By Bernd Posselt , President of German Paneuropa It's the classic nightmare: fire blazes in every corner of the huge building, but there aren't enough firemen to put out all the flames in time. Experts also disagree about where the fire is most dangerous and what needs to be saved most urgently. The geopolitical situation is similar at the moment, although there are always some conflicts, wars, civil conflicts and disasters in the world, the central focus is on the Russian attack on Ukraine for more than a year and a half. In particular, American policy, together with us Europeans, once again set a focus that mainly affects our continent, in a unity that Vladimir Putin did not expect.
A delegation from Washington Indonesia Phone Number List to Beijing recently made it clear that this is not a given and may be final. The US Senate Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer, bluntly told the Chinese that our two countries will determine the development of this century. "President Xi Jinping made a similar statement: 'The relationship between China and the US is the most important bilateral relationship in the world.' At least on this point, the main rivals agree and Europe does not play a role in this area. For now, we should be grateful that at least the "Biden" administration is on our side and committed to the two most dangerous European points: Ukraine and the Western Balkans.
In the last case, big fluctuations started in the White House months ago. Joe Biden and his very European Foreign Minister, Antony Blinken, who grew up in France, whom I was able to meet at the "Munich Security Conference", were known as friends of the Albanian people and the new Republic of Kosovo. The fact that they began to distance themselves from this relationship at the beginning of the summer, albeit quietly and slowly, had tactical reasons: they hoped that by sending signals of detente to the Serbian President, Aleksandar Vucic, they could avoid another front in the Balkans, except that of Ukraine. This is especially before the decisive presidential year of 2024 in the USA.
