Donald Trump’s Davos appearance was billed as the moment the President of the United States would reassure a nervous world; instead, it became a spectacle of vanity, contradiction and geopolitical illiteracy.
This man while holding a veto in the Union Nations is now setting up a right wing organisation called The Board of Peace at one billion a member.
He has and is destroying any trust with the USA with sticks and carrots, showing contempt for not just Europe but for his own people with one falsehood after another.
Saying that we would all be speaking German or Japanese if it wasn’t for America is a direct insult to all that gave their lives.
We, that is Europe are now in a different place with the United States.
The United States is peopled with people from Europe and it is still the main cultural influence.
However the nation has become catastrophically stupid over the past 30 years.
There was a time when Americans were obsessed by the Russians, notably until the seventies. Then it was Japan. And then it was China.
Now it’s Europe,
Europe is not only the EU.
In in Europe you have not only the EU but also the EAEU, the Euroasian Economic Union which is ignored in the news. That is the union of Russia, Kazachstan, Belarus, Kirgizistan and Armenia.
It’s time our countries stop pandering to this Mafia style USA president and stand up as a Union.
Make Iceland members with the other six countries waiting on membership. ( They can be members with the improvisation that they must complete the eu requirements within a specific time frame)
Europe cannot just stand bye and express their membership positions independently of each other.
It must present a unified position as sooner than you think there will be no rules.
It’s time to dump Trump.
As he did not so much deliver a foreign policy address as indulge in a performance aimed at his MAGA base and an imaginary audience that endlessly admires, fears, and obeys him.
It was geopolitics performed as self-parody
The Markets go down and up while he lines is pockets
