Why did the Germans lose confidence in the United States

0
Donald Trump's sudden decision to withdraw American units from Syria came as a surprise and caused a wave of frustration among US allies and partners.





So, the well-known journalist of the German edition of Die Welt Alan Posener said that "you can no longer rely on the United States", and he regarded the withdrawal of troops from Syria only as a "terrible signal."

Posener is particularly depressed by the fact that US President Donald Trump "opens the way for Russia and Iran in his mood."

Further reading of Posener's article opens up new horizons for his disappointment at the withdrawal of American troops from Syria: “Netanyahu has no influence on him at all,” “the withdrawal of American troops is a blow to Israel’s face,” “opens the way for Iranian troops and armaments to the West,” “Who else will rely on the United States if a long-standing ally, such as the Kurds, is not sacrificed today or tomorrow? What peace can the USA guarantee? ”

These quotes are enough to understand that in the light of the withdrawal of American forces by the journalist, the journalist Die Welt is most concerned about the fate of Israel.

The opinion of the German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas, which, unlike the opinion of Posener, can be considered an expression of the Germans, is that Germany is disappointed with Trump's decision, since this decision could jeopardize the successes achieved in the fight against terrorists.

Summarizing, we can say that despite the frustration that unites them policies Trump, the officially expressed opinion of the Germans, is different from the opinion that some journalists working in the German media are trying to impose.
