King of Spain warns about the risk of ‘dismantling’ the link between Europe and the US

The King is right here, we cannot afford to let the relations deteriorate to a point of no return, we must try to keep them alive, despite Trump’s moronic foreign policy towards Europe. We are threatened by Russia, and a collapse of transatlantic relations would put us all at a huge risk, especially if it pushes Trump closer to Russia.

Maybe it’s time.

Thanks dear Spanish friends for saying it loud 🇪🇸🤝🇨🇵

So you’re saying that we should ditch America?

As a republican Spaniard, these days the far-right, isolationist tendencies have me agreeing with this guy way more often than I would like.

Yes and no. We have learned that America can’t be blindly trusted, so we very much should begin to claw back the independence we have outsourced to America for a good while.

It seems the King of Spain still fails to grasp what outrages Europeans most.

Neither Trump nor members of Congress have ever given a single reason why the United States repeatedly delivers — whether verbally, diplomatically, or in trade — a slap in the face to Europe.

Europe does not deserve such treatment from the United States.

Therefore, every subsequent concession Europe makes stems not from respect for a unified stance, but from coercion by force.

We do not need politicians who are merely lackeys. For that, we don’t need politicians at all.

Who the fuck asked him. We should dismantle the link between the EU and the US as much as the monarchy imposed by Franco.

Remember which side broke it. We either accept it and move on or be subservient to a peadophile Temu dictator in America

A king in this century should either abdicate or shut up.

Why are all the top comments calling for division with the US.

That’s EXACTLY what Russia wants.

This sub is fucked.

Man pops out of another man’s balls and is for some reason given money and a platform

Well it’s not really out of choice that that relationship is being severed is it? What is Europe supposed to do? Keep pretending they have a deep long-term strategic relationship with a power that’s not only adamant on undermining the EU from within but conventionally threatens its territory? There’s a lot of cognitive dissonance at work here. 

I can’t remember the last time a statement from their made proper news headline.

Dismantling the link isn’t something Europe is choosing though. That is been driven by MAGA.

I’d suggest assuming it’s going to be dismantled, and acting as though the US is no longer there, is in both Europe’s interest and probably in the interest of the US too.

If you read the article, his speech is way less dramatic and shows common sense and decency. This was in the context of Spains diplomatic missions and modern monarchs are most useful for international trade missions etc … as people in the rest of the world still fawn over them. They are also more consistent than PMs and Presidents that come and go so quickly.

The title makes him sound clueless but the speech does not. He is mainly just being diplomatic.

Spain should maybe re-conquer a chunk of the US.

Yeah man, everybody knows. But you gotts draw a line somewhere.

Spain is about the only EU country speaking out. All the others think telling Trump how good he is and showing him the increases they are paying into NATO will calm him. As stupid as the US is, Europe is once again in appeasement mode. As an America, know that he thinks the leaders are weak and they will all run to him if he says stupid stuff. Trump is still controlling the game. Not to mention inviting the far right parties to America to form closer ties. Please wake up- this is not the Biden/Bush or Obama administration 

“…indispensable framework […] that emerged from the ashes of the Second World War” and has fostered the flourishing of democracies, stability, growth, and the development of multilateralism. “

Dude.  This current regime and its supporters despise all of that.

The US wants it. Let them. They are litetally enemies at this point
