    They’re not worse than the US, but they’re not better either. Two dictators don’t make a democracy, and they never will. Having a choice between two dictators is not a great choice to begin with, and we shouldn’t feel forced to choose the lesser of two evils.

    Besides, there is already a beautiful and relatively prosperous economic union on the other side of the Atlantic that almost perfectly aligns with our values. They need us right now, and we need them, and I think we would be absolutely foolish to prioritize anything else at this time.

      This european feels exactly the same way. Let us support each other even more than before, and if the dictators want deals they’ll have to accept our terms.

      We all are already suffering the consequences of being majorly dependent to an economic world power. Not excited to depend on them ever again.

      Business relations? Yes, if needed and to our benefit. Dependency? Nope.

      Yes, I absolutely think we should prioritize deals with the EU. I think this is the perfect time for it. I worry that it won’t be enough to make up for the US though and we’ll need other deals to make up the shortfall.
