The only mullet I've seen lately was that US chud in the tour de france. Are there cool people with new mullets?

Why do work when you could ride a unicycle to the community garden for a nice smoke sesh?

Look at your second source. Look at the "not a mistake" percentage start out at 59% in 1965 and slowly walk down to around 40% in 1968 and then around 30% in mid-1971. The "was a mistake" crowd starts at 25% and over the same period walks up to 60%. i.e. it began with domestic popularity, as all US-promoted wars tend to, whip the libs up to fight the enemy, and then deteriorated as consequences built up. Then new narratives were created to cope with this reality. Much like with Iraq, many were apparently always against the war even though a couple years earlier they cheered on the cops against protesters. No concern for the much larger numbers of Vietnamese and Cambodians killed and injured really registered among the US masses, of course, despite the efforts of left organizers. That was never considered a mistake and still isn't among Americans.

Regarding your first source, it is basically irrelevant. What Americans now think about the US war on Vietnam is entirely propaganda narrative.

There is nothing in "the data" contrary to what I said. Would you like to explain what is liberal about the basic realities of history and explaining your own sources back to you?

And a neighborhood communist leader gave a decent showing at the last presidential election.

It's funny because he also could've just sat on it instead of drawing attention with an edited video and an AG announcing it won't be released.

The EU could try to negotiate a graceful exit by seeking to keep their IP agreements and legalized tech advantage that is otherwise only enabled by US imperialism. The "designed in Sweden (made in China)" types of business and various cultural cottage industries like parma cheese etc etc. Obviously China will lap them quickly on this, and arguably already has in many ways, but China's leaders would likely see this as a win-win as opposed to the deindustrialization and cleaving off of Europe - and they continue to work to keep normal relations with the EU.

Whether the EU can politically functionally do this is a very different question, though.

Michael Hudson wrote a fairly popular book called "Superimperialism" with exactly this thesis and it gets periodically updated with more recent examples. It is a common source for folks here speaking about debt and balance of payments and China, so I highly recommend checking it out. There was (is?) a recebt hexbear book club about it as well.
