OPINION: It is increasingly hard for Europeans to find common ground with the Trump administration. But saying it out loud carries the risk of worsening relations.

However, to feed false hopes of constructive engagement with the White House is both dishonest and irresponsible.

Don’t speak is clever because actions say more than 1000 words. So don’t talk - act.

Wait till Trump will bomb Greenland / Europe.

Seriously, european politicians need to wake up or leave.

Relations are already at their lowest.

Common ground. Let me provide the solution with this simple one word description to guide considerations:
fuckwit.

Fuck this TACO loving right wing shitrag. Sell off your American Treasury bonds! Make borrowing for war unprofitable.

Europe, just act. Stop trying to convince Trump, praise Trump or do anything he expects us to do. Just act. The attack on the Iranian uran enrichment sites, after he ripped the JCPOA, shows us that he has moved to the near east. Mil. aid is redirected to Israel, now new funding planned.

Also the text of the Budapest Memorandum was removed from the WH web pages. Trump sees Ukraine as lost case, that is why he send bombers into Iran because he needs a "success" to sell in the USA. The interest of the oil lobby, major financial supporters of him, lies in the near east too.

Europe should stay the hell away from the U.S. since it just can’t shake its MAGA fever and create new alliances and trade partnerships with nations who have stable competent governments and leaders. US financial safety in the world continues to suffer. Follow me!

I thought everybody understood that the real conversations and the real work is happening when Trump isn’t there. To assume action can only be advanced at a summit is sort of crazy.

Stating the obvious which all in Europe are aware. Nobody believes that White House is a reliable partner in anything, and the very opposite on russian aggression.
It is not irresponsible to humor Trump to delay the day of his vindictiveness, while at the same time making preparations for that day.

If sheer unpredictability is the only reliable hallmark of Trump’ “administration”, there needs to be a firm line drawn where the EU cuts off from the collateral damage.

I can see the argument here. Limit engagement and things

notsoblackcat.bsky.social•2 days ago

so this is Europe, where politicians have always been cowards. the whole world sees that russian whores have won in the USA, whose goal is to destroy the Western world.

As an American, same.
