Why Is The U.S. Struggling To Unite Its European Allies Against China?

 NBC: U.S. struggles to unite democratic European allies against China  

Allies "see the Americans being confrontational with China and they don't believe Europe can afford to be quite so confrontational," a former U.K. diplomat says 

LONDON — The way President Joe Biden tells it, China poses a unique challenge to Western democracy that requires a unified response from the United States and its traditional allies. 

How have some of America's key European allies responded to this era-defining clash? Meh. 

Where the White House adopts a bullish tone, some European countries try to walk a far more delicate line. They have criticized China over human rights, but also expressed eagerness to continue cultivating its lucrative trade opportunities — all the while adopting neutral language on the intensifying geopolitical maelstrom between Washington and Beijing.

WNU Editor: The EU has imposed some measures against China. But it is a fraction of what they are capable of doing. Europe is more focused on trade and investment opportunities.

With allies like that, we don't need enemies.

Biden has no gravitas. He's earned no respect. He has no leadership qualities. He has no clue of the leverage available to him. He has no ability or will to articulate the threat that China poses. And he couldn't sell it if he wanted to. Add in a grievance-obsessed, virus-mongered US populous.

Europe is governed and populated by nihilists whose only aim is immediate convenience, comfort and gratification.

/To the Chins the West looks like a giant drunk vagina, just waiting for some hard coitus.

Joe cannot unite his own family. How is he going to unite the US and European countries?

Biden caved on Nordstream 2 giving Putin and Merkel a win and roadmap to further go their own way against the USA.
China will offer hundreds of billions in trade deals to drive Belt and Road deep into Europe.
There will be Europeans terrified by Russia aligning with the USA and those terrified about losing Russian energy, bullied by Russia and Chinese cash.

blah blah blah
simple: Europe worries about Russia, much closer, than China and Far East.
if Biden so bad, why did America reject Trump and elect him?
maaaagggaaaa

@816 lol you believe Biden won? That senile pedophile ghoul only attracts voters like Fred Lapides and other perverts. I'd say he got maybe 10 million votes and that's being generous, considering Biden couldn't even pull a crowd when they had famous people push for him.. there's a video of Chrr performing at one of his events. Together with the staff and security present it was maybe 50 people.. look at the facial expression of Cher when she saw the "crowd " lol meanwhile Trump held several effects a day with up to 50,000 attendees at each event. On one day Trump held 6 events non stop.. more than 200,000 people. Biden in that entire month hsd maybe 400 people coming to see him. If you're that brainwashed and don't realise what's going on, may I suggest switching channels? ;)

It is interesting on how someone is called out by name and how they respond to it or do not.

They are a lone voice, which begs the question. Do they opine here just to inflict their diseased shit on people or is someone using their name?

who won the election?
The electoral college? Biden
the popular vote: Biden
30 court caes to contest and Biden won them all
so: your proof that Trump won? facts, evidence or your dead wrong and living in a dream world of fantasy

The left.. killing scores of people, burning down entire city blocks, threatening courts judges and jury with death of family members AND THEN they cackle like hyenas "look no court dared to touch it, so we won"... and they see nothing wrong, can't seem to figure it out.

Friend if you think this will end well for America, I don't know what to tell you

It is funny that you should mention court cases.

Federal appeals court finds CDC eviction moratorium unlawful - MSN

The court decision was that the CDC action were unlawful, but decided to do nothing because the CDC order was going to expire in a few days anyway

WTH? The “CDC” Unilaterally Extends New 60-Day Moratorium on Evictions – Steep Criminal Penalties For Landlords Who Violate Order

So the take away is that what is lawful and what actually gets done in the USA are two different things.

Trump won 70 or 71 court cases to Biden's 30. Also, secretary of states and county officials in numerous states changed election law, when the US Constitution said it is up to state legislatures.

If you want to look at the while picture instead of cherry pick and further want to be honest, which has never had much appeal to you, then we can talk.

What's most telling is how Democrats to this day still haven't handed over server and router logs for Arizona, and other states where they "won" lol
Republicans will never forget - and I am not even a republican nor American, But I have eyes and saw what these democrats did. I watched it with my own eyes in live streams. In all those places where Democrats "won" they harassed poll watchers, denied them access, and even barricaded windows so not even the media could look in. this is not a democratic election. this WAS a coup, and the people who were caught on those videos will be hung eventually, because it's treasonous and really damaged democracy around the World.
And those Democrats who till this day enable this coup and looked away will need to go to prison. Pelosi for sure.. that's why she is purging all places of power of Republicans, because they want her punished for the coup. And rightfully so.

Prove that Biden won. The FBI has destroyed ballots and confiscated hard rives and thumb drives. The actions of the FBI makes the US look like Belarus. Prove otherwise.

evidence for claim about the FBI: give us proof!!!
evidence Biden won: Pence read off the electoral college votes
No court, not a one, of some 30 that Trumpies went to in order to claim election rigged ever found in favor of that position but insisted over and over that such claims were false.

Sad you have to impersonate a poet. You really are worthless and have no value.

Innocent people do not have to hid counting of votes or destroy ballot and computer files.

You cite no instances where criminal charges have been filed
as for the rest of what you babble about, what in god's name does that even mean?

Troll much ass muncher? Clinesmith got convicted.

The FBI even destroyed Hunter Biden's laptop, they didn't even care about the pedophelia

All the evidence about the election was brought forward in public hearings when the courts didn't dare to touch it thanks to leftist terrorists backed by Democrats all summer..

It's your responsibility, NOT MINE, too listen to what your fellow country men had to say, under oath, and the evidence they produced. YOU chose to watch CNN or whatever shit news you consume.

We all saw the coup, you'll not talk us out of it

I'm from England. Watched the election, saw the theft. And then they're surprised that we and the Europeans don't follow blindly. Get your house in order, make some arrests, and reestablish proper democracy, not this sham, and then we can join forces.

Sir--
you charge the FBI with destroying materials. Prove that if it no longer exists and how do you know what they did with what?

what was said and by whom under oath? provide names, dates, please

possession is 9/10 etc. Who occupies the White House?
who is running the nation? where is this challenged by the conservative Supreme Court, and Roberts of that court swore in Biden.

Omfg it was all in the news. Look if you only watch CNN of course you have no idea what's going on in your own country.

Anonymous said...

"news" on what you read is not fact that can or will stand up in a court.
You have yet to prove that Biden is not the legally elected president. Prove it or you are simply foaming at the mouth and living in a make-believe world...ps:if Trump won, why the Jan 6 attempt to stop the legal declaration of the presidency? and yes, those were Trump banners and flags and hats and supporters trying to prevent the legal process from taking place. It did take place. Now 500 plus trumpies have been arrested and each one identified for what was done. It is all on tape. But you will deny that too. Ok. Visit your buds in jail when sentences get handed out.

A full-fledged Trumpster saying Biden has no "gravitas" is funniest thing in weeks! Trump and gravitas? he is a Mussolini except the Italian leader did get some things done before he went Hitler nutty

"Sir--" Someone one imitating Lapides or Lapides went off the deep end.

"you charge the FBI with destroying materials. "

That is just a troll

"possession is 9/10 etc. "

What are you going to argue next, might makes right? You are 90% there. So et me get this right. If Hitler had succeeded you would not complain, because might makes right. Do I have that right?


Lapides or not Lapides, what is for sure is that you a a lying putz.

It's the same effect when you watch soccer or football and someone made an illegal score but the referee didn't see it or just looked away and then they'll cheer for their team despite fully knowing it was an unjust steal.

Anonymous said...

I watch a game. the referee calls it or does not and that is what wins or loses, not what you think, want, hope for from the stands as a biased person rooting for your team. Who wins? the ref decides. Not you.

3:37 is either a sick mother, who gets its jollies, trying to get a rise out of people or they are a dedicated drone down for the struggle, who shows up to party rallies and will support the party no matter what it does. It does not matter to me. In both cases I look stuff up and get more knowledgeable whereas 3:37 stays a putz.

Anonymous said...

I find myh self agreeing with 3:37
who decides winner and loser of an election?
you said you look stuff up. Ok. What did you find that shows the referee, ie electoral college; popular votes and 30 judges wrong.
please tell us instead of simply dismissing and calling a name. that is both childish and very stupid. what have you looked up, mr anti ref

I too went to that site. Sorry, but all sorts of accusations and no specific facts presented to make a case for what he was saying. Quick example: he talks about a huge deficit. He does not note that it skyrocketed under Trump tax break for the very wealthy. He seems to serious believe there is no climate crisis causing fires, droughts, flooding, etc science people state is due to climate change.

You think climate change is caused primarily by man?
Not by that fireball which puts out 1x10^546,823,445,577 gigawatts per millisecond?

You can absolutely correlate changes in earth temperature with solar activity

And fun fact.. have you noticed that it gets cold at night...? Weird, right? Is it because humans are asleep that we see up to 20C/50F temperature changes within a few hours every day, or is it the sun?

And then ask yourself how strong the dollar activity fluctuations are, percentage wise

And then look at the global warming models, how they completely leave that out

And then look at what they push.. carbon tax.. carbon allowance for private people soon.. travel allowance... meat allowance.. life allowance

They're indoctrinating children to see people who don't go along with the global warming scam as terrorists. They see being educated to bash your head in. The oligarchs are using them as pawns to keep you in check and locked down and to shut you up.

Ask a global warming theory proponent about how much the impact of man is on all this and show you the equation. They won't. They will say SHUT UP it's science and 99%agree...

They have never worked in science.. they don't know what science and academia has turned into. I worked and taught and let me tell you, anyone who says 99%agree is 1) a liar 2) a scholastist, not an empirical scientist who applies the scientific method and can reproduce models 2) indoctrinated and clueless that we're under coordinated attack

My absolute favourite is when people like bill gates and Warren buffet push the climate hoax and tell everyone the seas will rise, and then buy up the beach property from the people they tricked. It's hilarious.. it's evil but funny

And yeah, sea levels do rise, I've actually worked with computer simulations on this very issue.. but they won't rise everywhere and won't rise as drastic as they want you to believe

As everything else they do.. they lie, which is constitutionally protected and then exploit you.

They do this with everything

And it's legal. Immoral as fck, but legal and you keep getting played
