Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson has sparked global debate with his blistering critique of Europe's relationship with the United States, comparing it to a 『toxic marriage』 in a viral interview this week. 🔥 The comments come amid renewed tensions over Donald Trump's 2026 threats to impose tariffs on EU nations and his controversial push to acquire Greenland.
Johnson, known for his geopolitical takes, didn't hold back: 『Imagine staying with a partner who threatens to sell your house or slap tariffs on your family—that's Europe clinging to U.S. dominance.』 His remarks tap into growing concerns about NATO's stability, with some experts calling this year 『the alliance's most fragile moment since the Cold War』.
🌐 Young Europeans are flooding social media with #ToxicAlliance memes, while policymakers debate whether the continent can forge independent defense strategies. As one Berlin student told us: 『Why should Gen Z pay the price for political Stockholm syndrome?』
With Trump's shadow looming over the 2026 geopolitical chessboard, analysts warn the real crisis isn't just about tariffs—it's about whether transatlantic trust can survive another era of transactional diplomacy. 💼⚖️
