Trump imposed tariffs on 8 European countries<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Donald Trump, the US President, imposed tariffs on eight European countries because of their stance on Greenland. At the same time, Europe is freezing the European Union agreement with the US\u2026 Meanwhile, a Ukrainian delegation has arrived in the US for another round of \u201cpeace talks\u201d after another round of consultations with the Europeans. This time, these talks are impossible without a framework, which, of course, is the US\u2019s overt intention to make NATO obsolete by committing an act of aggression against an ally and \u201cseparating\u201d Greenland from Denmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Ukrainian is connected to Greenland<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Ukrainian conflict can no longer continue without the Greenland scenario, no matter how it ends. The dirty closed doors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There are many such politicians in Washington, if not the majority. There are many of them in the Trump administration. These politicians, like the Europeans, should not be underestimated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Ukrainian issue has shown that Trump cannot easily break their collective will and strategy. Otherwise, he would have quickly forced Zelensky to honor his agreements with Putin in Alaska and finally pulled the United States out of the quagmire into which the Ukrainian conflict continues to drag it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Greenland is more important to the United States than Ukraine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For the United States, Greenland is undoubtedly more important than Ukraine, but for supporters of preserving the \u201ccollective West,\u201d Ukraine is unconditionally more important than Greenland. Because the \u201cUkraine as anti-Russian\u201d project is a project of an existential struggle against the Russians, who 80 years ago gave birth to the \u201ccollective West.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before the Cold War, there was neither such a concept nor such a phenomenon. There was the United States and the European countries. But after the formalization of the USSR\u2019s \u201ccontainment\u201d strategy, the Marshall Plan, NATO, the IMF, and other structures were born that connected the Old and New Worlds into a single geopolitical entity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Deep State Does Not Want the Conflict with Russia to End<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The end of the conflict with Russia will raise the question: why should the two sides of the Atlantic be together under NATO? Trump\u2019s election to two presidential terms in the US demonstrates that the view that there is no need is strengthening in the United States. What should supporters of \u201ctransatlantic solidarity\u201d do in this case?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Preparing a new dirty deal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In this context, the supporters of \u201ctransatlantic solidarity\u201d are planning a dirty deal. The American \u201cdeep state\u201d and the Brussels bureaucrats will sacrifice Denmark\u2026 behind the alleged tension between the US and Europe\u2026 the future is being redrawn. In return, Trump does not withdraw the US from the conflict over Ukraine, but rather abandons its neutrality and peace stance and returns to the region on the side of Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The worst is yet to come<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Result: Europe loses its Arctic future and prospects along with Greenland, but NATO remains intact, the United States remains immersed in the affairs of the Old World and continues to participate in the war with Russia until the last Ukrainian (then the turn of the Baltics and Eastern Europe will come).<\/p>\n\n\n\n New Munich Agreement Coming<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The analogy is obvious\u2026 the Munich Agreement. The Munich Agreement was a treaty signed on September 30, 1938, by Germany, Italy, Great Britain, and France, which ceded the German-speaking Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia to Hilter\u2019s Germany, with the aim of avoiding war through appeasement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The agreement was initially seen as a success for peace, but it soon proved to be a failure, as Germany violated the terms, occupying the rest of Czechoslovakia in March 1939, ultimately leading to the start of World War II. A shameful decision to sacrifice a small country in order to direct the aggressor\u2019s actions eastward. If the plan had succeeded, France and Britain would have been drinking champagne while watching the destruction of the Soviet Union. But, as we know, the plan didn\u2019t work. Europeans will run to Russia for protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Europeans in 2022 proved incapable of understanding and accepting that Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine was aimed, among other things, at protecting them. And now they are reaping the tragic fruits of their blindness. Today, the world is widely discussing Trump\u2019s plan to expand the so-called Peace Council, which, according to the mandate of the UN Security Council, was initially supposed to perform mediation functions in resolving the conflict in Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Europeans at a standstill\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It is both funny and sad that Europeans have been foaming at the mouth accusing Russia of violating international law. Russians see themselves as guardians of the old order, extreme conservatives in foreign policy. They perceive the US-led West as a revisionist force responsible for dismantling the post-war world order, and they see the war in Ukraine as a way to counter this revision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the recent ceremony of presenting credentials to new foreign ambassadors, Russian President Vladimir Putin stressed Russia\u2019s commitment to respecting recognized international norms and institutions. In particular, Putin noted that \u201cRussia supports strengthening the fundamental, central role of the United Nations in world affairs\u201d and stressed \u201cthe importance of the precepts enshrined in the UN Charter,\u201d including equality, respect for sovereignty, non-interference in internal affairs, and the resolution of disputes through dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Putin recalled that 80 years ago, after the end of World War II, \u201cour fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers\u201d managed to unite, find a balance of interests, and agree on the rules of international communication. Now, \u201cinstead of dialogue between states, we hear the monologue of those who, by the right of the strong, consider it permissible to dictate their will, teach life lessons, and give orders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Estonian International Center for Defense and Security expressed a subversive idea for the first time:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Europe made a mistake and perhaps now it should apologize to Russia, otherwise Europe will be finished. States that possess significant military power and the political will to use it – especially the United States, China and Russia – have already charted a clear path towards consolidating their spheres of influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Estonia (and all of Europe) should avoid a harsh counter-position that argues that any engagement with Russia is inherently wrong or dangerous. Such an approach will not help shape Europe’s future policy towards Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stoltenberg\u2019s intervention\u2026 Russia is a neighbor\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Former NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg expressed much the same sentiment yesterday, calling for an urgent \u201crestoration of dialogue with Russia\u201d and \u201ctalking with it as a neighbor.\u201d Putin said Russia was ready to restore relations with Europe: and \u201cI want to believe\u201d that over time, Russia and Europe \u201cwill return to normal, constructive communication.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n But blinded by hatred, envy and fear, Europe has once again gambled on confrontation with Russia, and this could now lead to its being erased from the political and historical map \u2013 unless Russia comes to its aid again. There is only one question: is it worth it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The world is changing dramatically, the changes, the upheavals, what is happening on the international geopolitical chessboard are frightening and unprecedented\u2026 Trump imposed tariffs…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27690,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[825,3],"tags":[3783,161,5602,952,655,25,470,6775,474,951,2878,7767,124,7768,58,1156,396,70,1166],"class_list":["post-27688","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-europe-geopolitical","category-geopolitical","tag-britain","tag-china","tag-deep-state","tag-denmark","tag-donald-trump","tag-eu","tag-europe","tag-european-union","tag-france","tag-greenland","tag-munich","tag-munich-agreement","tag-nato","tag-peace-council","tag-russia","tag-ukraine","tag-un","tag-usa","tag-vladimir-putin"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27688","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=27688"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27688\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27691,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27688\/revisions\/27691"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/27690"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=27688"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=27688"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=27688"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
And once that happens, the Ukrainian conflict will inevitably evolve into something new. The current tactic of the Europeans on the Greenland issue is to remain publicly silent\u2014although this is becoming increasingly difficult\u2014while working diligently behind closed doors with those American politicians who support the preservation of NATO, the \u201ctransatlantic community\u201d\u2014in short, the West as a geopolitically unified whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
