EU top diplomat says ‘free world needs new leader’ after Trump-Zelensky clash

How fortunate her opinion doesn’t matter outside the EU.

[IsraelTimes] The European Union’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas vows to stand by Kyiv and questions America’s leadership of the West after theextraordinary clash between President Donald Trump and Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky.

“Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge,” Kallas writes on social media following the Oval Office confrontation. “Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine.”

#1 IMO: EUropeans (and Brits) need to focus on tending their own garden - it's overgrown by weeds and overrun by pests - and stop pretending that Europe is center of the universe.

#2 I noticed that "Europa" didn't say anything about picking up more of the cost.

#3 Trump is the new leader that we put in place out of disgust for their globalist baloney. For them, the Biden lesson ought to be that American presidents are not easily removed. Calling for Trump’s removal is dumb. He likely cracking the knuckles if his pump hand in preps for his response.

#4 Given the Euros position on 'free speech' they hardly are ones looking for a new leader for the free world.

#5 They all seem busy trying to make it The Mediterranean Union.

MU: we are the free and sophisticated world!

UK: if you shared the story of the government using an 11 year old girl to attract African settlers, we can arrest you during your transfer at Heathrow.

#6 IMHO the 'Free World' was dealt a fatal blow on 9/11 2001 and Bush's declaration that 'Islam is Peace' in the aftermath of an Islamic massacre on American soil was its death rattle.

Submission to Islam and opposition to free speech has been the consensus of the 'Free' World ever since. (e.g. here and here). This consensus was shared even by Trump in 2015.

#10 Earlier this past week we saw that the UK had only 25 deployable tanks. So they need about 10 years of massive defense purchases to achieve any "leadership".

#13 By gad, sir, our gunsels were gaudy
The day we encountered a body
Of spearchucking wogs,
All so awed by our togs
That they ran, to the last man and Mahdi!
