    Macron, Russia and European Defense

    The French president sees a leadership vacuum in Europe that he wants to fill. Angry about Mr. Trump’s unpredictability and seeing him as a harbinger of a disengaged America, Mr. Macron is arguing for more “strategic autonomy” for Europe, including the ability to defend itself.

    But many in NATO, including Germany, Poland and the nations of the Baltics and Central Europe, say Europe cannot deter Russia without the United States and its nuclear umbrella.

    They are also troubled by Mr. Macron’s claim that terrorism, not Russia or China, is the main threat to NATO, and by his outreach to President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia.

    “If we want to build peace in Europe, to rebuild European strategic autonomy, we need to reconsider our position with Russia,” Mr. Macron declared in the same interview in which he diagnosed NATO’s brain. Poland’s foreign minister, Jacek Czaputowicz, even suggested that France is “the Trojan horse of Russia.’’

    As for European strategic autonomy, few believe that Europeans would spend the huge amounts necessary to be credible. Some think that France would be even less dependable than the United States in defending a small NATO member like Montenegro or Estonia.

    American policymakers should not worry too much, argued James Dobbins, a former American official now at the RAND Corporation. “Experience suggests that such initiatives will not get very far,’’ he wrote. “But more important, it would be good, not bad, for the United States if these efforts succeeded. The United States would welcome a more equal partnership with a more united Europe, distant though that prospect may be.’’

    At the end of the London meeting, the NATO secretary general, Jens Stoltenberg, still managed to present the appearance of unity. The final declaration recommitted the alliance to collective defense and its spending goals, and Mr. Macron got agreement on a new study of NATO’s future strategy, termed in NATO-speak, “a forward-looking reflection process,’’ under Mr. Stoltenberg, “to further strengthen NATO’s political dimension including consultation.’’

    Default "Our polling confirms that Trump is toxic in Europe"

    Only 4% Of Europeans Trust Donald Trump

    Three years into the presidency of Donald Trump, a new survey has found that Europeans have rapidly lost trust in the United States as an ally...

    “Our polling confirms that Trump is toxic in Europe, and that this is feeding into distrust of the U.S. Security Guarantee,” says report author Susi Dennison, director of the European Power programme at ECFR

    Remember he was going to restore respect to the United States? Three years later they laugh him out of the continent.

    Trump had to run home, or suffer more embarrassment.

    Never thought I'd see the day a President would kiss as much European ass as Obama did. Maybe that's why you pucker up to his black ass. You saw him pucker to the world leaders.

    The important take-away here is that our best friend and ally in the world, Britain, hates Republican Presidents, and has an affinity for Democratic Presidents.

    What does the U. S. think of British prime ministers?

    I haven't paid attn.
    US politics has been a spin ride of hot air packaged around a phone call that was no quid,
    ....anyhow all I see is Macron as a 'de Gaulle wanna be' - taking over from the retiring Merkel as "leader" of Europe
