This is what poor leadership leads to, from Merkel onward. These fools didn't see what China was doing to industries around the globe so thenfigured they wanted a taste too? Notice the China-First globalists dont.mention.Germany much? They believed that they could manufacture in China and their auto industry would just go boom. Instead their entire economy has gone "boom" for two years. A two year recession! Now they are going to get hit with tariffs too, brilliant leadership in Europe, the MSS are laughing their asses off. All of the West really has been a parody of leadership. https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/15/economy/german-economy-shrinks-second-straight-year-intl/index.html.
Germany’s economy, the largest in Europe, contracted for the second year in a row in 2024, official data showed Wednesday, underscoring the challenges facing the region as it tries to get economic growth back on track.


Germany’s gross domestic product fell 0.2% last year, according to the country’s Federal Statistical Office, following a contraction of 0.3% in 2023.


It’s the first time since the early 2000s, when Germany was grappling with high unemployment, that the economy has shrunk for two years in a row, according to Carsten Brzeski, global head of macroeconomics at pan-European bank ING.
 
Somewhere in Austria, a lousy artist is dreaming about writing a book about making Germany great again. :laughing0301:
 
In the video, Slovak PM Fitzo suggests that stupid Euro leaders open the newspaper in the morning to find out that they are buying gas at €53 per MWh while it costs €8 per MWh for the US. How are they going to compete with them?

20 years ago the EU and US economy were about equal.

But now the US has a healthy lead over the euros

Why is that?

Yeah, American policy was great in this direction - promoting 'Pan-european' structures that took away subjectivity of the member states; American wars in the ME that caused massive migration influx to Europe with economic and social consequences; instigated war between Ukraine and Russia that disrupted supplies of cheap Russian resources to European Market coupled with insane 'green policy'.

The insane green energy program is the euros own fault

And probably the main difference between their economy and the US today
