I wrote about this 7 months ago. The Europeans have a lot of leverage against us. Let’s talk about it: So, what is the “trade bazooka”? The EU’s “trade bazooka” refers to a relatively new tool in the European Union’s trade policy arsenal officially called the Anti-Coercion Instrument (ACI) designed to protect the EU and its member states from economic coercion by third countries.

Originally this was for Russia. Now, it’s for the US. It’s a regulation adopted by the EU in 2023 (Regulation 2023/2675) to deter and respond to coercive economic measures by non-EU countries. Policymakers and media commentators often call it the “trade bazooka” because of its broad range of possible response options from trade tariffs to restrictions on market access making it the EU’s most powerful counter-pressure mechanism in trade disputes.

There is a fundamental misunderstanding of how the bond market works and how treasury selling works. I’ll explain: No coordinated European selling of U.S. Treasuries would not mechanically devalue the euro. I’ll explain why they haven’t pulled the nuclear financial bomb though.

Why this is not like “dumping your own currency”

Key misconception people have:

“Selling Treasuries hurts the euro because Europe holds them”

That’s wrong.
•Treasuries are foreign assets
•Selling a foreign asset does not weaken your own currency
•It only weakens your currency if you print or dump your own money

Europe would be reducing USD exposure, not EUR credibility.

Alright I’m going to make a thread because Europeans (love yall) need to understand what’s going to happen. This is not “American drama.”
This is not normal protest politics.
And this is not something that can be safely escalated.

Europeans are missing the structural risk.

This is not about protests it’s about triggering emergency powers

In the U.S. system, mass unrest is not neutral.
It can legally justify:

• Deployment of federal troops domestically
• Suspension of normal civilian authority
• Federal takeover of state National Guards
• Curtailment of assembly, press, and movement
Escalation doesn’t weaken authoritarian power it concentrates it.

Americans really are dumbasses atleast on here. Congrats, you picked the weakest subdivision of a superpower and still don’t understand sovereignty. Your specific type shows you should’ve been held back in school. But for education sake, what the hell, here’s a thread:

Comparing United States to Denmark or worse, a U.S. state to Denmark isn’t “humbling Denmark.” It’s a category error. The correct comparison would be to the entire European continent. But you’ll never admit that.

Warning: if you are triggered by maternal morality, infant deaths, and pregnancy loss, please scroll. We now have some grim statistics about the fall out, Romania under Ceaușescu (communist dictatorship) had showed the same results but we did not listen. Here’s what’s happened.

On the surface it shows higher TFR, but the problem? America counts the live births as part of TFR even if the baby dies moments later, which is important. More on that. We established that the Total Fertility Rate (TFR) counts every live birth, regardless of whether the baby survives for hours, weeks, or years.

Therefore, if:
- Births increase because pregnancies are forced to term, and
- Infant mortality also rises,

The raw TFR will mechanically increase, even if the overall population survival worsens.

Congress is taking the reins back on Europe from Trump. To my German & European friends worried about US security commitment: I hear you. The discourse can be alarming, but it's important to look at actual legislation not Trump’s “National Security Wishlist”. The annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) often tells a more stable story. Let's break down the 2026 NDAA. First, on US Troop Presence in Europe: Many have heard talk of withdrawals. BUT, the 2026 NDAA includes strong provisions that limit any major reduction of US forces in Europe. It prevents troop levels from falling below ~76,000 without extensive consultation & Congressional certification. This is key.

The last time American leadership disliked Europe this much wasn’t the 1930s. It was the 1880s–1890s. Painful history lesson time:

It was a period when the U.S. saw Europe as:
– weak
– decadent
– overregulated
– cheating economically
– living off American prosperity

Sound familiar? In the 1890s, Congress ranted about “pauper Europe” dumping cheap goods into the U.S.

One Congressman literally bragged that tariffs would stop:

“the cabbages of pauper Europe from competing with our cabbages.”

Yes. That was said in Congress.

Electricity bills are rising in 2026 but not evenly.

And the biggest driver of future prices isn’t households, climate, or policy.

It’s AI datacenter load.

Here’s how the U.S. and Germany diverge 👇 🇺🇸 UNITED STATES — 2026 Reality

U.S. retail electricity prices are expected to rise +5–10% in 2026.
But that’s the baseline.
The real accelerant is structural:

America is building 100+ hyperscale datacenters each with city-level electricity demand.

I’m not going to sugarcoat it. Europeans, you better be damn fucking prepared if this ceasefire happens as it is right now. I’m going to give you a full analyst breakdown and it’s not going to be pretty. I’m going to be very blunt and your future is bleak. Unfortunately I’m in it Russia will rearm at full speed. This is not a maybe this is definitive. Do not believe these stupid Europeans whom are being delusional on this app. Analysts at ISW, the Estonian Intelligence Service, and Poland’s OSW agree:

It’s 2025. You wake up tomorrow and the President has initiated the Insurrection Act and has full plenary powers. Here’s what’s next (simulated). This isn’t 1933 Germany. This is 2025 America: Day 1: Executive orders = law. Tens of thousands of civil servants fired & replaced with loyalists.
Immigration raids begin before sunrise.
