Germany had a strong economy until Biden blew up the Nord Stream pipeline. The Big Guy did what he was told and made $100s of millions in return. Genocide Joe and the Biden crime family need to be prosecuted.

I never believed in Europe even though born there and never believed in Bernie. Proof that you are a simple-minded twit who still has a lot to learn.

Europe isn't the CIA, Hawk. Europe's problems are of it's own making.
What a crock of shit^, when “America runs out of rich” get back to usThere’s a serious lesson here; do not vote for progressive, leftist Democrats who always seem to lack any common sense or knowledge how economics and markets work.
Why Europe is dying — and how America can escape its stagnant fate
America needs more rules to protect workers, say some from both parties.
Republican Sen. Josh Hawley wants more rules empowering unions.
Barack Obama’s former labor secretary says there’s “no fairness, no equity, no concern for safety, no concern for children, even!”
European countries, they say, have more laws protecting workers, and so “Europe is better.”
That’s nonsense, says economist Sven Larson.
He grew up in Sweden, but now says, “If you’re a worker, you don’t want to live in Sweden!”
One reason is that unemployment is 10%.
“If you get fired,” says Larson, “There’s no job out there for you.”
Years ago, America’s economy grew neck and neck with the European Union’s. Then, about 15 years ago, Europe stopped growing.
Today, the USA is 50% richer — even though the EU has 100 million more people.
Europe is kind of like a big museum. Tourist money keeps it going, but there’s so little growth that, per person, America’s poorest state (Mississippi) is now richer than most European countries.
The reason is the very same policies ignorant Americans want to copy — like higher taxes on the rich.
“But what do you do when you run out of the rich?” asks Larson. “Tax the almost rich. Then you run out of them.”
But some Americans today are absurdly rich.
Even “if you add up all the value these individuals have,” he replies, “it’s nowhere near enough to pay the obligations that the federal government has.”
So, tax is taken from the average worker.
In Sweden, he says, “Average workers pay [a higher percentage of] taxes than you do if you make $400,000 here in the United States.”
But at least their health care is free.
“No!” he replies. “You get the right to free health care, but whether you get health care is a different story. I have friends who died in the Swedish health care system because they couldn’t get treatment in time.”
Still, Europe offers generous welfare benefits.
“They take care of people!” I tell Larson.
“But it also entraps you,” he says. “People get stuck in low-end jobs. They don’t start businesses like we do.”

Apparently, you didn't read the article or lack the brains to comprehend any of it. But hey, that's just another day for a Kamala voting halfwit.

Under the banner bloquons tout – "let's block everything" – the aim is to paralyse France on 10 September with nationwide action characterised as a general strike.

I'm hearing the general strike has already begun. Anyone have news on this?

Unlikely. Russia wouldn't want the burden Western Europe poses to their economy. It would be a net drain on things.

You are unlikely to hear about it as the French government has tight control over the press there and would simply prohibit stories getting out.
Thanks. I'm hearing a little but can't find anything to back it up. We'll know by Wednesday.

Europe is dying because they surrendered to Islam. Suicide born of stupidity. There will be no Charles Martel to save them this time.
America is following closely in the desire for defeat.
