Polish PM Donald Tusk says ‘all for one, and one for all’ in thinly veiled riposte to Republican frontrunner

European leaders have called for greater unity and military cooperation across the continent in response to comments from Donald Trump that threatened to undermine the basis of Nato.

Donald Tusk, Poland’s prime minister, said on a visit to Paris on Monday that there was “no alternative” to the EU and the transatlantic alliance before a summit in which he discussed deepening defence relationships with the French president, Emmanuel Macron.

“It is probably here in Paris that the words from The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas resonate most clearly: ‘All for one, and one for all,’” said Tusk, in a thinly veiled riposte to the former US president and frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination.

      No?

      You started off by calling Americans “dumb” for not thinking Biden has done a great job. I pointed out that wages have not kept up with inflation so it’s not surprising that many aren’t feeling the love for Biden.

      Then you argued that other countries have it worse, which I argued is irrelevant.

        And I pointed out that wages actually did go up, moreso than any other country on the planet. Then pointed out that inflation has been the lowest of any country as well! And cited it! Yet that is not good enough. No one has had it easier than Americans following the pandemic.

        Your feelings are not matching up with reality. Your situation might suck, idk but the overall situation is comparatively better than everywhere else.

          No one has had it easier than Americans following the pandemic.

          Once more, this is entirely irrelevant. People are hurting, they’re not making themselves feel better by comparing their economic situation with that of other countries.

          I really can’t be any clearer than this.

            Humanity is hurting worldwide, there is a major war taking place in two areas of the globe following a global pandemic. Seas are going to be choppy for a bit. But you have it better than everyone else. The situation is literally the best it can be right now.

            And make the most of it, you have a tremendous advantage. A historic low unemployment rate, highest wage growth and demand for blue collar workers ever. If you’re not in a great situation, remember you’re a free agent always and the market has never been hotter for you.

              I’ve no clue as to why you’ve pivoted to assuming my personal situation when I’ve given precisely no information about it, but it’s patronizing and creepy and you should stop now.
