I respectfully disagree with Secretary Rubio's suggestion that Western civilization is headed toward decline. We face challenges, certainly, but our democratic institutions, freedoms and ingenuity remain strong. What concerns me more is the contradiction between his words and this administration's actions. You cannot preach the importance of Western values and strong alliances while pursuing policies that strain those very relationships and undermine confidence in our institutions. If we're serious about protecting Western civilization, we should start by strengthening democracy, respecting the rule of law and rebuilding trust with our allies. Those are the values worth defending.

🇺🇸🇽🇰 A Message of Gratitude to President Donald J. Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and the United States Administration I wish to express my sincere appreciation and profound respect to President Donald J. Trump, U.S. Secretary of State Mr. Marco Rubio, and the entire United States Administration for their commitment to American leadership, international diplomacy, global security, and the pursuit of lasting peace. Secretary Rubio’s address at the historic Acropolis in Greece reminds us of the importance of Western civilization, democratic values, international partnerships, and the responsibility of nations to protect freedom and stability. I extend my gratitude to President Trump and his administration for their diplomatic efforts and commitment to strengthening America’s international partnerships, supporting its allies, and seeking peaceful solutions to global challenges. The United States, together with its NATO allies and international partners, has played an essential role in supporting peace, security, and stability in Europe and the Western Balkans, particularly in the Republic of Kosovo. We deeply appreciate the historic contribution of the American people, the U.S. Armed Forces, American diplomacy, and NATO-led KFOR to Kosovo’s freedom and security. World peace must remain our highest common responsibility. Through dialogue, mutual respect, strong international cooperation, and responsible leadership, we can build a safer and more prosperous future for generations to come. May the friendship between the United States and Kosovo continue to grow stronger. God bless the United States of America, the Republic of Kosovo, and all nations working for peace. Ilir Mezelxhiu CEO AMERIKAN MENAGEMENT LLC. ⸻ 🇽🇰🇺🇸 Mesazh falënderimi për Presidentin Donald J.

Shpreh falënderimet e mia për Presidentin Trump dhe administratën e tij për përpjekjet diplomatike, forcimin e partneriteteve ndërkombëtare të Amerikës, mbështetjen e aleatëve dhe angazhimin për zgjidhje paqësore të sfidave globale.

Përmes dialogut, respektit të ndërsjellë, bashkëpunimit të fuqishëm ndërkombëtar dhe udhëheqjes së përgjegjshme, mund të ndërtojmë një të ardhme më të sigurt dhe më të begatë për brezat që vijnë. Miqësia ndërmjet Shteteve të Bashkuara të Amerikës dhe Republikës së Kosovës u forcoftë gjithmonë.

EUROPE’S AWAKENING BEGINS WITH UNDERSTANDING WHAT MUST BE DEFENDED Today, the issue of defending Western civilization is ceasing to be an abstract discussion for Europe. This new understanding is becoming particularly visible in Germany. There is an increasingly noticeable desire to speak once again about what forms the foundation of the West: freedom, security, political responsibility, cultural continuity, and the ability to defend its own way of life. At the same time, a broader European circle of states is gradually forming around Germany—countries that are beginning to view these questions not as an abstract ideology, but as an issue concerning their own future. In this sense, one can speak of a kind of European awakening—a return to the understanding that a civilization survives only when it recognizes its own value and is prepared to defend it. And here, the American factor is especially important. Germany is increasingly seeking close strategic cooperation with the United States because the question of the transatlantic alliance goes far beyond defense alone. What is at stake is the preservation of a common political and civilizational space of the West. Therefore, Marco Rubio’s words about the defense of Western civilization can be understood not simply as an American appeal to Europe. They coincide with a process that is already developing within Europe itself: Germany is becoming increasingly aware of the need for a strong transatlantic bond, while more and more European states are beginning, alongside it, to redefine what exactly the West must preserve, defend, and pass on to the next generation.
