Culture Tips | Trump's Davos Speech - A Masterclass in Diplomatic Fails

Описание: A world leader stood in Switzerland—where German is literally an official language—and told European allies "Without us, you'd all be speaking German."

The room went silent. Not because they were grateful. Because they were stunned that in 2026, we're still hearing rhetoric from 1955. Then he suggested buying Greenland and criticized Denmark for surrendering too quickly in 1940. This is what happens when diplomatic strategy meets cultural tone-deafness. 🤦‍♀️

What we cover:
✅ Why American "you'd be speaking German" rhetoric lands like a brick in 2026 = Europe moved on 80 years ago
✅ How Trump criticized Denmark for WW2 but ignored they lost MORE soldiers per capita in Afghanistan supporting the US
✅ Why suggesting "buying Greenland" sounds colonial to Europeans but normal to some Americans = different history with land acquisition
✅ What Trump's speech left out: NATO Article 5 invoked ONCE in history = to defend America after 9/11, NOT Europe
✅ How transactional American diplomacy clashes with European partnership culture = "you owe us" vs. mutual respect
