33. you can chose to believe that, but it is just a belief unless you can give some more concrete

examples.
im not sure i understand what you mean by non-specific nature of the claim?
if the US could easily bully nation states in the EU then why did it fail to do so with china?
why has russia not handed him over?
the VP of the EU commission vivian reding, commissioner for justice,fundamental rights and citizenship, happens to be the lady who negotiated with the US with regard to implications of the FISA legislation for the EU and its laws, because it was obvious at the time they would breach EU law. from the public fury expressed by her regarding the revelations about NSA it would seem she was lied to.
and in case you do not understand europe, the european commission members are not voted for, they are appointed by member states.
you are glib about the leverage you think the US has, but the fear that can be seen from the public reactions of google and apple and the other tech companies involved is more telling than your statements.
they have considerable assets, and considerable profits to protect.
microsoft was hit with a total of $1,9 billion dollars in fines just for some small anti-trust matters to do with interoperability and the inclusion of a media player and browser with windows, the US i believe gave MS a pass on anti-trust.
so please, i am interested in your theories of american preeminence, but i dont think there is any basis in fact for your assertions.
