The U.S. saved Europe. Will Europe save the U.S.?

Republicans and Democrats unite to condemn Trump’s attacks on allies

American politicians break rank at Munich Security Conference to hit out at ‘destructive’ president and urge Europe to stand up to Trump

Donald Trump’s most unbridled critics at this weekend’s Munich Security Conference have not been Europeans but Americans – and not just Democrat(sic) politicians.

Is the Guardian towing the GOP Democrat slur line, or is this a Briticism?

A few Republicans, out of earshot of the US president’s favoured Fox News, have had the courage to challenge Trump’s diet of tariffs and unpredictability.

The attacks came thick and fast as Democrats vied to disown Trump, or, in the case of Hillary Clinton, the former US secretary of state, to urge Europe that Trump’s chief weapon – perceived unpredictability – can be neutered by consistent push back.

In the case of Greenland she said the resistance “worked because a critical mass of our allies said ‘no, not like, we will negotiate. We’ll do this. We will do that’


I believe that the EU can take down young Shitler by thorough investigation of the Trump-Epstein pedo, blackmail and money-laundering empire, in their case, with emphasis on Putin's part. The DOJ (Defenders of Jeffrey) will conceal the hard facts.

Poland and France have already begun investigations.

It's to note, the song and dance from "The Producers" (1967)

Winter for Donald and company.
Springtime for Poland and France.


Lady Liberty will stick it to him.


Thrump will NOT colonize the EU.

EU does not want to be slave to U.S. tech giants who have settled firmly in the Fuhrer's ass.
Shame on them all and boycott them to hell (don't ask me how)

I doubt if there will ever be French or British tanks in the streets of Washington, D.C.
