Guardian: Europe must defend its values ​​against the US

In his editorial, the Guardian criticized DJ Venus, Vice President of the US President DJ Venus at the Munich Security Summit and his attacks on the European Union: Vladimir Putin at the Munich Security Conference in Munich Security Conference. He surprised the West with an unpredictable attack on the international order after year 2. He said America has made a mono -pointed world in which “there is a master, a ruler.”

Nearly two decades later, we are now confronted with a worrying speech by the US Vice President. Venus was expected to focus on Ukraine at the Munich conference on Ukraine after a week when Donald Trump was unilaterally ready to negotiate for a ceasefire agreement. Instead, he used the podium as a pulpit to blame Washington’s European allies on issues such as multicultural, immigration and social media regulations. Unbiased, the Trump administration now actively encourages extremist right parties such as Alternative to Germany.

A month after Trump’s launch, Venus and other senior officials, such as Ilan Musk, are full of ideological pride and self -esteem. But the Vice President’s use of the Maga -style cultural war rhetoric (Trump’s supporters) to attack European governments was more than insulting.
In a very bad way, it also destroyed the idea of ​​”West” that has a common fundamental values.

In the post -Cold War era, the transcriptive alliance was based on a common commitment to the international norms that the White House expresses with ridiculous humiliation.

Trump’s cruel trading approach is intertwined with Hobby’s pessimism – he is determined to abuse Ukraine’s vulnerability to seize 5 % of its rare minerals under favorable conditions.

Thomas Hobbes initiated reasoning and rationality in political philosophy, and though emphasized the necessity of the king (or sultan), he did not consider divine blessing as a reason for this, and with any reasoning outside rationality (based on nature or religious beliefs) Opposed.

Europe must quickly learn to adapt itself to the United States of isolation, which considers an ideological and economic rival.

Conflicts and exchanges are inevitable. Venus’s criticism of “digital censorship” in Europe is a prelude to future efforts to abandon US Technology Companies through the EU digital service law. In the case of security and defense, climatic measures, and transactive trade conditions, European countries must find an alliance to stand up to “US First” bullying tactics and begin to establish more basis for strategic and economic independence.

The crisis session today (Monday) on Ukraine in Paris, requested by French President Emmanuel Macron in the short term, is a step in the right direction. Among the justified fear of the neo -non -peripheral separation, the assurance that Europe, along with Ukraine itself, play a complete role in any future negotiations with Putin, is essential – especially given that the United States’ apparent expectation to monitor the outcome.

Europe slowly realized the consequences of the new competitive and multipurpose world in which transcontinental bonds no longer linked. The new reality will be revealed with Trump’s bluff, melee and marginalization. After Venus’s trip to Munich, leaders can hardly say that they have not been warned. Now the task is to find ways to protect the European model from a sinister US government that wants to see Europe’s defeat.
