Branko, you are going to get an indigestion picking so many red cherries.

Europe is bracing for something more important than blabbler. Trump is as usual a factor of uncertainty, mostly because he is probably not that very certain on how he intends to do things.

It is of course normal that the US calls the shots, that is nothing new, however you appraisal of Europe not having a say is unrealistic. At the moment there is a deal that allows a great influence of the US in Europe and that is fine. However, it is not the only possible deal and if the US behaves erratically Europe will take matters into it's own hands. This applies to self-defence, military brute power, military technology and international diplomacy. If something has been proven constant in history is adaptation.

Trumps attitude may be actually what Europe needs to wake up from the dream of being peaceful in a world at war. Unfortunately we will change the peace dividend for the weapons dividend. On regards to the US, well, I am not sure Trump understands the difference between an ally and a serf, but he is about to find out if plans for tariffs are kept.

Here have a present for you:
