It never ceases to amaze me the contortions some people put themselves through to make this US administration seem sane or even vaguely interested in the flourishing of Europe, Canada or the wider west.

It's not contortions, it's the truth, since these points have nothing to do with this US administration specifically.

Contortions is trying to blame EU's multi decade political faults on Trump.

  Germany: Ties its economy to Russia despite warnings from the US

  Russia: Invades Ukraine

  Germany: Destroys its manufacturing economy after energy prices spike from decoupling from Russian gas

  Germany and libs/dems: This is all Trump's fault

Watch Trump's meetings with NATO from 2016-2019 on Youtube. He's saying exactly the same things about Europe, but nicer.

Nice didn't work. Even Russia invading a European county didn't work. Europe's head has been firmly planted in the sand for too long.

  • When the US points out faults with what EU is doing, the EU just digs its heels deeper out of spite, instead of self reflecting that maybe the US might be right.
