    Good step, but we need to go further. Kick out all US companies. Block all big tech services, kick out McDonalds, oil companies, accountancy firms, block import of all General Motors cars. No more Apple stores, sorry. Block sales of microchip lithography machines. Close their factories and nationalize them.

    Then, for good measure, dump all US bonds the ECB holds.

    Thén have a talk.

      But then where will all of the backhanders come from? For example, privacy is not a God given right, it’s something that we should have to fight tooth and nail for - according to these same people that are currently fighting to monetise our privacy and ‘eyeing’ the freezing of a trade deal that they have probably already been paid half for, for agreeing to it in principal. Many of them, themselves fighting to clear their names of taking payments for agreements or contracts be they Pfizer, Apple, Google, Microsoft or any other mainly US company. They, nor their children or grandchildren will be held accountable or even have to deal with whatever comes as a result of this. So realistically don’t care. Denmark citizens might get lucky with some deal that exempts them from all sorts of bullshit coming down the line that we won’t know about until it’s far too late.

      Good one. Revoke restrictions on sales to countries US blocks too. China will pay more than US. Dissolving NATO is the big one. New alliance with those willing in Europe with Russia and China is needed.

      Trump has admitted that he doesn’t care about any resources in Greenland (very expensive to develop and far from markets. Rare earths are for people who want to build EVs and wind turbines). This means that the only purpose of replacing NATO bases with US bases there is to be closer to striking/threatening Europe. If US has cozy/colonial role over Europe and it wanted to target Russia, then it would use EU/NATO bases to do it, and EU, as loyal puppy, is totally accommodating and supportive of that suicidal mission. US control of Greenland, within a colonial NATO, offers 0 additional threat platforms against Russia.

      When the US says it is a national security priority for it to control Greenland, it is automatically a much bigger national security priority for Europe to control it, and then needing to use Russia and China’s help to control it.

        Allying with other fascist enemy nations is not a productive way to fight back against the usa.

          Propaganda for corrupt “liberal supremacy” is what is threatening you, and will destroy you, if you allow your rulers, whose political capital is entirely given to them by the CIA, to continue delivery your soul to US colonial master. When CIA and oligarchy are given free speech, their supremacist speech, bribery, extortion power drowns out all other speech, and the liberalism values justification of the fascist supremacism is a lie.

          Allying with multi polar world was always consistent with genuine democratic values compared to “thou shalt diminish and kill those less liberal and CIA-ruled than us.” It is absolute only path to defending Europe from USA. CIA inspired “values” are not there to help.

            I get that you’re deep into some strange conspiracy theories. But no, aligning with fascist enemy nations is not a democratic value. It is also not the only path to defending the eu by any stretch of the imagination when nuclear weapons exist.

              Nationalism is the strange conspiracy I found myself surrounded by. Historical revisionism is an even more confounding concept for me to consider
