What are you protecting if the American companies destroy their European competitors, and break Europe into small irrelevant pieces in the process? You are just postponing the issues and making them much worse in the long term. Appeasement is never the right strategy when the other side's goal is to destroy you.

You're an international policy expert? Lemmy really does have every sort of person!

Look, I don't like that the EU is going easy on monopolies, and I don't like the appeasement strategy either. I was just pointing out that this isn't about Trump's "feelings," but rather the well-being of everyone who is affected by these policies.
