    So you are saying that the EU is controlled by Germany, yet Germany is the one who has to give? At least get your arguments consistent if you don’t want look like someone merely repeating Russia’s talking points.

      Look at the eu/us export treaty that got made recently. It s motlsy to save car export toward the us. Now tell me which european car brand u see in the us ? Now tell me which european car brand u never saw in the us or just country that doesn’t have that industry.

        Cars make up only moderare part of exports to the US, and not all of them are German. Indeed many of the “German” cars are produced all across the EU.

        Your argument also does not even touch it how supposedly all controlling Germany ends uo paying the most.

          Produced doesn’t mean a lot since the sell only goes to one. Also it s significant part of German export.

            So you claim a considerable part of the Slovak GDP does not exist because the factories are owned by international companies? What a load of nonsense.
