European officials, with complete disbelief at the chaos surrounding america’s presidential election, have desperately tried to get out of it in recent months.
“We don’t need anything to do with your damn election,” a Kiev official told BuzzFeed News last week, summarizing the feelings of a troubled continent that has noticed that its alliance with the United States is eroded under President Donald Trump.
But after the president declared victory a few hours after the closure of polling stations, prompting false accusations of mass fraud, several of America’s closest allies may no longer remain silent.
With several states yet to be officially on Wednesday morning, German Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer called the US election a “very explosive situation” and warned of the option of a “constitutional crisis. “
British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab was more optimistic, asked for patience and said the UK had complete confidence in the controls and balances of the US electoral process.
“We have to be patient and wait and see who wins the U. S. election,” he tweeted, warning that it is “important that the procedure has enough time to succeed in a conclusion. “
Not everyone was so measured. Alexander Stubb, Finland’s former prime minister, called the election a “test of resistance” for American democracy. “I still need to do it in [the] recoverability of its democratic institutions, but I’m involved in the speech we just heard from realDonaldTrump,” he tweeted.
Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland’s prime minister, also tweeted her fear and intentionally took a hit on trump’s party. “Hours and days crucial to the integrity of American democracy,” he said. “I hope we’re starting to hear the voices of Republicans that importance this. “
Slovenia’s right-wing Prime Minister Janez Jansa gave the impression of being the only leader or official of the European Union who brazenly Trump, whose wife was born in the Central European country.
“It’s pretty transparent that Americans chose @realDonaldTrump @Mike_Pence for 4 more years,” he wrote on Twitter, prompting the social network to call him disinformation.

In addition to Trump to undermine the outcome of the election, there were also considerations about what instability meant for Europe’s own stability.
America’s “deep polarization,” Tweeted Manfred Weber, a German politician who heads the European People’s Party, the European Parliament’s largest political organisation, will be a “warning” to the EU. “If we lose the ability to engage,” our democracies are in danger,” he wrote.
And some Europeans feared that the uncertainty surrounding the election would play the game for our opponents, especially Russia, which aspires to see a broken EU.
“The champagne corks are erupting in Moscow and Beijing,” Tweeted the European Commission’s most sensible official in Germany, Jorg Wojahn, referring to the champagne-soaked party hosted by a Russian ultranationalist lawmaker following Trump’s wonderful victory in 2016.
Russia gave the impression that it was enjoying Trump’s intelligent early functionality, with a world-class TV news program necessarily calling the race for him overnight. “Biden is ahead of schedule for now, but he was barely given a chance,” the news host falsely told the audience before throwing himself into a Trump-inspired dance in the air.
However, as effects on major states on the battlefield began to paint an image that gave the impression that Biden’s chances were improving, the tone in Moscow changed.
Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of the Kremlin-controlled RT television channel, expressed her frustration.
“Neither loose nor fair, ” he tweeted, after a series of tweets full of false ones about the election.
The Kremlin’s preference for Trump is clear, according to U. S. intelligence, and Russian President Vladimir Putin has even publicly admitted that Trump is his candidate in 2016.
However, while polls before the election indicated Biden’s victory, the Russian leader gave the impression that he raised his bets, rejecting Trump’s accusations that Biden’s family circle had been involved in the habit of criminals in Eastern Europe.
Konstantin Kilimnik, the enigmatic Ukrainian Russian political agent who joined through BuzzFeed News on the eve of the election, was charged through the workplace of former special reformer Robert Mueller for conspiracy to obstruct justice and obstruction of justice, and from whom the FBI said he had “links to Russian intelligence,” biden’s presidency tried to play like anything the Kremlin would appreciate.
The reason? Senior Moscow officials, such as the Kremlin’s first deputy chief of staff, Sergey Kiriyenko, “know the top officials of the democratic party well and believe they can locate raids on biden’s administration,” Kilimnik told BuzzFeed News via WhatsApp.
Besides, he said, the Russian political elite are “looking forward to getting back to normal” and “she believes Biden is the one who will do well,” he said.
Biden, however, called Russia the biggest risk to U. S. national security and warned that it would bring a much more difficult technique to Moscow than Trump.
