---------
The roles are finally clearly assigned again: The USA is the ruthless superpower that coldly asserts its interests in the world. Germany and Europe are the victims of American power politics - and are approaching autocratic great powers like China and Russia out of pure self-defense. The narrative was so nice and comfortable under Donald Trump. Now it's back under Joe Biden, the Germans and the Europeans see themselves as victims again. -

At first, Biden let the allies in Afghanistan run aground mercilessly. This was followed by the submarine deal with Australia, in which Europe was booted out in secret negotiations. But the allies' self-indulgence is ridiculous. Joe Biden just holds up a mirror to Germany and Europe: They would recognize their own hypocrisy if they could look through the streaks of their childish tears of anger. -

The submarine deal is the answer to Angela Merkel's betrayal. She had secretly and quietly negotiated an economic agreement with China with French President Emmanuel Macron. Joe Biden was elected, but not yet in office. The US government was not consulted - and had to watch impotently as Europe made it clear with the deal that it does not want to follow the US in their tough China policy. -

The message reached Biden: We want the military protection of the superpower USA, but at the same time we want to do good business with the enemies of the USA. In Afghanistan and in the submarine case, Biden made it clear to Europe that he would not accept this double-faced diplomacy. -

Unfortunately, it has to be doubted whether Europe understands that. Because foreign policy is reflected in the mood of the European population. Amazingly, Germans and Europeans still consider the conflict with China to be a purely American problem. Many citizens make no distinction between the totalitarian dictatorship of China and the USA - the country that liberated Europe. -

It is anti-American schizophrenia that Europe has practiced for decades. Joe Biden - he made this very clear between the lines in his speech to the United Nations - wants this hypocrisy to have its price in the future.
