A serious vulnerability within the American government has not only announced delicate military secrets, but also brought in light non -repellent statements about Europe. The American Minister of Defense Pete Hegseeth (44) and vice-president JD Vance (40) showed a deep look in a chat group and revealed an attitude that causes horror in Europe.
Hegseeth had shared military details about planned American attacks on the Jemeni Huthi militia in a non-secured chat group. In addition to the high -quality government representatives, Jeffrey Goldberg, editor -in -chief of the magazine “The Atlantic”, was accidentally unveiled the chat history.
Vance: “I share your disgust”
Even more explosive than the vulnerability itself: communication between Hegseeth and Vance testifies to a well -founded distance from the US government to Europe. In the discussion about the military strategy, Vance wrote: “I just hate to help Europe out of trouble again.” Hegseeth agreed: “I share their disgust completely compared to European Free plate. It is pathetic.”
US sees Europe as an ideological threat
The statements shed light on the attitude of the Trump government towards Europe. The Transatlantic Alliance, once a cornerstone of our foreign policy, seems to be losing the importance. “The government of Trump sees Europe not only as competitors, but also as an economic and ideological threat,” Nathalie Tocci, director of the Italian Institute for International Affairs, analyzed in the “New York Times”.
Donald Trump himself has made no secret of his skepticism towards Europe in the past. “The European Union was established to annoy the United States,” he would have said during a cabinet meeting. The trade conflict with the EU and its constant demand for higher military NATO spending has already led to tensions. Now the leaked chat messages offer new proof of the always tense relationship.
Trump and Hegseeth weigh
US President Donald Trump played the data leak. “A slip,” he said in an interview with NBC. “The only one in two months.” Hegseeth, who commented on reporters in Hawaii about the allegations, violently denied the report of the “Atlantic Ocean”: “Nobody has a SMS war plans.” Instead, he personally attacked Goldberg as “fraudulent and discredited so -ramped journalists”.
Goldberg stopped it and confirmed to CNN: “No, that’s a lie. He wrote war plans in Chat.” The spokesperson for the National Security Council, Chris Hughes, confirmed the authenticity of the chat course as “probably real”.
Europe must come on its own feet
The revelations show that the United States will continue to lead Europe under Trump. “Donald Trump now regards more than half of Europeans as an enemy in Europe,” reports “Polito”. The situation “European Council for Foreign Relations” sees the situation pragmatic: Europe is simply useless for Trump.
Whether this changes is not due to the US, but to the Europeans themselves.
