[quote=Anonymous]What's the point of having spies anymore if the Trump admin is trumpeting its disdain for its allies for all to see?

Now Europe Knows What Trump’s Team Calls It Behind Its Back: ‘Pathetic’

Trump officials have demanded more European military spending and questioned the continent’s values. Leaked messages show the depth of the rift.

rump administration officials haven’t kept their disdain for Europe quiet. But the contempt seems to be even louder behind closed doors.

Europeans reacted with a mix of exasperation and anger to the publication of parts of a discussion between top-ranking Trump administration officials, carried out on the messaging app Signal. The discussion, about a planned strike on Yemen, was replete with comments that painted Europeans as geopolitical parasites, and was revealed on Monday in The Atlantic, whose editor was inadvertently included in the conversation.

“I just hate bailing out the Europeans again,” wrote Vice President JD Vance, asserting that the strikes would benefit Europe far more than the United States.

“I fully share your loathing of European freeloading,” Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defense, later replied. “It’s PATHETIC.”
