Transatlantic partership or strategic autonomy

 


This morning the European Commission is launching a series of countermeasures to protect EU consumers from the impact of US tariffs of up to 25%. On March 12, the US imposed those tariffs on imports of steel and aluminium from European Union and other trading partners. 
That news reminds me a famous Heinz Alfred Kissinger's quote. As it is known, he was an American diplomat and political scientist, who also served as secretary of state. In 1968 he said: "It may be dangerous to be an America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal". 

Have nice Wednesday :-)

  2. That is a very good quote, I like it. Good that they are taking measures to protect their people. Unlike the idoits here in Scotland who do not care about their people or Scotland.

    My 6 year old has started asking about the Scottish Flag, she drew it at school and this has peaked her interest in being Scottish. It made me think of your post a while back about the flags in Romania and we rarely see our Saltire flying proudly. She always points it our when she sees it! :-D

  3. Every day that passes and I see how this idiotic criminal and his henchmen behave, thinking only of their own personal enrichment, I wonder how millions of Americans have been deceived.
    The boycott of the US must be as broad as we can make it.
