There were one thousand deaths at the Munich Security Conference in Germany, which was held recently, and United Nations General Assembly vote on Ukraine,
A few days ago, in Saudi Arabia, the United States and Russia, under the leadership of their respective foreign ministers, bilateral discussion. Ukraine War, Ukrainians and Europeans were not invited Since it was felt that they do not need to be included at this point. In June 2024, at the behest of Ukraine, the European Union (EU) and America, Switzerland organized ‘Summit on peace in Ukraine’ at Burgenstock ‘Russia was not invited because they felt Russia did not need at that time.
In Munich, American Vice President JD Vance accused Europe of strangling its right-wing parties, “shutdown” elections, “stifting” free speech and religious freedom and not “out of control” from the countries of the non-European Union and “out of control” , Which caused the Democratic politics, freedom and “fundamental value”. But before November 2024, Americans and Europeans tried to prevent their right-wing and far-flung parties from obtaining legitimacy through ballot as they were convinced that the rise of authority in their countries threatens democracy and freedom. Given-and, in fact, and, in fact,, their generous Western values. The constitutional court of Romania also canceled the results of the presidential election, where far-flung independent candidates, Callin Georgesku, who advocated for cutting aid in Ukraine, won the first round.
What does America forget
In February 2025, the United States is accusing Ukraine, Germany and Europeans that they are not enough to find a solution to the conflict chasing an incredible war with Russia. But the US forgets that it has already spent more than $ 110 billion in the Ukraine War, only $ 65 billion for ammunition – top western countries have collectively given Ukraine to Ukraine. The US also forgets that in March 2022, it was the leader of an European country, at the behest of the US, a vandalism between Russians and Ukrainians (which had already started in Turkaya).
And, in September 2022, Germany’s close associates vandalized Nord stream pipelines, disasseed them and prevented Russia from supplying gas to Germany, which was its lifeline. But a reluctant, but too much, Germany supplied leopard tanks and other ammunition to Ukraine.
Furthermore, the US instigated Europe to take responsibility for its safety, greatly increases its defense spending and does not sponge on American role in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The US contributes 16% of NATO’s annual budget and most of its soldiers. But America forgets that since the fall of the Cold War, it was the US that was reluctant to organize the Europeans to organize their safety and defense.
Today, the United States has accused the European Union of not enough to compete with non-European Union countries on illegal migration or terrorist radical Islam, which disrupts the western way of life to prevent terror attacks.
A few years ago, in the United Nations, in the United States and Europe, stopping France, announced that the threat of terrorism came from “racial and ethnic violent violent extremism” (Remve) and at the same time the rise of right -wing violent extremism Came from In Europe, and not of radical Islam or the destructive migration policies of the West. At the United Nations, his “generous” ambassadors kept quiet when the organization of Islamic Cooperation (OC) tried to reduce the mass fight against terror and the United Nations coalition civilization (UNAOC) as a reaction to Islamophobia in 2020 Terrorist attacks in France were rejected.
Problem with Europe
Europe, on its behalf, refuses to accept that its domestic policies, which are other things, encourage violent dissidents, radicals, terrorists and refugees to take citizenship, have changed their demographics, Perhaps irreversibly. Tamil Eelam (LTTE) militants, Khalistani separatists and terrorists, Al Qaeda’s notorious Hamburg Sale (9/11 pilots of terrorist attacks were from here) or the tigers of liberation of Islamic kilo took advantage of its liberal open societies. Was. European – Paris, Nice, Oslo, Vienna, Madrid, Brussels or elsewhere in their own cities. Therefore, it was no surprise that right -wing parties began to increase elections in Europe as a response to the wrong priorities of their leaders. The recent election results in Germany that have been far and wide in the Gulf, but only, can be the last chance to find that elusive balance within the European Union.
As Mr. Vance said in Munich, “If you are running away from fear of your own voters, then there is nothing that America can do for you.” Of course, America forgot that Trump 1.0 refused to accept the 2020 election loss and the first Act of Trump 2.0 was to forgive the criminals of the US Capital storm in 2021. But Europe claims that America is no less or no less guilty in these issues, or the threat of its resurrection or the Russian aggression is not an excuse for inhuman action against them, or the Nazi of Germany is not an excuse for inhuman action yet. Till right.
Europe seems to be in a state of denial. While ideology, liberal democracy and discovery of Western values are admirable objectives, the leaders of the European Union are complex in the gradual eclipse of their own liberal values by allowing migrants, whose ethos are on the variance directly with them. His people have to vote for their identity, way of life and even for the fear of far-flung religion. It is a classic case of liberal policies, which are being benefited by Illiberal values.
In Munich, India’s Foreign Minister, S. Jaishankar asked the West to claim to promote democratic values at home, but especially in the global south, supported non-Loklocratic forces outside. The recent examples of the West Effecting regime at Global South were included in the forced acquisition of power by the radical Taliban in Afghanistan in August 2021 and the Syrian President in December 2024 was included in the area – in the name of entering all democracy.
However, on the Ukraine War, while Europe and America had stopped themselves in the Zelanceci Bandwagan to leave Russia in Russia’s dramatic turn, the chass and European positions between the new American initiatives jointly jointly United Nations The General Assembly exploded in the open. The US voted with Russia against the European/Ukrainian draft resolution, but could not stop it from being adopted. The United Nations can follow more plays in the Security Council, but it is only a pyramic win for Europe – without America, the Ukraine War is equally good.
Trans-eleventh partnership is relevant
Despite the shocks at Munich and the United Nations General Assembly, announced that the Trans-Atlantic partnership between the US and Europe is over. Call from US administration for retreat from Europe seems strategic to re -organize a better deal, not strategic. With a new centralist leadership in Germany, perhaps it is probably to improve course for Europe, invest more in its own safety, to compete with the rise of radical values in their societies, chase a more independent foreign policy and with the US It is time to resume your relationship. , The trans-nlantic partnership is now even more relevant in front of the “No-Limits” partnership between Russia and China. America’s ability to move away from Europe is over, such as Europe’s ability for the storm season is understood.
When a reporter asked Mahatma Gandhi what he thinks about Western civilization, he is replied: “I think it would be a good idea.”
