This is propaganda though. At least the other post of OP today gets all the facts wrong. That is clearly not meant to start a good discussion on the topic.

Since when are European countries no longer part of the West?

The Federal Reserve has unemployment figures as well and they are relatively low. They also claim the US is loosing jobs, so not a great future for them.

Less competition for American workers(similar story for tariffs). There is a reason for unemployment is so low and that is mainly that the US is loosing population to migration, which has not been the case for basically ever. The issue is that the trade war is hurting the US economy, so workers do not really benefit from it.

At the same time capitalist like it to a degree, as it makes migrants much more dependent on their jobs, then American workers. As in visas often depend on having a job.

Obviously capitalists still want migrants to exploit.

This has nothing to do with masculinity and everything to do with money.

Turns out birds are smart enough to understand that the blades can kill them. So they avoid flying into them.

The Citroen Ami was developed by PSA, which then merged with FIAT Chrysler to form Stellantis. However PSA did not even try to sell anything in the US. However there is a market for small vehicles in the US. For example:

He probably wants to leave the European market and knows that EVs will be a hard sell in the US for some time. Especially with none US car makers not focusing on massive trucks.

Air-droppable combat vehicles have been bad in Ukraine. Russia is unable to fly into Ukraine with large aircraft, so the drop would likely be an uncontrolled fall after an explosion. On the ground they are lightly armored, so a lot of weapons can take them out rather easily.

However this can keep Russian arms factories open after the war and China is paying for it, which is a problem.

Under Biden the US was actually moving in the right direction with the Inflation Reduction Act. That would have helped a lot, but the American people rather elected Trump again.

The German car industry is more then just the big car brands. They are aware of the Chinese competition and they have invested a lot to be able to compete. However for parts suppliers this is much more difficult. If you are a making some metal engine casts for example, you really do not have expertise, which translate well to EV production. So you probably go down. Those sort of ICE car part suppliers have fired 50k workers in Germany this year already. The transition is hurting them badly and they would love five more years.

The good news is that Germany is at 30% BEV production and rising fast. So those companies are already in a very bad place and so is their lobbying power long term. For Germany Spain and France blocking this is probably the best thing to happen. Oh and the EV industry did get buyers subsidies in Germany for the next five years.

This entire article imho stinks. Some insurance company boss from the UK says that the EU, which the UK is no longer a part of is going to do something. Sure some actors would like that, but this seems strange. Especially with France and Spain being against it.

It is about Trump wanting German car companies to move their production to the US. Which is also really important to stress that a lot of cars made in the US are not made by the big 4, but by Toyota, Hyundai, Volkswagen, BMW, Subaru and other foreign car companies. A lot of countries are looking for similar set ups from China as well. So stuff like BYD building factories in Thailand and Hungary for example.

That is most certainly the first time, I heared the United States of America described as a nobody.

Germany had 2.8million new cars sold in 2024 and a production of 4million cars. So net export is 1.2million cars. The difference is that Germany imports 4x more cars China does.

About the absolute and per capita. That does not make that much sense for trade. Countries with a smaller population have to specialize much more and trade in other products. Iceland would be stupid, if it had its own car industry for example, but it has a massive aluminium overproduction, which it can then trade for say cars. However larger countries are able to produce a lot more internally. So they tend to export and import less on a per capita bases. So yes China can not do certain things other smaller countries do, just due to its size. In this case even 4x lower net exports of cars then Germany, still mean 4x more cars being exported in total, which causes trouble around the world.

Maybe you should actually read the article you linked. It clearly speaks about overcapacity.

Also China is by far the biggest car producer in the world making up a third of global production. The exports are also massive. Last year the exported 5.859 million vehicles and grew more then 19%. The only countries producing more cars then China exports(only exports) are the US, Japan and India. Also this up until September Chinas car exports grew by 14.8% compared to the same period last year. So that would overtake Indias total car production of last year.

They are phasing out subsidies to buyers of EVs, but not the ones applying to Chinese exports of EVs. The Chinese even aknowledge that their susbidies created a massive oversupply, which means artifically low prices for them. That creates a huge problem for the European car industry, which did not get those subsidies.

From the article:

China has sent a clear signal that it is willing to pull the plug on subsidies for its electric vehicle industry

That is a huge difference to having mostly phased out subsidies.

This is the end of US car makers besides Tesla. Very few countries like to buy those massive American trucks and SUVs and without EVs selling normal cars is going to be difficult in many large markets, such as China and Europe. GM has basically left Europe already and Ford is firing workers like crazy. Stellantis is very likely to follow, but they have strong European brands and probably manage a bit longer.

Did they watch to much Breaking Bad. As in stop the drugs from Venezuela and onshore drug production to the US using some badly paid chemistry teachers?

“Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor of the House of Representatives, and we know that’s the case,” Jeffries said at a press conference Monday.

Okay, but that is very different from not persueing an impeachment. Sometimes you do something, just to create a forum.
