Trump is not a hero to the majority of Europeans, no way,

Britain just left the EU. Seems to me the new American administration should be the least of their worries.

Trump, is a perfect foil to blame because it follows the age old practice of blaming someone that can't vote and he represents nationalism which is shaking the EU to it's core now.

Funny to note the guy is blaming "radical islam" as well.

Basically, it's a cry for help that the US and it's citizens are getting tired of footing the bill for European protection and foreign involvment.

Russia is a shadow of their former self, nukes are still deterrents so um, what exactly is the purpose of all those US bases in Europe?
Rep, well put!

An increasingly, let us call it, assertive China, especially on the seas, Russia's aggressive policy towards Ukraine and its neighbours, wars, terror and anarchy in the Middle East and in Africa, with radical Islam playing a major role, as well as worrying declarations by the new American administration all make our future highly unpredictable.

For the first time in our history, in an increasingly multipolar external world, so many are becoming openly anti-European, or Eurosceptic at best. Particularly the change in Washington puts the European Union in a difficult situation; with the new administration seeming to put into question the last 70 years of American foreign policy."

"We cannot surrender to those who want to weaken or invalidate the Transatlantic bond, without which global order and peace cannot survive. We should remind our American friends of their own motto:
United we stand, divided we fall"

Donald Tusk says Donald Trump poses existential threat to Europe | The Independent
An "assertive China"? Am I a too outspoken negro too liberal? I don't recall China colonizing the UK, France, Italy, Spain, or the f---ing United States. But guess who did take their "assertive" a$&es around the globe, including into China swallowing up most the earth's land mass? That is not a matter of my subjective opinion but a matter of objective historical [and military] fact. More a fact then "intelligent alien life living on other planets and riding in to visit earth in UFO alien flying crafts."




Even liberal feminists of Afro-centric social science departments in American universities would take issue not only with that wording but the fundamental underlying proposition, particularly from an historical persepective.

But you know who you could sucker into that BS claim spouted from the EU? Most your Black-American Democrats. As they are unable, most of them, to form a critical thought outside their mental puppet masters in the Democratic Party. And they have the never to talk about Roman Catholics listening to a long line of Popes.

But then, black people wonder how the hell they got where they are. Well white people always get black people (or Amerindians, or Asians, or whoever) to police the white peoples plantation.

China is not floating it's warships in the Gulf of Mexico off of the shores of Southern US states. No, the US is floating its warships in the South China Sea. By the way, does that word "China" in "South China Sea" provide us in the US any f---ing hint? I know we tend (myself included) to be bad at geography. But I'm thinking that hint is those waters are far away from Louisiana but pretty damn close to China and other Asian countries.

I respect him keeping his campaign promises but I think he should back down on this immigration ban for now.. the threat of terrorism is somewhat overstated. Fight ISIS, but don't necessarily ban people from certain countries if they have the proper paperwork.

We haven't had any terrorist attack here since 2001.. terrorism is like the big boogeyman they use to justify just about anything but really.. simply keeping out refugees for now is a great start.

Somehow I doubt there's anything he could do to satisfy the left though.. still, I'm very undecided on the need for this ban.

The globalists have had globalist leaders for so long the globalists seem to control everything now.. so naturally they're going to be a little upset. This ban doesn't affect me.. but it does seem unnecessary perhaps... but if I thought lifting this ban would appease them I'd be more for it.. since I know nothing will appease them, I don't care if he lifts it or not. Let them squirm.

There's a disconnect between governments around the world and the people.. just because the government/globalist owned media says things, doesn't mean people agree with them. What we have now is simply put a media and elite that represent themselves, and not the people.

They're wrong. People have been saying that since 1776. The Democrats on the other hand just might implode.
