.
You seem very emotional about it though.

You’re just repeating western foreign policy you imperialist bootlicker. Imagine having a zero sum worldview dipshit

“I am very smart”
Europe is an ant compared to china, that’s not a rival.
