Let's be a little bit fair here and include Marilyn in that family photo.

Japan is more broke than Europe. Getting into an arms race with China is suicide for them.
Then again, that's probably why they are attracted to it....
That would at least explain her and Chancellor 'Kami' Kwasi Kwarteng's economic policies.
On that note, alot of european government officials must use the magic white powder recently
Funny. Isn’t the EU planning to sanction the USA for stealing their businesses and such and changing 4 times more for the gas and such. These Americans are going to lose all of their friends, especially the ones that matter
And then elites get hunted down by the rest of the free world. Trust me, the world will be better off
Even neocon think tanks started to understand that the US became anti-trade. What they miss is though, the mentality is grassroots. I bet they too have a recent article bragging about how low the US trade/GDP ratio is. All the way from normal citizens to the gov't they perceive any export and import as dependence and thus weakness. Which was a bad idea even in 5000 BC. I don't know how they plan to keep the world aligned with US policies by becoming even less visible economically.
Australian Foriegn Minister Penny Wong will travel to Beijing this Wednesday on a ministerial-level visit.
Bro it is
The thing is, the anti-trade moniker doesn't hurt their perception of the US as hegemon at all, the result they aspired was always a weaker peer competitor (sometimes RU, sometimes CN) through their action, they didn't give an F for their poor when they really were undisputed between 1992-2015, and certainly couldn't care less about the ramifications of their short-sighted FP and TP now, since all their vassals are still backing their delusions.
Speaking of vassals, i don't think anyone in Europe or Japan would really resist any major US FP move, we feel the pain already but the general people are just to limited in strategic depth and thinking to realise that the current path leads to europea and japans own century of humiliation. Kinda expected when the "threat" of the last 20 so years were afghan kids and the occasional boko haram enjoyer...
OT:
I really admire the hours you stay awake, is this the CS spirit coming through?
