German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier has strongly criticised U.S. foreign policy under President Donald Trump and urged the world not to let the world order disintegrate into a “den of robbers” where the unscrupulous take what they want.
In unusually strong remarks, which appeared to refer to actions such as the ousting of Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro at the weekend, the former foreign minister said global democracy was being attacked as never before.
The GOP is a disgrace. Trump is a disease. More democracy is the cure and we should be ready as Europeans to defend ourselves at all costs.

Yes.
We know.
That’s the plan.
Did nobody read the GOP Project 2025 playbook on how to rig the electoral system & move from global hegemony to Imperial style “sphere of Influence” politics. ????

That’s been the plan all along. Putin’s king and Trump is his submissive queen.

Yeah, because trump really doesn‘t want to talk about the epstein files, or the fact that he has not really improved anyone‘s life aside from billionaires or republican politicians.

Recreating Monarchy with Billionaires at the top.
Putin really played the rich into making a world where he has control.

As much as I hate the current US regime, the EU has been sitting on their hands for decades on the international front and doing fuck all. I’m not saying they are to blame, but they sure as shit haven’t done much to help.
American diplomacy should continue to stand up for genuine democracy, freedom of expression, and unapologetic celebrations of European nations’ individual character and history. America encourages its political allies in Europe to promote this revival of spirit, and the growing influence of patriotic European parties indeed gives cause for great optimism.
Ending the perception, and preventing the reality, of NATO as a perpetually expanding alliance

They mean some of the ideology Germany helped create and the countries around the world adopted.

Yes! Clearly, obviously. That’s feature for many Republicans not a bug, especially the crazy conspiracy nuts always harping on about “globalist new world order” bullshit
The US just keeps shooting itself in the foot over and over. Fuck you very much every Trump voter out there

It’s trying to employ it’s own world order, by the right of the strongest weapon. The US is basically Nazi Germany 1939.

**The Trump Regime is definitionally a hostile terrorist organization:**
A terrorist organization is generally defined as a group **using or threatening violence** for **political**, **religious**, or **ideological goals**, aiming to **create fear** and **coe**r**ce** **governments or populations**, often **targeting civilians or non-combatants**.
key characteristics include:
– politically motivated violence
– intimidation tactics,
– an **intent** to influence broader audiences beyond immediate victims.
He has deployed military units into cities and neighborhoods against the civilian population. They use aggressive tactic and overt violence against the civilian population, They are creating an environment of fear by design to achieve control. They’ve gotten rid of due process for a significant civilian population. They’ve sent their military forces into schools, terrorizing children. They’ve sent military forces to intimidate businesses they disagree with. They’re executing mom’s in the street. This is all being done with an intent to influence far beyond the immediate victims.
All this violence, all this fear, all this use of military against our own civilian population, is being done so that the Trump Regime can further advance their political and ideological goals.
The Trump Regime is a terrorist organization.

When China seizes Taiwan using Venezuela and the Donroe Doctrine as a justification, we will be well and truly fucked. We don’t just have a Fascist government, we have an incredibly stupid Fascist government.

You mean the US is not playing world police for everybody at the expense of our future? Europe’s problems are its own.

Starmer, take note. This is how a true leader speaks. Note how he is not absent, does not whisper, does not mince his words, is straight-forward and not mealy-mouthed.
I think you need to take some pointers here.

Can’t blame the US for everything and then expect them to shoulder the burden in Europe. The socialist elites in Europe are now upset that the “world order” that benefited them is now coming to an end.

Stop buying American weapons, tell zelensky: we got your back, you don’t need us security guarantees, send your troops right away to stop the way, stop negotiating with Putin
