And got lulled by Biden's US policy and economics trying to help everyone dig themselves out of COVID.
It's going to hurt them bad to stand up no matter if they kneeled to the Project 2025 clowns first, or turn their backs on the US, and they know it.
This is a pull off the bandaid too early quickly or slowly situation, and the EU, at the very least, needs to quickly figure it out as one voice instead of 1/3 of the EU flipping the bird to *Rump, 1/3 dithering around because of, well, investments and their own billionaire boi clubs - with the final third remaining quiet because they were going to follow the majority no matter what was decided.
Dithering makes it worse.
The Billionaire elites and resource Oligarchs can't sustain their own wealth and luxury once they start crashing the economy. And it's going to be a hard empire ending crash; too much money is separated from real assets and based on speculation.
Rich people honestly think working people trying to keep from dying off will happily stop rebuilding effort for themselves and their families or communities - for otherwise worthless inflated money instead of something tangible.
