We’re still at <15% interconnection between EU countries. Do you foresee rapid changes in that regard? I do not think Europe has installed too much PV, it just hasn’t invested sufficiently in grid infrastructure & electrification. Turkey is beating most of the EU on EV rollout. That’s pathetic

Vienna is super regulated and very much pro-social housing yet they obtain one of the best scores in europe. Paris is another city that is doing a lot with regard to public ownership of its housing stock and is also in a much better situation than London.

And there is a cabal of neo-nazi, sociopathic, greedy and racists oligarchs paying for all of this. That’s a the root of the problem. Unchecked inequality and limitless resources in the hands of a handful of depraved individuals.

It’s not madness. It is greed, inequality, racism, unchecked power, maliciousness, sociopathy. It is the mentality of a rapist. Let’s not pretend this is just madness on the side of trump. It is a cabal of oligarchs, tech psychos, racists, fascists, and depraved humans who has brought us here.

This is not conciliatory on the least. She is both pointing out that the US doesn’t have a single ice breaker to invade Greenland with and that the order they have placed with Finland could very easily be cancelled depending on what the US congress decides to do to restrain the orange dictator.

Other people are saying the opposite. It’s the US who has no good options
On the one hand, Europe will be worried about a tit-for-tat economic spiral. But the politics of this fight really favor Europe, just as it favored the Liberals/Carney in Canada.
Moreover, a major European economic response that roils markets c/d really hurt Trump politically w/ midterms 4/
