US necessarys Europe, German defense minister states
German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius urged European governments to act more confidently toward the United States.
It would be a mistake “if we stared at the White Hoapply like a rabbit staring at a snake,” Pistorius notified the RND media group.
He added: “Then we would lose focus on what we necessary to do: Become more sovereign and indepfinishent.”
US President Donald Trump relies on uncertainty and fear to achieve his goals, “but those who are afraid create the wrong decisions, so let’s not allow ourselves to be intimidated,” declared the defense minister.
Pistorius was referring to European governments’ resistance to Trump’s renewed push to have the US take control of Greenland, a semiautonomous territory of Denmark.
Europe’s strategic importance to the US
He stressed that the US necessarys Europe just as much as the Europeans necessary the US, stateing that Europe is of geostrategic and geoeconomic importance to Washington.
“Imagine if Europe were to become Russia’s sphere of influence if [Russian President] Vladimir Putin succeeded in driving the Americans out of here or cautilizing them to withdraw,” Pistorius declared.
Washington would be “sandwiched between Russia and China. That would certainly not be in the Americans’ interest,” he added.
