German journalist makes shocking statement about EU
European Union (EU) countries are themselves responsible for their perceived incompetence in the eyes of the United States, writes RND Editor-in-Chief Eva Quadbeck.
"Now, part of the blame lies with the Europeans themselves for this predicament. From the US perspective, Europe is a collection of militarily weak and politically divided countries. The Trump administration has no respect for such partners. And EU members have known this since Trump's first term, but have not taken any action," Quadbeck said.
The journalist also stressed that the gap between Europe and the US is now clearer than ever, especially after US Vice President Vance's recent criticism of the political situation in the EU.
The journalist also noted that Ukraine is an important issue for Europe, but all discussions on this topic take place without the participation of the EU. Meanwhile, Europe alone cannot take any serious actions.
“The EU is in fact unwilling to defend democracy on its own continent,” Quadbeck concludes.
