The EU foreign policy chief says Europe does “not see eye to eye” with the Trump administration on major issues such as trade, climate change and funding of U.N. agencies, but can “easily” work with the U.S. on Syria and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Federica Mogherini spoke Saturday during a regional gathering of the World Economic Forum.

Mogherini warned that threatened U.S. cuts in funding U.N. agencies “would create a major security issue worldwide, including in Europe.” …

Eff this creature. Less American taxpayer money will "create" a major security issue. However burning cars and women afraid to walk the streets of old gay Paris aren't caused by Islamists? Nut job.

How do you account for the fact that the United Nations Charter follows the format of the Russian (USSR) Constitution of 1936 rather than the format of the (Covenant of the) League of Nations? Would you feel there was any significance in the fact that the general secretary for the organization which drew up the charter was Alger Hiss? …

The UN was evil from its beginnings. We got “in” by leftists in the US creating it in the first place. It has to go.

That's the point ma'am. You're gonna have to start paying for your security one way or the other!

[Olog-hai]

That’s the next “crisis” that the EU wants to precipitate. A military to oppose the US with. They certainly are taking the Sun Tzu paradigm of “feign(ing) disorder” seriously.
