    8:08 Poland is barking but when her American master ask her something, she gives him the paw, gets petted and goes back to her kennel. Poland buys American or South Korean military equipment with our billions. Poland gives subventions to her new car maker, thanks to our billions. Poland says "YES" when Washington orders her to be part of Iraq invasion in 2003… May they keep their mouths shut???

    February 21, 2024 at 9:08 am

    It will never happen. The countries of Eastern and Central Europe will not agree to Germany's dominance in the EU. He might as well let Russian troops in and pay tribute to Putin. Scholz has no public support and the socialists lose elections all over Europe. The SPD is the third party in Germany. And his ideas do not have the support of Poland, Spain and the V4 group, and nothing can be introduced in the EU without it.

  14. @ShikiByakko

    February 21, 2024 at 9:08 am

    What France and Germany wants is to be able to control other countries, specially countries they have problems with. Not only that, it will make small countries, like Malta, Cyprus and many other small EU countries almost automatically lose their voice in the EU, leaving just the big countries to decide everything for everyone.
    These ideas go against what the point of the EU was in the first place, which was just an economic union allowing for freedom of movement of people and good between member countries.
    Anything more than that is just politicians trying to expand their power outside their own borders.

  15. @astronorthwet636

    February 21, 2024 at 9:08 am

    The EU needs to stop forcing policies on members that ruin their social fabric and choosing climate change nonsense over farmers and energy requirements. They are trying to peanut butter spread the same stupid policies across all member countries regardless of their cultural differences. That’s not what anyone had in mind when the EU was formed.

    The tax thing is NOT a concession. Scholz is corruption incarnate, and he does not give a wet fart about anyone but his banker friends (comp. cum-ex scandal). He WANTS the ability to borrow infinitely because that allows these evil people to exploit (effectively raid) other countries like they did with Greece and keep the majority of people tightly locked in the yoke of the finance cartels. They are treating credit as a natural resource, and they are looking more like Russian oligarghs every day.

    Germany was and still is a problem for all Eu countries . It has to decide if it wants to be in the EU or with Russia . Germany is not the miracle nation that is published , it has no operational armed forces , a failing infrastructure , the list is long . Germany has to decide who it wants to agree with

Earlier this week, a trade war broke about between the US and Canada. But the EU, a more Canada-aligned ally, appears to have a pretty muted response so far. So, in this video, we’re taking a look at the escalating US-Canada trade war, how it’s pushing Canada towards the EU and how the EU is responding.
