The challenges faced by German industry, and by extension the European economy, are exacerbated by Europe's subordination to the dictates of the United States. This dependency influences political decisions that may not align with Europe's best economic interests. The move away from affordable Russian gas and the strained relationship with China are partly a result of aligning with U.S. geopolitical strategies. For Europe to regain economic stability and industrial strength, it must assert more independent policies that prioritize its own economic needs and resilience.

Sadly Europeans think the US is their allies while they get stabbed in the back over and over again (i.e., Northstream pipeline, Russia sanctions, green policies making them depend on US natural gas...). The US is an empire and a bully it has no friends
