Highlights from the Munich Security Circus

If this twelvemonth’s muenchen certificate group discussion proven one thing, it’s that nobody involved has done any reflection on the lessons of last year. The Americans continued to berate their European ‘allies’, while the Europeans resorted to comic-book catchphrases to defend a dying world order.
Running from Friday through Sunday, this year’s conference was always going to center on the widening gulf between the US and EU. Conference Foundation President Wolfgang Ischinger spelled this out in a report published before the summit, accusing US President Donald Trump of taking a “wrecking ball” to the post-WWII liberal order. As such, he wrote, “the United States’ evolving view of the international order” would be the focus of almost every discussion in Munich.
“We in America have no interest in being polite and orderly caretakers of the West’s managed decline,” US Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared in his keynote speech on Saturday. Over the next 20 minutes, Rubio laid out a vision of the US and EU uniting to rebuild the empires of old, unconstrained by climate policy, “anti-colonial” sentiment, and “mass migration that threatens the cohesion of our societies.”
