America is promoting European division

The new US ambassador to Germany suggests that he will directly mix in European politics and trigger a scandal. But revolt would still be the wrong answer

Germany is revolting. Just hours after the publication of a US ambassador's interview in Germany, Richard Green, voices have increased for him to be expelled from the country. Cause: in a conversation with the right internet portal Breitbart Trump's man stated that he intends to strengthen conservative forces in Europe, which oppose the establitor. The passages of the interview, in which he speaks of the silent majority, the well-being of people who work normally, criticisms of current refugee policy and, overall, of the arrogant stance of political elites, he could repeat even in a conservative right-wing AFD party event, the applause would be safe. This at a time when it's not the first time that Yerenelli is so directly involved in the fates of Germany. Unwell in office, he urged German firms to withdraw from businesses with Iran. The background for this requirement is the transatlantic dispute over the atomic agreement with Iran.

Unprecedented So far
Indeed, until today it was not heard that an ambassador was so directly involved in the country's politics, in which he was sent. So far the task has been more the explanation of the country where it comes from, the building of bridges, the peace of conflicts. But the one who gets angry now and is surprised that Yerenelli defines his task quite differently, has yet to understand properly that with this president in the White House, everything is different. And business as much as diplomatic.

Trump is a businessman, coming from the show business, where he has achieved his greatest successes. Its understanding of politics is not the “art of possible”, as Rah's first Chancellor, Otto von Bismarck, once defined. Like all populists, Trump and his men are interested in achieving the greatest effect. When Grenelli speaks of chain migration in Germany and praises the non-compromian politician Sebastian Kurz, he knows what he's doing. It aims to encourage those forces in Europe, which challenge the existing order as Trump. He addresses this interview to nationalist right-wing heads of state, such as Hungary and Poland. So it directs those who express doubts about Europe in its present form.

EU cohesion aims to weaken
Grenelli cleverly uses as his boss in his country for this not only the fear of people to succeed. He also exploits the weaknesses of the system to provoke a new order on the ancient continent. A order that weakens the EU's cohesion and is in this way primarily in behalf of America.
High tones, concerns and calls for resignations are not enough to counter this EU weakening strategy. In this race for higher tones, Trump will always win. Germany and its European partners have nothing but to admit Donald Trump can't believe anymore. On the contrary, it not only threatens Europe with commercial warfare but even sends one of its top diplomats to speed up the European Union's schism.
To this new form of the transatlantic report, there can be only one answer: a clear agreement on Europe's future in which to find their country not only big countries but also small ones. As bitter as it may be: at the moment, the former US ally has turned into a danger, promoting division. After this interview, there is no doubt about it.
