EU's Donald Tusk sees Trump as threat to Europe
BBC ^ | 1/31/17

European Council President Donald Tusk has warned that "worrying declarations" from US President Donald Trump are among the challenges faced by the EU.

He said the change in Washington was part of an external threat that also included an assertive China, an aggressive Russia and radical Islam.

In a letter to 27 European leaders, Mr Tusk also said he believed most of them agreed with him.

Several statements from Washington have prompted alarm in Europe's capitals.

In his letter, issued ahead of an EU summit in Malta this week, Mr Tusk said the new US administration placed the EU in a "difficult situation" as it appeared to "put into question the last 70 years of American foreign policy".

He concluded: "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."

Why do they even pay lip service to NATO when (a) they refuse to pay their share and (b) they are busy surrendering their sovereignty to an invading army (of bogus refugees)?

If the future challenge is a global showdown between the Judaeo-Christian world and Islam, then Europe is at best a neutral and at worst a hostile combatant.

If the challenge is to stand up to Chinese hegemony, then we can expect almost no support from Europe.

If the challenge is to overthrow the totalitarian impulses of political correctness, then Europe is a clearly defined hostile party.

About the only thing we share is a love of good food and football, oh wait a minute, two different kinds of both of those. Well, there’s beer.

Why don’t you ask him if he’s going to stay?
Why don’t you ask him if he’s going away?
Why don’t you tell me what’s going on?
Why don’t you tell me who’s on the phone?
Why don’t you ask him what’s going on?
Why don’t you ask him who’s the latest on the throne?
Don’t say that you love me!
Just tell me that you want me!
Tusk! Tusk! Tusk! Tusk!
