European Council President Donald Tusk has said that the United States is not interested in a “strong, united” Europe and called nationalism a “fundamental threat” to the European Union.
The former Prime Minister of Poland turned top Eurocrat made the comments at a speech in his home country on Saturday, the day before Poland celebrated the 100th anniversary of its rebirth as an independent state, with Poles taking part in a march through Warsaw on Sunday condemned by the mainstream media as “far-right” nationalism.
“For the first time in history we have an American administration which, to put it delicately, is not very enthusiastically tuned in to a united, strong Europe,” Tusk said.
Tusk’s notion that his vision of Poland may be different to that of the President of the United States does appear to be shared by the current Polish administration, after the country’s ambassador to the U.S. and the U.S. ambassador to Poland penned a joint article hailing the strong ties between the two countries that have been developed under President Trump, writing that “the bond between the United States and Poland is stronger than ever.”
Tusk also criticised the rise of “nationalism,” calling it a “fundamental threat” to the EU and saying it is “illustrated most clearly by Brexit.”
“I am talking here about the rise of nationalism and anti-European, not only rhetoric, but also anti-European emotion, in many European capitals,” the European Council President said, referring to the “lunatic parade” of Eurosceptics and patriots that “began a few years ago in the United Kingdom.”

Check posts 24-29....We were talking about Hitler “unifying” Europe...
Do you really think the British gave a hoot about the bloody frogs?
Well they certainly fought for them in WWI. Britain should have stayed out of it, and shored up their Empire. They needed a "Brexit" in 1914.
Hitler wanted the Japanese to invade Siberia.
But the Japanese had already had a couple of go-rounds with Soviets at Lake Khasan and Khalkhin Gol and did not want any more of that.
That freed up the Soviet forces in Siberia to fight the Germans and probably changed the outcome of WWII.
Yep, they went up against a General named "Zhukov".
The Euro Weenies are in a snit because Trump won’t let them suckle at the American teet anymore.
They’ve been getting rich at our expense. Enough! Time to wean and stand or fall on your own. America has done Enough for Europe!!
No, they fought to keep the Channel coast in neutral Belgian hands.
>> but had to jump in to maintain the neutrality of the channel coast. <<
I’m sure you’re being terribly unfair when you make it sound like Liebensraum.
It was the Brits who believed that there were no permanent friends, nor permanent enemies, only permanent interests.
