Living in the Dutch part of the European economic engine (much of which is situated in Germany's neighboring countries) this hardly comes as a surprise. The de-industrialization of this area has been underway for decades, but reached breaking point following the 2008 financial crisis and for good reasons.
The American banking sector successfully relegated much of the pain of the US subprime housing implosion on Europe's financial sector and European banks never fully recovered. Consequently Europe's economies pretty much flat lined since then. A situation that was exacerbated by ever more US led sanctions against nations all around the globe.
Let's zoom in on these American sanctions for a little. It is rather odd that every one of these sanctions seem to hurt the American allies significantly more than they do the US. It suspiciously looks like these sanctions were deliberately designed that way. When you think about it; the biggest direct competitors for American industries are all too often European. What a great way to thwart competitors.
In my neck of the woods the latest victim in Washington's relentless drive to sanction the world is the critical Dutch semi-conductor industry. Now local manufactures have not only lost the Russian and Chinese markets but also cheap energy, cheap components and vital raw materials. All this is making it increasingly hard to compete on the world market in the long run.
Henry Kissinger once said “To be an enemy of America can be dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal.” For some reason Europe refuses to see the truth of this and instead buries its head in the sand.
PROTOCOLS OF THE MEETINGS OF THE LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION . . . Protocol No. 6 – Take-Over Technique (agriculture) . . .
❝We shall raise the rate of wages which, however, will not bring any advantage to the workers, for, at the same time, we shall produce a rise in prices of the first necessaries of life, alleging that it arises from the decline of agriculture and cattle-breeding: we shall further undermine artfully and deeply sources of production, by accustoming the workers to anarchy . . .❞

I do not want to trash Jews, and I will not. It is funny though that in parts
of the US, it is a punishable offense to criticize Jews by official mandate.
Europe has always had an uneven system when comparing the poorer
nations to the wealthy nations. What the populous of the various
nations think and believe is not my concern...what the leaders of the EU think
and do is the problem. Same as in the US. The Arabs, et al, have entered the 21st
century, at last, but that may be bad for the Jews, as there is building resentment
due to the treatment of the Palestinians. Oh boy...what a mess. The US may be lost
forever because of the treatment of people in the US. Case in point, the open border.
The practice of taxation, the failing businesses, maxed out social safety nets/welfare
state practices. And yet very few talk peace and cooperation, but you do dear Gerald.
Thank you very much for that. I always appreciate your point of view, and peace and
cooperation are the only solution for our world to thrive.
