that's a bit reductive. there's a time for action and a time for words. also important for recording what is happening.
it's no one elses job to save America from itself. we just need to decouple and look after our own interests and be prepared to act if America crosses the line with us (cf. Greenland.)
I think we had enough of time for words. Will there ever be a time for action? If not, then maybe we didn’t need as many words.
i get it. i'm frustrated too. but while the US admin are fascist assholes, they haven't done anything to us YET to warrant too hard of a response.
what we should be doing is aggressively decoupling. no more US weapons, stop favoring US companies, independent EU tech stack, local defense buildup, things like this.
