Zelenskyy's delegation is expected to sign a landmark economic agreement with the U.S. in Washington, aimed at financing the reconstruction of war-damaged Ukraine
If you do not want to be completely disgusted, embarrassed and angry then don’t watch the video of the Oval Office discussion.
@Powderhorn I think the incentive is there. The new chancellor of Germany is very americano-sceptic (given the current situation) and I do not think France will stand aside. Denmark is facing a possible future aggressor so it’s more likely to also push for europenism and other states might follow suit as well. Right now we’re caught off-guard indeed.
Have you read his bio? He is THE prototype trans-atlantic hawk, and still he looks like he is turning away from the US right now.
On the other hand, he is not elected Chancellor yet, so we won’t know for sure until then. Triggering a vote of no confidence would be REALLY dangerous right now, lest the far right gain even more votes. So he kind of has this leverage against his future coalition partner.
