On Wednesday, European Council President Donald Tusk tweeted the following:
"Looking at latest decisions of @realDonaldTrump someone could even think: with friends like that who needs enemies. But frankly, EU should be grateful. Thanks to him we got rid of all illusions. We realise that if you need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of your arm. 8:36 AM - May 16, 2018"
The vacuous stupidity of that statement is defined by what lies east and south of Brussels, where Tusk is based.
Tusk's is the most pathetically ironic of tweets. He fires off his tweets while sitting secure in his office shielded by Europe's alliance with America. Now the European liberal intelligentsia applaud Tusk's insults to Trump, and thus to America, but soon they shall go to bed secured under the umbrella of American security.
Unfortunately, Tusk's attitude is an increasingly common refrain in Europe, shared, for example, by German Chancellor Angela Merkel who claims that Europe now handles its own security (it doesn't).
But if rendered to its fullest actuation (America's withdrawal of friendship from Europe) Tusk's arrogance would render truth to Europe in the hardest form. Or as Shakespeare put it in "Henry V": "His jest will savor but of shallow wit, when thousands weep more than did laugh at it."

He’s an ‘unelected’ jerk just like the past one.....why they appoint these men is beside me...they make a fool of the EU!
Europe is lost...beyond redemption.We have no friends in Europe today.
We should just disolve NATO, move our forces forward into the Eastern Bloc and tell Western Europe to kiss our ass.
Well “president” Tusk.....This is a lesson we Americans learned long ago. We know damn good and well we hardly have any real friends or allies on the continent. We know we cannot count on you. Or should I say, we’ve long since learned that you’ll always be there - when you need us.
Over and above the fact that we know we cannot count on you if the SHTF, we’ve also learned that many of you Yurps will take every opportunity to try to stab us in the back in order to further your own political interests - or simply pocket a bit more blood money from this or that godawful tyrant.
Its long past time we went our separate ways.
UNaccountable Eurocrat...not unlike our UNaccountable bureaucrats or elected “representatives” held to no standard by their dumbed-down constituents.
The EC is useless....
His daughters will be raped by Africans. Who cares what he thinks.
....”Let the Soviets and the Islamist fight over the corpse of the European carcass”....
That is exactly what we’re going to see in time and tide.
There will be a time when they will need us to fight for thev again.....be sure of it
They’re already bellying up to China to save the day!
I just found it amazing he’d even dare speak as that knowing full well the military protection the Eu has with our military might surrounding even his place!
Tusk? Why don’t you tell me what’s going on?
Yes, we will. Maybe in our lifetime.
However I do feel sympathy for the Polish people.
First suffering under the hob nailed boots of the Nazis only to be replaced by the iron clad boots of the Soviets.
They cannot get a break.
Donald Tusk IS the Polish joke.
“We realise that if you need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of your arm. 8:36 AM - May 16, 2018”
Well, it’s about time! I think that after more than 70 years sucking of the American Taxypayers tit, should be long enough for Europe to “get on it’s feet” after WWII, one would think! Time for US Forces to come home from Europe. With the modern weapons systems, having a standing army in Europe to “protect it” thus allowing them to build their “socialist utopia” on our dime, needs to end now.
“There will be a time when they will need us to fight for thev again.....be sure of it”
As things stand, when that call comes, we should not answer it!
Did this idiot name himself after a Fleetwood Mac album?
