Comments by "Happy Melon" (@happymelon7129) on "How should Europe react to a future without US protection – and with an emboldened Russia? | DW News" video.
On February 14, Singapore’s Minister of Defense (Ng Eng Hen) pointed out during a roundtable discussion at the 61st Munich Security Conference that Asian countries’ views of the United States have changed from being once regarded as a force of “moral legitimacy” to being akin to a “rent-collecting landlord.” He gave an example: "As far as Asia is concerned, in the 60 years since former US President John F. Kennedy delivered his inaugural address, the existence of the United States has been based on a kind of 'moral legitimacy', that is, a kind of tyranny (colonial rule) will not be replaced by an iron-fisted tyranny. Today, the United States is in a dilemma - its image has been reduced from a liberator to a rampaging spoiler, and finally transformed into a profit-taking charterer."
