(These Germans will never learn their lesson)
Germany issues warning to US
=Europe should make it clear to President Trump that failure to back “liberal democracies” will come at a price, Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has insisted
Europe should not hesitate to putpressure on the US if it fails to fall in line with “liberal democracies,” German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said on Friday. Thediplomat??? made the remark following talks between the US and Russia that excluded representatives from the EU and Ukraine.
Speaking at a campaign rally in Potsdam on Friday, the Green politician stated, “We’re increasing pressure on theAmericans [so they know] they have a lot to lose if they don’t stand on the side of Europe’s liberal democracies.”(Trump’s tariffs will be higher now andthe US will withdraw every single cent from Ukraine, let the EU pay it all, and if they don’t believe it, they will soon. If this was a European and Ukraine war, why did the US contribute more than any of you. How stupid are these dictators?)
With respect to EU-US relations, Baerbock warned against drawing any precipitous conclusions, remarking that “nothing has been decided there.”
“No one can decide about war and peace for the Ukrainians or us Europeans, and this is the clear German stance,” she insisted. Baerbock also warned against forcing Kiev into a “phony peace” or “capitulation,” which she said would only invite further “war and violence.”
A rift has opened up between Washington and Brussels since US President Donald Trump took office last month. Trump has taken atougher stance on trade with the EU by threatening tariffs and demanded that its European-NATO partners boost spending on collective defense.
Addressing Munich Security Conference attendees last Friday, US Vice President J.D. Vance delivered a sobering speech to Europe’s political elites, suggesting that the biggest threat the continent is facing is one coming from within –the erosion of democracy.
”In Britain and across Europe, free speech, I fear, is in retreat,” the official stated, concluding that “if you’re running in fear of your own voters, there is nothing America can do for you.”
The speech sent shockwaves across governments, with leaders, including Germany’s Olaf Scholz, scrambling to rebuke Vance’s assertions.
The fallout was further highlighted when Washington and Moscow held high-level talks in Saudi Arabia this week without bothering to invite EU representatives. This perceived slight prompted an outpouring of anguish and indignation on the continent.
Trump blasted Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky this week, branding him a dictator without elections, but a number of European leaders have rejected the US president’s assertion that he lacks legitimacy.
In an interview with Fox News on Friday,=Trump said he sees no point in having Zelensky involved in peace talks with Russia. He also insisted that French President Emmanuel Macron and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer “haven’t done anything” to put an end to the bloodshed in Ukraine for the three years since it started.

Someone should advise this “diplomat”, that she just set up a war with American democracy and Nazi ideology that our country must bow too. Watch the tempered response from the Trump Administration. Thank you idiots for excusing the US from the war you started.)
