Papst kritisiert den Versuch der USA, das Bündnis zwischen den USA und Europa zu beenden, und betont die Rolle Europas im Frieden in der Ukraine

>Pope Leo XIV criticized the Trump administration for sidelining Europe in Ukraine peace negotiations, arguing such an approach is unrealistic.

European leaders are always welcomed to step up to the plate and lead the negotiation at any time. The American president is leading because we don’t do anything about it, it’s simple as that. If we were a credible threat, Russia would take us seriously and negotiate with us.

Would rather they just come out and say it. The pretend alliance BS is more irritating imo.

There is ZERO benefit for America from the trump admin’s attitude towards EUROPE, ZERO!!! A weakened Europe only benefits our enemies, specially Russia. A strong Europe, is a strong ally which works as a bulwark against russian expansionism. Remember, US isolationism produced the conditions that led to the Lousitania sinking and the Pearl Harbour attack!!!

Guys I’m not happy with what the USA does right now. But r/Europe got flooded by ruzzians bots talking Americans trying to antagonize EU and USA even more. Just keep this in mind and get your emotions checked from time to time, we can’t have America fudge us over, but dancing like ruzzia wants it’s even worse. Spread the warning!

Trump and his regime are a bunch of unqualified, ignorant imbeciles who understand almost nothing about how much the U.S. and EU economies depend on each other.
