Classic "with us or against us" mentality. I will remind you that nowhere in my comment I suggested to get in bed with Putin or Jinping. I am just saying we should probably not get too deeply involved with US either, though still being close friends with them.

You presume too much about which “us” I represent here.

But the posted piece is a (deeply polemic) piece about a policy intending to warn the international community about CCP influence ops. And your take is “woah, let’s look out for America though”

Sorry, but that points in a silly direction for Europe. But time will tell. Yet again.
