Applebaum: At the same time the U.S. says it’s stepping back, it’s supporting far-right politicians and think tanks in Europe, movements that are pro-Russian, oppose defense spending, and undermine European unity. So people ask: which is it? What is U.S. policy really? 1/

Pulitzer Prize-winning author and The Atlantic staff writer Anne Applebaum, highlights a contradictory message from the U.S. administration: while encouraging Europe to rearm and be strong, the U.S. is also supporting far-right, pro-Russian movements in Europe that oppose the very unity and defense spending needed for that strength. “But I think just to go back for a second, you know, the message from the United States in the various different speeches that are given at Munich and elsewhere is now somewhat strange because the message to Europe is: "Okay, we want you to rearm, we want you to rearm, we want you to be strong, we're not going to be there to help you, or maybe not, or maybe a little bit, maybe with some nuclear weapons if it's absolutely necessary." But, you know, you'll have to make a guess about that. And at the same time, exactly at the same time, the administration is supporting far-right politicians in Europe, sometimes with bear hugs, as you say, and sometimes perhaps with money. They've said they will be supporting far-right think tanks and movements with State Department funding. And these movements are pro-Russian. They are opposed to defense spending. They are opposed to the European unity that is necessary for Europe to revive itself and revive its defense industries. And so people feel, you know, which is it? I mean, they're telling us—Americans are telling us—they're leaving, but at the same time, they're helping out the people who would prevent Europe from being strong. So I think there's a lot of doubt and suspicion about what U.S. policy really—I think it really is.”

"The main problem of Europe is that it is 'undermining itself,'" said U.S. Vice President Vance According to him, this is why Washington is focusing on border security and urging European countries to increase spending on security. At the same time, Vance emphasized that the U.S. is invested in Europe's prosperity, and disagreements with Brussels are not rooted in disrespect for its allies.

Tetris is older than Ukraine… “This is not Russia’s first war against Ukraine. We are defending much more than just ourselves and our state. It is here, in Ukraine, that the future of Europe is being decided. And these are not empty words — it’s a question of whether Russian missiles and drones will strike cities in other European countries. Whether Russian soldiers will advance further across Europe. It’s a question of which of our European neighbors will be forced to go through the same ordeal that our people are enduring.”

Journalist: “What do you think about Trump wanting European countries to increase their defense spending to 5%?” Swedish PM: We need to do that. We can’t expect the U.S. to be the main sponsor of European defense. Finnish PM: Trump was right when he told European countries to increase their defense spending in 2018. He is right again. Greek PM: The 2% figure is history. It will be higher than 2%. This is what respect for a real American president looks like. America is back.

A U.S. District Court Judge has ruled the Trump administration’s policy to detain and deport foreign pro-Palestinian students is meant to “chill freedom of speech” and is meant to strike fear into noncitizens. CNN: “[The judge says that] people who are noncitizens in the U.S. should be able to have the same free speech protections as citizens.” I’M SORRY, WHAT????

🚨🇺🇸 NATO’s Rutte admitted that Europe has freeloaded off America. But they’re finally stepping up on defense, and he says there’s no going back... The era of Europe treating the U.S. as its sugar daddy is apparently over.

🇷🇺 Reporter to former Russian President Medvedev: "It’s actually quite amusing to watch how relations between the U.S. and Europe are developing.” If Europe and Russia align their goals against the U.S.? Now that's scary. If Russia and the U.S. align their goals against Europe? Well... then is game over." Source: APT

Our message is clear and strong: EPP can’t claim to defend Europe while siding with those who want to destroy it. The future of the EU demands courage and a pro-European alliance, not deals with the far right that seeks to undermine it.
