Haul dintre SUA si UE se adanceste

The most visible pushback against Washington came from Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany — who delivered an unusually passionate speech — and from her defense minister, Ursula von der Leyen. They spoke about the dangers of unilateral actions by major partners without discussing the consequences with allies.

They cited Mr. Trump’s recent announcements that American troops would leave northern Syria and Afghanistan, as well as the administration’s decision to suspend one of the last remaining arms-control agreements: the ban on land-based intermediate range missiles. That decision affects European security, and there has been no alternative strategy, Ms. Merkel said. Abandoning the treaty, despite Russia’s violations, helps decouple Germany from the American nuclear umbrella. “We sit there in the middle with the result,” Ms. Merkel said.

The Syria pullout, she continued, could only help Russia and Iran. That view was echoed by the French foreign minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian, who called American policy in Syria “a mystery to me. When he was told by Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, that the United States would preserve “some capacity” in Syria, the normally diplomatic Mr. Le Drian said, sarcastically: “Oh, that’s good news. I didn’t know.” And then he added acerbically, “That fills me with joy.”

Mr. Trump is not the cause, said Norbert Röttgen, the chairman of the German Parliament’s foreign relations committee, but a symptom of the tectonic shifts in geopolitics that have led to the return of great power rivalry and centrifugal forces away from multilateralism. “In the post-Trump era, there is no return to the pre-Trump era,” he said. “The status quo was Europe’s security is guaranteed by the United States. That won’t happen again.”

“In contrast to Merkel’s visionary outward-looking speech that triggered warm applause, Mr. Pence delivered a stilted defense of Trump’s achievements to a skeptical audience,” said Amanda Sloat, a scholar with the Brookings Institution in Washington and a former official in the Obama administration. Ms. Merkel even mocked the idea that German cars could be considered a “national security threat” by the United States, as American trade officials have asserted. “If that is viewed as a security threat by the United States,” she said, “we are shocked.”

Declaring that BMW’s largest plant was now not in Bavaria but in South Carolina, she added, “We are proud of our cars, and so we should be.”

"We cannot start another nuclear arms race,”Spanish Foreign Minister Josep Borrell said in an interview with POLITICO, urging an immediate effort to build a new treaty that would also include China. “We need a comprehensive agreement on nuclear weapons with all stakeholders. What does Mr. Trump want? No agreement at all? This is not our view.”

European officials warned that the vacuum created by the treaty’s lapse could put their security at risk by reigniting the nuclear competition between the U.S and Russia with the Continent caught in the middle. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg and other leaders took pains in Munich to reassure the public that the U.S. has no intention of stationing mid-range nuclear weapons in Europe in response to the treaty’s collapse.

Despre asta-i vorba. De cand a ajuns gibonu' portocaliu presedinte. UE a fost pusa in fata faptului implinit si a trebuit sa scoata matura si farasu' din debara. Chestia asta-i intolerabila.

SUA nu poate dikta

sa nu intre cu capul inainte intr-un joc sec al orgoliilor.

A fost mare conferinta la Munchen.
S-a discutat despre securitatea continentului, a lumii si despre amenintarea pe care SUA sub administratia lui Trump o reprezinta la adresa sigurantei Uniunii si a lumii.

Uniunea Europeana nu e nici vreun stat sud-american si nici vreun stat african care sa fie la discretia si placerea administratiei americane, chiar daca pare ca suntem ostaticii unui ticnit vremelnic aflat la Casa Alba.
SUA nu poate face toate mizeriile insirate mai inainte fara sa se astepte la represalii. Toate lucrurile astea au rabunfnit la Munchen.

Si noi tot cu tanti Veo defilam...

Cu ce e ticnit Trump ca urmareste interesele americanilor? Ca vrea sa-i puna pe ioropeni la plata, nu sa duca numai ei tot NATO in spate?
Ca baga taxe vamale sa incurajeze productia nationala?

Esti naiv...
