    it will never happen. most european states’ “sovereignty” is not real and they are more or less de facto vassals of the empire. the idea that a state like NL could “pivot to china” just isn’t feasible. quick way to get US marines running up your beaches.

      Unfortunately I fully agree but I kind of posted this out of a sense of dreaming.

      That being said, for any European comrades do you ever point out to reactionaries that they are agitating to further their respective countries as vassal states for the US? Both the Tories and Reform might as well start calling for Britain to apply to be the 51st US state, especially with the rapid Americanization that’s happened to the UK since Brexit.
