Re: Why has it taken this long?

"My opinion is the EU needs to stand their ground, tell the US to go fuck itself, and deal with the consequences."
That might be the right choice for the EU but then it would have to realise its reliance on the US and accept its dreams of being a big player are nothing but dreams. Trading with the US is worth so much that previous protection models have been used as a temporary bandage replacing a temporary bandage and the same might happen again.
Already Germany is crying at the loss of US troops and thats just the loss of a few local troops spending. US trade is worth magnitudes more. If the EU cut its trade with the US it would be another self imposed severe blow.
