An important lesson from the ongoing #tradeconflicts of the #USA with #China and the #EU: Do not expect a rational #longterm strategy from an individual with the attention span of a three year-old. The orange imbecile in chief is a badly drawn cartoon of a stock market trader who can't think any further than the end of the next quarter. Sad, really.

Rightwing trolls claim that #migration is the only relevant topic in the upcoming #EUelections. They could not be any more wrong (unsurpsrisingly so). In times of global #tradeconflicts, the European nation states are dwarfs about to get crushed. These dwarfs need to unite to survive the current jostling between #USA, #China and #Russia. So no: migration is not the only topic of relevance - far from it. And right wing #divisiveness will weaken #Europe globally.

Certainly the collapse of #BritishSteel has nothing to do with the #insecurity caused by #Brexit and the ongoing #tradeconflicts between the #EU and the #USA? If every country wants to put itself first out of #chauvinism, workers are losing out. https://www.dw.com/en/british-steel-collapses-but-will-trade-in-administration/a-48826413
