Especially now that Europe has no colonial empires to rely on

Apart from the UK

But the UK has left the EU

Who cares about military defense

It’s about economic defense

Anyone who knows diplomacy isnt an option when it comes to imperialism

Economic defense is less important than military defense

A non eu europe would get cucked to oblivion by Russia us china and soon india

I highly doubt it would get cucked by india

Since india is 3rd or 2nd world while the EU is 1st world

Sure they would they have a massive economic capacity

Oh you mean economic wise

I dont care, about that as much as military defense

Economic allies is fine, Im not for military allies

China isn’t going to try and invade and colonize Europe my dude but they are going to influence there economy’s and buy there property

Unless of course they're a last resort

I never said they will

And so what if they do?

Implying they're not commies anymore

They wouldn’t we don’t need to think about impossible scenarios

Lol there highly capitalist

Then why bring up that they'll influence our economy?

and buy our property?

Like if it were a video game

Because they can and are doing that right now

In what way? And how is that a bad thing?

Compared to a military invasion.

Well idk man ask most african and some Asian and Latin American nations how being economically controlled by foreign super powers feels like

Economic control bleeds into political control as well as the Cold War is a testament to

They're not being economically controlled

And that's not why the cold war happened

Ya because they have the eu

They dont have the EU

Lol country’s weren’t couped by foreign powers dude?

Not economically no

Europe does so they can pool there economic power together and stand up for themselves with united policy

Hmm Iran might disagree with u there but ok

The EU was set up so Europe didnt get into anymore wars with eachother not because of economic power

Iran isnt controlled by foreign powers

Ya it’s almost there was some sort of revolution that overthrew a certain monarch 🤔
