Freidrich Merz canceled meetings to urgently call Ukrainian President Zelensky and the European leaders including French President Emmanuel Macron.
In a report on Thursday, Spiegel reported that in the call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and other European leaders, France’s Emmanuel Macron warned that the United States could insist that Ukraine makes territorial concessions to Russia without guarantees to prevent future Russian aggression.
“There is a chance that the U.S. will betray Ukraine on territory without clarity on security guarantees,” he said, according to the magazine.
In the call that took place on Monday, Germany’s Friedrich Merz warned Zelenskiy that U.S. negotiators are “playing games” and that he should be “very careful” over the next few days, the Spiegel report said.
“The President did not express himself in these words,” Spiegel quoted the Élysée as saying.
The real problem is they don’t want the war to end unless they win it all. They want Ukraine in NATO and that’s one of the reasons the war started in the first place. The Europeans want us to fight their war for them. They don’t have armies to speak of and nothing to back up their demands.
Der Spiegel has obtained the transcript of a crisis phone call between Merz, Macron, Stubb, Volodymyr Zelensky and others on the peace talks. They deeply distrust the US negotiator. The feeling is mutual.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz warned Zelensky during a now leaked call: “You need to be extremely careful in the coming days. They [the Americans] are playing games, both with you and with us.”
Emmanuel Macron: The U.S. might “betray Ukraine on the issue of territory”
Alexander Stubb: “We must not leave Ukraine—or Volodymyr—alone with these guys.”
Mark Rutte: “We have to protect Volodymyr.”
I once asked Copilot what would have happened if the United States hadn’t entered the European war during World War II. The answer was surprising: Russia would likely have defeated Germany, shifting the balance of Europe. Today, we see France and much of the EU positioning themselves for a broader conflict—perhaps to distract their citizens from the abysmal conditions within… Read more »
Ask Copilot what would have happened if the United States had joined Germany to wipe out communism in Russia. (like Patton said we should have)
Doesn’t surprise me at all. They are all globalists. Their main mission is to take down the USA because we are the only ones that can stop this one world tyrannical government that they want to put us under even if they have to start WW3 to do it. The European people need to pick better leaders before they become… Read more »
The US should just walk away from the entire mess…
We have no real allies, or friends…
It’s all a big drag on us…
1) Get out of NATO. 2) Cut all military subsidies to the European cabal (England, France, Germany and their like minded) who effectively hate us. 3) Withdraw US Military from same cabal. 4) Continue to support our true friends, whoever they might be.
I am not suggesting that we abandon all cooperation, but we must not have our troops in harms way to protect the contra-productive policies of others.
Why more than ever we need to step out and wash our hands.
