      >Finland’s President Alexander Stubb has warned that relations between the US and Europe are fracturing under Donald Trump’s policies, urging allies to “salvage what you can” of the transatlantic alliance, The Telegraph reported on March 22.

      >“I’m more pessimistic now, in that sense, more realistic,” Stubb said, pointing to a shift in US policy marked by tariffs, a softer stance on Russia and reduced coordination with European allies.

      >Stubb said Washington’s approach had moved away from its traditional partnership model.

      >“In the olden days the US would consult its allies. This time around, the US acted alone without informing allies,” he said. “You cannot be a hegemon without allies. If the US continues on this path, they will also then diminish their capacity to project power.”

      >He added that ideological changes in Washington were reshaping priorities. “MAGA is an ideology: it’s anti-globalization, it’s anti-international institutions, it’s anti-Europe, or anti-EU at least,” Stubb said. “America First is a policy. Western Hemisphere is the first: Venezuela, Cuba, Greenland. Second is the Indo-Pacific. Europe — only third.”

      And as we’ve seen with the new wars in the Middle East and the tariffs everywhere, Trump won’t be satisfied with the Western Hemisphere either.

      US government is now aligned with Russia and other dirtbag dictator governments.

      So, the west has not split, but been betrayed.

      Stubb is one of the few leaders we have that I feel isn’t stuck in a state of normalcy bias, he understands the present moment in a way most people unfortunately aren’t managing to.

      > Stubb has already added his voice to the growing number of EU leaders calling for rapprochement with Russia as disunity in the EU grows in the face of the increased cost of supporting Ukraine, which now entirely falls to Europe, and the worsening economic. State of Europe’s leading countries. As bne IntelliNews argued, Europe can’t afford to take over the burden of supporting Ukraine, as most EU countries are either in recession or approaching a crisis.

      Huh? Stubb isn’t calling for rapproachment with Russia. WTF is this disinfo? Does this sub not have any standards?

      Aside from that, this whole narrative that “Europe can’t possibly afford **the burden** of supporting Ukraine” is ridiculous. What burden? The <1% of GDP that the EU has spent on Ukraine isn’t even that much considering the stakes.

      This whole article stinks.
