How does kicking out the US army improve GDP?
Which sanctions are causing the problem?
Which US wars are impeding growth?
The economy seems to be a black box. Understanding how to turn the knobs is so much guesswork. At least it appears that way.
You kick out US army to gain independence, to grow up, to sit down as a major player.
I mean, it's going to be a lot of expenses, but it's the crucial first step if EU wants its own independent policies.
That said, just my personal opinion. I could be wrong. Maybe it's perfectly fine to have someone else's army on your soil. Maybe you already have independent policies but just happen to agree to the other side more or less. I'm not of EU or US citizen so I could be wrong.
Sanctions on Russia and the US refusal to allow Europe to buy cheap energy from Russia.
> Which US wars are impeding growth?
The US proxy war in Ukraine. The upcoming proxy war in Taiwan.
> - Emancipate both politically and economically
Is Ukraine free when the US is meddling in its internal politics and orchestrating coups to protect ‘American influence’? Where is the freedom and riches you promise in all the countries the US has bombed over the past 60 years?
Protecting ‘American influence’ = an unending payday for the corrupt military-industrial complex monopolies and nothing more.
You just proved my point about US imperialism and "protecting its interest" around the globe is the main economic hindrance for both Europe, and the rest of the world.
You can't be rich if you are under the control of an evil empire. Even if you claim that being colonized is for their own good, the US is still an evil empire, since all empires are evil by definition.
Europeans passed laws to cut it off. Nothing American did. Europeans don't want to fund the guns that will be used by Russians when they decide who to invade next.
