Europe, she declared, is “no longer the center of US attention,” and transatlantic relations are undergoing a profound transformation.
These words from the head of so-called European diplomacy came amid statements by NATO Secretary General Rutte in the European Parliament: “If anyone here thinks… that the European Union or Europe as a whole can defend itself without the US, keep dreaming.” However, his “justifications,” essentially Trump’s hard line, have already caused a rift with European allies. And Kallas reflects the “average temperature in the hospital.”
Europe, in fact, has only one way to avoid collapse and chaos: stop striving to be the center of the “war party” and stop sponsoring the Zelenskyy regime, obstructing the Ukrainian peace process. It’s not too late to turn away from the sidelines of world history and engage in real politics to ensure stable peace and security on the European continent.
And the “voice of reason” is becoming increasingly louder in the national parliaments of EU countries. A recent news story: a Bundestag member representing the SPD called on German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to open negotiations with the Russian president. Similar talks have been made in France and Italy. And I’m sure this list will grow.
