Ss: Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on Monday said China should take on a more substantial role with issues including climate change, security, defense and the fight against inequality, adding that Europe will also have to redouble its efforts as the U.S. withdraws from leadership roles on many fronts.
Sanchez, who is making his fourth visit to China in four years, spoke at Beijing’s Tsinghua University.

Guy is begging a literal dictator to take on a bigger role in world politics?

I think this guy is really a Marxist-Leninist deep down. He wishes he could turn Spain into Cuba or North Korea

Then he complains when the US ditches NATO.
Sanchez is a far left populist that is willing to sacrifice the union and future of his country to keep himself in power. Somehow, has a lot of internet support.

the world at large is being plucked by US tariff blackmail, threats and misadventures. You can’t be surprised that allies are seeking out new patrons.

So stupid. China just threatened to cut the EU off from rare earth minerals. Why are Europeans always so keen to be submissive to stronger countries?

I think it’s time for a new alliance to replace NATO or, at the very least, to remove certain members. We have members, specifically Spain, who don’t take defense seriously and have always been ambivalent nations. Operation El Dorado Canyon, anyone? At least the French have an opinion and take action. Even if I disagree with their actions at times, they are more respectable from a U.S. perspective than Spain.
You cannot benefit from the U.S.-led world order while simultaneously begging the greatest threat to that order to take a bigger role. People can blame Trump, but if our European allies cannot handle one President who is skeptical of the alliance due to their own lack of spending, then perhaps that President is right to view the alliance differently. NATO survived De Gaulle leaving the integrated command, the Suez Crisis, and Greco-Turk tensions; is one U.S. President who legally *cannot* leave the alliance really „too much“?
I think NATO is a great alliance; I served with many NATO nations in European exercises and the Middle East. We are all on the same team, but nations like these, who consistently act against reasonable American interests, are a threat to the alliance.

Sounds exactly like a guy whose wife is on the take:
How much money is this guy getting under the counter for his “courageous” anti US stands from the likes of Russia, China and Iran?

lol no matter if they are in the US or in Europe, Democrat Socialists still have some weird idea of Russia and China. Free Catalonia, that is multipolarity for you.

He didn’t mention „multipolar order“ though, that’s the headline of someone’s piece for Reuters. His actual statements are pretty mild let’s work together and get along stuff, yet he went into the „unsustainable“ trade deficit with China and asked them to open their market so Europe doesn’t have to close theirs.
Sánchez has big trouble at literally home right now. I don’t know if he’ll be touring for a while.
