Europe's new future with Trump 2.0 | Alexander Stubb | GZERO World with Ian Bremmer

[@DevonWlodyga]

It would be great if the US had a president who spoke in thoughtful, complete sentences.

[@PapaOscarNovember]

I'm impressed also by Stubb's command of English

[@American-In-Mykolaiv]

Oh, you mean a "normal" person?

[@Thichaou]

@@PapaOscarNovember You dimwits obviously did see Biden speaks, huh?

[@alexcipriani6003]

Yeah but you all are getting caught up on surface level analysis of Trump … you say something along the lines he sounds stupid therefore his policies are stupid.

[@American-In-Mykolaiv]

@ You sound stupid, too!

[@fernandojorge9627]

I know I should have, but I didn't know the current president, Alexander Stubb. And I must say it was a pleasure to hear him talk about our current situation. He is a person that any country would like to have as president of their country: very educated, well prepared, with a lot of common sense and he is an optimist. The fact that the Finnish people chose him also says a lot about the people.

[@eveb.6568]

Amazing interviewee!!! Clear-headed, down-to-earth, no dramma, realist, calm, polite, insightful, analytical - very European looking and having very European manners. Love Finland!!!

[@Marcus935OS]

This is what a leader should be. Meanwhile, in the U.S.A. . . .

[@Thichaou]

Is that right? So that's why his party only get 19% of the votes? Fool!

[@ja4291]

For a moment I thought Ian Bremmer was talking to Ian Bremmer😂

[@ulfdanielsen6009]

You cannot leave the club and still assume to be its leader. This could also be the beginning of a bright new future for Europa. NATO is quickly becoming redundant and should turn itself into a proper full tier 4 European army. The EU is the stepping stone on the way to The United Kingdoms/Republics/States of Europa. European manufacturing European millitary complex European geopolitics European unity MEGA MAKE EUROPA GREAT AGAIN

[@ryanwalters6184]

What are you waiting for?

[@KC53557]

Imagine Trump having that discussion!

[@Symmetry77]

Boycott Trump boycott the US. Support the EU and the EU market. Thats what everyone should be doing

[@Pattern-Recognition]

...laughable. Europe is far too disunited and economically as well as militarily far to weak to do this.Even worse, the EU is in self-destruct mode. Over-regulated, bloated, un-innovative, self-righteous. A toxic mix.

[@ArnoldLarsen90]

Ah yes total economic collapse. Good idea.

[@acd2050]

As an American, I would love to separate from Europe only thing Europe does to America is cost us money were also tired of hearing about your superiority, but then you come to us for handouts.

Good, you can start by getting off the internet and youtube now, uromoron!

[@markuseden2105]

"Authoritarianism doesn't last"... and then he names the Soviet Union which immediately went back to authoritarianism! :)

[@mysterioanonymous3206]

Agree. That's an extremely naive statement. It's not a given at all that democracy wins. Most of the world isn't in fact democratic. There's only one true democracy on the planet and that's Switzerland, where people can vote on laws directly. Democracy... 😂 gtfo. We all know special interest groups make the rules. That's why we have this right shift everywhere while the left is busy fighting for immigrants 😂 You can't make this s up.

[@ArnoldLarsen90]

Russia is collapsing again.

[@Thichaou]

Like the female k9 called EU?

[@winonebud]

lol, good point.

[@ArmHope]

China has been carrying on with authoritarianism for how many millennium?

[@mdragon99]

An internal economic disaster is the one piece of the puzzle Trump needed. Thinking Trump is doing anything other than advancing the goal of becoming an Emperor is throwing away democracy.

[@Deep_Sorcery]

Authoritarianism didn't last in Germany because of WWII. Will it take WWIII to get rid of authoritarianism in the U.S.?

[@jdotsalter910]

yes.

[@freeheeler09]

It is looking like civil war at least in the US.

[@glenngrowe7105]

Biden had censorship and politicization of the justice system. Trump has undone these authoritarian tendencies, thank God.

[@Seriouspatt]

We as Europeans cannot and should not rely on the USA. Loosen the ties. Buy European. Europe needs to be aware of its own possibilities and use them better. Alexander Stubb is great as always.

[@Thichaou]

Buy European? You people sell refugees, gay and feminists now?😂

[@frankk6416]

@Thichaou oh cute, a MAGA asshat in the wild.

[@redblacktichy7713]

The leftish ideologies kill the EU. You cannot talk about european patriotism in Europe now

[@stasa-X]

Stay were you are 😂,we live in Europe and we don't want racists like you in our backyard, refugees and homosexual people are more clever than you and we can live in peace without you bot😂.

[@heudu7h3brudi]

"Authoritarianism in the Soviet Union didn't last." -Stubb Total BS!!! Russia has been authoritarian since the Mongol invasion up until the present day!!!

[@Rastereyes]

Seriously. If Putin is not authoritarian I don't know what is.

[@stasa-X]

They had some years with Yeltsin and the first years with Putin 😂 People now can vote with communism nobody could vote, only the Communist party 🥳 members, only one party.

[@macabee23]

So the european strategy for dealing with authoritarism is to wait it out.

[@frankk6416]

And the American strategy of voting them into power is somehow better?

[@MG-ye1hu]

I understand that a bold stance is somehow part of the game when he talks about Ukraine. But it is also dangerous if the expectations are so much detached from reality. Because then a compromise doesn't look like a compromise.

[@chimwemwetembo6446]

These people don't look at the big picture

[@francescazuidema9443]

Europeans have an extremely high vocabulary. Discussion is an important asset. In addition, they are more intrinsically motivated, which means that standards and values ​​always remain high. Americans are different, more individual, less familial and less culture, not necessarily less, but slightly more superficial. That is also the reason that Trump, Musk, etc. have very limited influence on Europe... decent content is missed

[@glenngrowe7105]

An "...extremely high vocabulary". Yeah, Europeans are bullshitters. Thank goodness what they say doesn't matter anymore.

[@Otto-Nuys]

Not much can be expected from Trump when it comes to establishing peace between Ukraine and Russia. Furthermore, China has surpassed the US in the field of AI with Deep Seek. Trump wants to set up a very heavy AI sector with the current Big Tech. It is often forgotten that innovations are more likely to be found in small, new companies (starters), not hindered by bureaucratic rules. Europe can certainly make a difference here and does not necessarily need a heavy high sector for that.

[@allydea]

After watching many hours of European politics, reading through the legislation, and working in a very large European bank (EU started as a economic partnership after all), I understand that rarely an European politician will make big statements that are not carefully calculated. Even the so called "public fights" are carefully orchestrated and usually fake. All that happens, happens in the background, because EU is very very political. Stubb will not say anything of importance publicly unless all the pieces are in place and it helps him to make it public.

[@krakhedd]

I love Stubb, but I think it's exceedingly dangerous to rely on histrionics especially amidst a world enveloped in so much chaos. We need to have clear understandings and clear policies built upon those understandings, regarding who and what we are as people within individual nations or even smaller communities, who we are to the rest of the globe, and what type of world we are seeking and supporting

[@Erik-rp1hi]

Getting Putin to agree that Ukraine is a state is going to be tough.

[@acd2050]

Americans are tired of subsiding the Europeans. The Europeans wanna have their own policies and then can protect themselves support themselves and take care of the shit on their own continent. Americans are tired of subsidizing Europe.

Imagine an ally telling you that a pipeline your building is going to result in a war, then asks please can you spend more on defense incase of this war. Then you continue to build the pipeline and decrease your defense spending. Then Russia invades Ukraine, you are completely reliant on Russian energy and you have no military capabilities. You scream to the US we need help!!

[@stephanmbenti2855]

🤣 🤣 this guys is not realistic and a joke. Just because his soft and well spoken doesn’t mean he knows what his talking about. Why would Putin agree to Ukraine being in NATO? And if am Putin why would I come to the negotiating table when am winning the war? Please make sense of this for me. The west lost its chance to negotiate with Russia before the war started. The negotiation talk is to slow Putin and arm Ukraine. It’s not in Putin’s interest to negotiate and the EU and Ukraine knows that.. they wanted war, now they are getting war

[@jonathanbowen3640]
