    , but that’s not the ways USA cares about countering China

    What is the way?

    That [US hegemony] doesn’t exist

    I am not sure if Europe is independent. If we were independent we wouldn’t stay silent about Cuba.

    India is big, but are they on the same technological level?

    Trading energy in euroes

    The US is just stopping the dollar dominance. Europe would have the same problem: everything is produced elsewhere so we are forced to develop the most advanced weapons without practical skills and a reliable supply.

    Africa would buy a mix of food and industrial equipment in Europe

    Building our future on exploiting Africa again is possible but not reliable. China could and will make the better offers. Same for them buying Arabian energy.

    An idealists statement, but it’s not how the world spins around

    Which shows that we only support countries for materialistic reasons. We continue to be the colonial powers. That costs us credibility. Why should countries prefer us over China?
