I just saw this in a youtube video. Europe is tired of being dependent on the US since unfortunately, we're like the obnoxious Uncle everyone wants to avoid. So they want to set up their own banking transfer system that would not be controlled by the US. My questions are, what political and or economic impacts would this have on the US, and is this an example of the President's obnoxiousness biting us in the butt, or is this an inevitable developement?
Germany calls for global payment system independent of U.S.

Not a problem, first you wish them luck in their endeavor, second you seize all German assets in the USA, in order to pay for perceived damages to our economy, next you shut them out of the existing system, since we control it and they want to destroy our economy, it’s only fair we help them along. Next you do the same to any and every country that goes along with them. Finally you withdraw from NATO, form an alliance with russia, and wish them all the best.

A call to circumvent the system to preserve deals with Iran because Iran will otherwise be cut off.
Must keep Obama's deals with Iran alive.
Good luck with all of that.

This has nothing to do with the post, and is ridiculous, what army is attacking Germany?
Why do conservatives have such a psychological, I would say pathological, need for big militaries? Are they really that insecure?

How many missiles had NK launched recently? Or nuke test? Just close all those bases in germany and move them back stateside. Lots of small communities would welcome the hundreds of millions goi g into the german economy....plus look at the savings.on ac and troop movements.

Ridiculous post. Link me to the most recent ballistic test by Noko...that's what I thought, it certainly IS peaceful.

Should we talk to North Korea? Because talking to them is such a major factor in keeping the peace... Donald tried that and the world surely didn't become an inch more peaceful.
But keeping Iran on the line, staying away from nuclear weapon research, that was a good thing, really. To bad it is now the past, because of Donald.
There is NO spin you could do to make this the other way around!
