Yeah, it took a plague, real shit winter, famine, mass migration invasions and many civil wars. US has a long way to go to reach that point.

Historians might look at this point in time and say “Trump’s second presidency severely weakened the dollar. This had the knock on effects to make borrowing more expensive which made it harder to maintain their public expenses. Their issue was that the army always eats first, the people get the rest. No bread and games was ultimately the downfall.”

Does anyone know whether this is actually possible under the current treaty without unanimous approval of all member states? I know it fits with EU values but I’m not sure these matters are an EU competency (i.e. area EU can legislate)
