"There is a way to file for divorce from Donald Trump and Europe needs to grab the opportunity.

To the public it will look as if nothing has changed. But behind the scenes the EU and the UK could close the joint bank account and cut up the credit cards, or at least set in motion a form of financial separation that limits the power of a controlling former partner."

"Trump has never believed in the principles that NATO was founded to promote and preserve. He doesn’t feel affinity for liberal democracy. ...

Trump has contempt for democratic norms. He wants to move America’s pieces to the other side of the chessboard, alongside those whose systems and methods he finds more congenial—Russia, China, El Salvador, Turkey, and Hungary."

We are already seeing a dizzying array of lies, distractions and smears."

"NBC: 'Trump calls for ‘immediate negotiations’ on Greenland, but rules out using force' ...

Every story that treats 'I won’t use force' as the news, rather than 'I reminded everyone that I could use unstoppable force,' contributes to a distorted picture of reality. Readers who rely on mainstream coverage encounter a version of Trump that has been sanded down, made palatable, rendered comprehensible within frameworks that don’t apply to him."

"The system worked, in part, because countries believed the U.S. would honor its commitments. ...

The reality is that when the architect of the postwar order becomes its violator, the entire system collapses. If the U.S. can threaten NATO allies with impunity, why should China hold back from attacking Taiwan? Why should Russia stop at Ukraine?"

^{Sarah K. Burris (Alternet.org)}

"Trump loves the spectacle of threatening tariffs. It makes him feel strong. But he’s shooting himself in the foot.

So if Europe really wants to fix the problem, it’s time for the big guns. Europe accounts for almost 20% of trade with the US. If they cut off US companies’ access to their 450 million customers it would inflict real pain.

Europe’s financial 'bazooka' is the leverage that will beat out rhetoric, every time."
