S.D.

Eventually, I became a Mathematician. Still wondering why...

@SariArhoHavren Lol, that sounds like Boudoir discussions when hearing the cannonballs from middle east.
But yes, in US we trust, in any cases.

[S.D. @sdrapeau]

@SariArhoHavren This is the usual fallback.
Bush wins (war, Tokyo Protokoll left)-> hope for change Obama comes (still war but Paris agreement)
Trump wins (left paris agreement) -> Biden (come back to NATO Paris agreement though unconditionally supporte war in Gaza)
Trump wins (war in iran -> .

@SariArhoHavren What is a revisionist power? Révision from what?
Genuine question because this argument pops up many times and I don't know what to think about.

[S.D. @sdrapeau]

@SariArhoHavren I doubt she would do (hope I am mistaken). The decision power is throughout in EU driven by people that have no clue. Only lawyers or naïve liveral art educated people

[S.D. @sdrapeau]

@SariArhoHavren I agree, Merkel has the weight and unlike any others she has a stem background. It doesn't shield her from bad decision but at least she is not a missionary with whacky and misplaced reasoning. Better by a an intellectual far amount than Schröder or VdL/Kallas.

[S.D. @sdrapeau]

@SariArhoHavren Is it new that US goes to war without UN mandate?
Doesn't seem to me that it is a trumpy thing in the course of US behavior, is it?

[S.D. @sdrapeau]

@SariArhoHavren Who were the clever China experts? I miss that one. Didn't see any under Biden too.

[S.D. @sdrapeau]

@SariArhoHavren If there are talks about de risking, the first thing would require a rational assessment of risk, and USA from this viewpoint is the elephant in the room for EU.

Talk about huaiwei without spending a thought about the absolute dependency for data internet and communication to US

[S.D. @sdrapeau]

@SariArhoHavren This is called diversification, isn't it?
Indeed, assess the tech/AI/military/financial dependency. It is still far away from 50/50 but better than 90/10 in most EU nations (critical in most aspects)

[S.D. @sdrapeau]

@vtchakarova Your obsession with China is really positively astonishing.
Everyday, waiting and enjoying the next "dragonbear" twist.

[S.D. @sdrapeau]

@SariArhoHavren Interdependence in American tech is not true. It is pure dependence. Nothing quite like dependence on any other things. This has to be abruptly worked out.

[S.D. @sdrapeau]

@SariArhoHavren @MichaelKovrig 1) this is not a scientific study. (guy doesn't know about statistics at all), it is just biased click bait.
2) if you want to be rational (aside of N being 5 in his case...), you have to test counter biased on both.

Has it been done? No
Should it be reposted? No

[S.D. @sdrapeau]

@SariArhoHavren And what are those ambitions? Because so far USA ambitions/goals/priorities have been totally misunderstood in EU and still are.
And so far the EU is suffering much out of this strategical bad assessment.

[S.D. @sdrapeau]

@SariArhoHavren For more than 12 years to be honest

[S.D. @sdrapeau]

@SariArhoHavren Music to Moscow I agree.
I doubt and have the feeling that Beijing does even care at all.

[S.D. @sdrapeau]

@tryingattimes @SariArhoHavren I agree, or at least I sincerely hope for.

What I am pointing out is the constant conditioning on Trump when European mention USA. It is to my mind wrong and an inherent atlantiste bias that doesn't help to build this resilience.

[S.D. @sdrapeau]

@SariArhoHavren @swirlwords Forget about it. Was just on the surface. Dignified people can be found anywhere and any countries at any level of responsibility. Get over biases: sovereign nationa are only bounded by their own laws (EU particular case).
From nation perspective, Russia, USA, China, etc. , same

[S.D. @sdrapeau]

@SariArhoHavren Maybe one should also put on the conversation how to counter USA hegemony economically too? Surprising that strategic thinker don't see the obvious here.

[S.D. @sdrapeau]

@SariArhoHavren 2) it states a strong bias towards future failure as soon as a Dem admin is voted to power for 4-8 years and the VdL and Kallas will happily run after.

Be clear and set clear strategies. China or US or Russia, no difference from a strategic viewpoint.

[S.D. @sdrapeau]

@SariArhoHavren 1) the Biden administration was just slightly softer in wording but no different (Afghanistan retreat, middle east war in Gaza/Syria/Lebanon, or taking the EU politely on a backseat wrt to Ukraine).
