I think the Americans have already said this openly a hundred times: they have countries in Europe that they favor more.
Which means there are others.
And they don’t like the EU because, individually, EU countries are weaker than the US.
So people are only just now realizing that the US is an enemy of the EU?
Non vogliono dividerla, l’hanno già fatto, chi non è per un Europa unita è perché è stata già pagato in dollari! La Meloni non so se lo fa perché le piace o perché è sotto scacco, ma di fatto se l’Italia e la Germania fossero compatte con Francia Spagna Inghilterra e Polonia, l’Europa non avrebbe nulla da temere. Ma i soldi americani già hanno fatto il lavoro sporco!
Strange this is also what russia wants

Starting with Italy, Austria, Poland and Hungary
United we stand, divided we fall 🇪🇺
The entire foreign policy history of USA has been to hinder and limit the formation of competitive blocks of power. As Europe federalizes the more hostile the transatlantic relationship will become.
Well, yeah. Hello.
America first, remember?
Weak Europe is good for America and at least since trump that’s obvious they don’t mind having Europe weak.
Are you for example aware that the immigration crisis we had in last two decades is mostly because of the USA and their shit stirring strategy in the middle east?
No shit, Sherlock.
We know.
They’ve been telling us that for about a year now.
The US has always wanted “to keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down”
Cool, so lets start prosecuting politicians with foreign connections?
Kallas and Von Der Leyen support if Isreal and a genocide is doing the heavy lifting on dividing Europeans
Divide et impera. They didn’t even come up with that strategy but took it from European 😉
Putin-adjacent USA, yes of course they do
they want whatever Russia wants
Well its good to have EU politicians repeat this, but the US put it in black and white in their own national security strategy.

>We want to support our allies in preserving the freedom and security of Europe, while restoring Europe’s civilizational self-confidence and Western identity;
>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
Yeah it means exactly what it sounds like

Divide Europe, Russia and China; acquiring Venezuela, Greenland, and then Canada (or even Iceland? ), Trump will make USA to be big Rome?
What gave it away?
Kallas tells the world she has read the public memo from the US adminstration boasting about wanting to demolish the EU and subjugated Europe
US is actively working to divide Europe. It treats it as a rival and not an ally. This predates Trump but has cranked up a level.
Why the surprise? Throughout my lifetime US governments have been interested only in the US. The difference we have now is that we have a transactional, far right US administration that cannot see beyond the immediate, and a US president that is more interested in himself than his responsibilities.
So in short, this US administration is making it plain what we should have all known all along: The US is, at best, a fair weather friend, and right now not at all.
Our choice is between servitude or independence from Washington.
Realistically, our orange monkey king has united Europe more than Russia ever did. Gave them a new common enemy
Europe consumed more mixed energy this year than fossil, we showing a different way ahead and they shutting it down.
Good luck with that.
Focus on your own shithole; let us deal with our problems here. Turns out that slowly de-coupling from the US isn’t as painful as a lot of Europeans thought.
News is not that the US sees the EU as an enemy but that the EU is openly acknowledging this more and more often.
The nation, that just gave Russia the financial lifeline to continue waging war in Europe, wants Europe divided? Say it aint so!
And the whole of the far right and certain far left groups are literally paving the way….
yes Kallas. Now do something about it
Sometimes I think I could be a politician. You just have to regurgitate obvious statements that any everyday Joe has known for at least 6 months and make it sound like an epiphany.
How is this even news? I mean US officials are saying and doing this for months, wtf are EU officials doing about it? Oh yes, just restating the obvious, but hell, even taxpayers do more like boicoting US products and services.
DO SOMETHING!
Now, to be fair…by now I would not mind a divided US either. Might stop them from fucking up the World’s trade for five minutes.
WE KNOW! THEY ARE VERY OPEN ABOUT IT!
Captain Obvious in new adventures. Bring this woman a cape.
Edit: the astonishing thing with this story is that Kallas is actually saying it loud. Wouldn’t ever expect it.
It’s not really a secret. This is why they support Europe’s far-right.
We are doing it ourselves.
Isn’t that obvious?
