Trump leaks text messages from NATO Allies exposing their hypocrisy

[Raze]

Trump has begun leaking texts from NATO allies

First he leaked from Macron. Then Mark Rutte the Secretary General of NATO.

Notice Macron supports trumps aggression towards Syria and Iran, idiotic given how much damage the Syrian refugee crisis caused and Macron continued to empower the US to strangle and attack Iran likely risking another crisis. But he draws the line when it effects Greenland.

Mark Rutte is just pathetic and shows how Europe continuing to enable US aggression has lead to this.

First, lol its so funny how all of them write in a way so Trump understands them and to nourish his narcissism. 

Second, WHAT !? 

Somebody explain 

Is this Trump exposing other leaders to make him look like he is the one exposing other people when he is the one getting exposed on the Epstein files?

[Apparition of Jack]

There’s also the possibility that Trump made these the fuck up. He’s a liar, after all.

Which is why you can't have someone like this at the top. The rot spreads from the top down.

Unironically. If they acted more tough he'd respect them more. It's because they try to appease him that he thinks that they are beneath them.

Nah I think its all calculated. Look at what happened to Selensky when he stood his ground.

Macron be like “we’re on the same page with bombing brown people in Middle East, but your picking on junior partners of the imperial core now? Common Donny”

Europe morally grandstands and condems empire while living off it - which is nauseating to many outside the West and increasingly those within it.

They outsourced the hard work of survival and security to be under a US military umbrella, vassalizing themselves whilst largely benefitting from the imperial arrangement as junior partners. They’ve been complicit in sanctions programmes and much US imperial adventurism - whilst acting as if their beyond power and survival dynamics living in some garden of Eden with sub 1% military spending because their so enlightened.

Ironically France has the most strategic autonomy thanks to De Gaulle. The entire continent now has to pursue that together, stop virtue signalling and start capacity building. 

Carney was brilliant today:

The leaders of Europe need to adopt much of his mindset - pragmatic not ideological. Know your strengths and weaknesses, plug your vulnerabilities through diversification, play powers off each other rather than hitching solely to one which can then dictate to you and whose head of state you call daddy like an utter retard.

A reductive but helpful framing is Atlanticist vs continentalist. Europe is connected to the largest landmass on earth (Eurasia) with access to the most resources, markets, trade corridors (Mackinder world island). But the UK and then US tugged Europe into the Atlanticist orbit of both empires. Greenland trade corridors opening up with melting ice allows Europe-Asian trade and integration outside of US control, meaning Europe gains in strategic autonomy and leverage.

Theres a reason many powers have bases all along the Red Sea. Trade corridors provide leverage and deny any one power monopoly over choke points. A trade corridor with solely Eurasian oversight (China, Russia, Europe) gives Europe optionality and leverage against a Atlanticist empire wanting keep Europe hitched to its orbit. Hence the capping of Europe strategic autonomy via military (NATO under US command) and energy (Nordstream anyone?).

The US basically has a kill switch on European military similar to how China has a kill switch on US military via rare earths - hence the scramble and panic to lock down potential resources and trade corridors while they can, on the cheap. This is imperial geostrategic positioning in a desperate bid to maintain primacy under constraints and pressure in a changing world.

Institutional inertia and ideology has locked in a Atlanticist logic that is now being tested by reality slapping Europe across the face. The way the US is brashly acting to maintain this status quo and the structural pressures upon Europe (economically, energetically, public humiliation and domestic discontent) should cause them to *painfully* adapt to the new world as Carney laid out.
