Europe Turns Away From U.S. Toward Russia

With top U.S. Army General saying that Russia can destroy the U.S., Europe seems to slowly turn away from Washington, just like U.S. allies in the Middle East do.Europe and the Obama administration have had a number of differences lately, particularly on everything that has to do with Russia. But American journalists noted a sharp increase in criticism from European leaders and media toward the U.S., and particularly toward U.S. President Barack Obama.

“For years, Europe treated Mr. Obama as virtually untouchable, an off-limits symbol of positive change in America,” American journalist John Vinocur told Sputnik News. Vinocur reminded that back in 2008, the entire Europe was enchanted by Barack Obama’s promises to change the world for the better.
