German Foreign Minister Maas: "Europe and the United States should once again work closer together strategically. As in Libya or Syria by Russia or Turkey, we must not leave a vacuum filled by others. "
So laughable how the EU is paralysed as soon as the US acts a little less imperialistic. Instead of working with allies, the EU alienates them and tries to gang up on them for them not being the free, safe and 100% democratic countries as them selves, because of the geopolitical and geographical reality of today's world.
For those who think that German democracy can survive the same things Turkey underwent since 2011, are sorely mistaken. In France, one dead teacher led to mosques being searched and possibly closed, families being raided, NGO's being banned and a prohibition for journalists to do their jobs to cover police brutality.
Image how much of the democracy in these EU countries would survive when being faced by millions of refugees, two neighboring countries torn apart by war, a terrorist entity that wants to take a third of their country which is being armed by the hyper-power of the world, while going under an internal coup by a parallel state-power. Not much I can tell you, they would fare far worse than Turkey.
