Germany is getting tiring. Can they appoint Blinken as their foreign minister already? I am far too busy to remember every US' puppet name

It is an empty feeling good act.

Baerbock said she backed the European Parliament's push to ban all products related to forced labor from the EU market: "The European Parliament's proposal to ban the import of goods produced with forced labor is, in my view, exactly right."

We know that European Parliament is nothing but a rubber stamp. It does not even have the power to enforce an EU law.

Does cold war count as a war to change the world order and alliance? US won that one and many former Soviet satellite states are licking the American boots now.

China is in cold war 2.0 with US right now.

The Cold war is a collection of proxy wars, one of which is Korean war. Did China win the Korean war? No, it's a stalemate. Maybe if China wins Korean war, then Korea will abandon it's alliance. I don't see a situation where being big economy or population will result in voluntary US expulsion from peninsula, or voluntary Korea ending the alliance. It takes winning the Korean war to do that. (And also no, I'm not expecting the US collapsing like Soviet Union, although that would be wonderful...even in that scenario of US collapse, what makes you think SK won't go nuclear immediately?)

The South Koreans have zero spine to stand up to Americans, they have no independent foreign policy. The status quo should be permanent.

I agree that the us won't collapse like soviet union, but i foresee the us stagnating like japan, with crime rate closer to mexico/south africa, and wealth disparity similar to brazil

Germans do love to vote nutjobs into positions of power.

I won't call South Korea spinless. I mean, just look at Japan and Taiwan. South Korea will stick a middle finger at their master every once a while, even if it's a feeble attempt.
