Melech 9,900 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 "DAVOS, Switzerland (Reuters) - The leaders of Germany and Italy warned at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday against a return to nationalism and protectionism, with Angela Merkel evoking the two world wars and openly questioning whether the world had learned from them. The speeches, given in quick succession, came one day before U.S. President Donald Trump arrives at the annual gathering of the global elite in the Swiss Alps to promote his "America First" policies. Trump has pulled the United States out of international agreements on trade and climate since taking power one year ago, unsettling countries in Europe and Asia who have looked to Washington to help shape global rules since World War Two. "We are seeing nationalism, populism and in a lot of countries a polarized atmosphere," Merkel told a packed auditorium where French President Emmanuel Macron will speak later on Wednesday and Trump on Friday. "We believe that isolation won't help us. We believe we need to cooperate, that protectionism is not the answer," she said, asking: "Have we really learned from history, or haven't we?" Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni, asked what his message to Trump was, offered a defense of multilateral cooperation and warned against steps to undermine that. "It is totally legitimate, understandable, the desire for political leaders to defend their own citizens, their own companies, their own economy," he said. "I respect that, but obviously there is a limit." The scene in Davos of two of the former Axis powers in World War Two cautioning the United States against nationalism was a sign of how much Trump's election has unsettled governments in Europe and altered the relationships that have existed since the war." https://www.aol.com/article/news/2018/01/24/trumps-davos-visit-sparks-anti-nationalist-rhetoric-from-merkel/23342527/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoful 13,304 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 That literally has nothing to do with the wars. Yes during the world wars the U.S. were in a state of nationalism and isolationism before they started but we had to come out of those states to bail all their asses out. The U.S. did not start any of the world wars. We only ended them. "My name is Dita, I'll be your Mistress tonight..." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it doesn’t have anything to do with the wars but sadly you’re about to start the third one that if Korea or Russia doesn’t do it before you but it will for sure be with you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That little midget dictator talks a big game but i dont think he has the balls to attack the US and that would be the only way it would happen. I highly doubt the U.S. would hit them first as much as I’d love to blow that evil midget into hell "My name is Dita, I'll be your Mistress tonight..."

JustinTrudeau 2,419 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I understand America wants to be independent and build back their economy and so on. But we live in such a borderless world now, that pulling back from major deals and pretending like it will be just fine on its own is not a way to make progression. Like it or not, America is very influential in economics and environment due to population size and relevancy, and you can't just sit in the corner, cover your ears, and go "my way only! I do this by myself!" I fell down the stairs once as an actor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
