Given how cheap it appears to be to bribe members of the US regime, has anyone in the EU considered that they could probably outbid Russia?

@david_chisnall that is what's happening now, it is called a trade war and tariffs for extortion.

@david_chisnall Maybe when EU can afford to exist without the USA, they can make an offer.

POLITICO

Europe begins its slow retreat from US dependence

The EU aims to reduce reliance on America in areas such as technology, energy, payments and defense. That will take some time.

@david_chisnall

US politicans do not fullfill the requirements for CE marking, so they're not legal for sale in the EU.

@david_chisnall That would require them to admit first the US is not the good uncle they've been telling everyone it is, the one you can have a nice friendship™ with if you just keep kissing his ring.

@david_chisnall The problem is not with taking money but with committing to agreements/promises and integrity in general. You just can't trust a pathologic liar.

@david_chisnall I think that is a money sink without a bottom, willingly taking in all money from everyone.
