I suggest we not follow US fearmongoring and do biz with whoever we want in Europe. Leave us out of your dick measuring contest.

Yeah cause buying Russian energy didn't prove itself a terrible idea. Better ignore the fact that the CCP is an increasingly militaristic, expansionist group who has openly stated a willingness to use force to resolve their "territorial disputes."

And is the US leading by example or something? Honestly the EU is already being severely affected economically by the Ukraine war...

You mean because much of Europe went the cheapest route for energy and didn't decouple itself from Russia quickly despite obvious signs of Putin being eager to expand

Can you be more specific? So many fuck ups from the Tories lately.

Anyways Europe has enough on their plate as it is at the moment, lots of investments will have to be made regarding renewable energies which will take time etc etc, getting into a trade war with China would be catastrophic right now (for both China and the EU). meanwhile the US wouldn't be affected as much.
