@green3delta @BM5k @0hour1 For conventional warfare on the ground and artillery, conventional firepower, ammo production and of course nukes. In every other category EU is already bigger than RU. The main issue is no conformity in arms systems used and no central command.The rest can be caught up in years

@19MM76 @BM5k @0hour1 What have YOU done to protect your selves? Englands parliament is on record admitting they are underfunded for defense, why? Because your daddy is in Europe protecting you with our presence. Your military’s combined aren’t even a speed bump for China or Russia.

Trump needs to do the following Pull everything globally Empty every base across the world. Bring all assets to the homeland. And ignore them all, including Europe.

@green3delta @BM5k @0hour1 Yes way too little and it took a while to sink in. And no that was not because of the protection by the US that we actually never needed except the deterrent effect, we were so naive to believe we were finally in an extended period of peace. But yes i agree, please gtfo of Europe

@green3delta @BM5k @0hour1 You're only a deterrent with theoretically to be used military power that was never actually used in Europe. But with how your current admin behaved in the last year, and how you're failing in Iran you're deterring more allies than enemies at this moment.

@19MM76 @BM5k @0hour1 lol I don’t care. We have paid to protect you for decades and all you losers do is piss and moan about us. Sink or swim.

@green3delta @BM5k @0hour1 This includes for example nato air bases where you happen to have a small unit because the nukes stored there are yours and under your command, but you can't just demolish the airbase.

@green3delta @BM5k @0hour1 A lot of them have never been your base and never will be but are shared facilities. If you ignore this and demolish those that effectively are fully our property on our soil, we will just send you the bill one way or the other.

@NoContextDutch1 Limburg. But not only of NL, also of BE. Like i relocated 5km. am still living in the same province, speak the same local dialect variant but live in a different country now.

What is the best region in the Netherlands?

@BM5k @0hour1 Because you won't get a license for demolition of our bases on our souvereign soil that we allow you to use, mostly rent free and fund a large part of the infrastructure etc.

@0hour1 Dismantle the bases as well. Why leave perfectly serviceable installations?

@itsraheel21 @grok @stats_feed Until 1937 it was even 19min.32s which was then simplified to flat 20mins. The reason was that it was centered on the mean solar time of the Westertoren, the tower of the Westerchurch in Amsterdam, since before the standardized timezones were introduced in the late 19th century.

@grok @stats_feed Why did they have such an odd time in the first place?

🇳🇱 The Netherlands's timezone once used to be UTC +00:20. After Germany invaded and occupied they changed the timezone to Berlin's (UTC +01:00). The Dutch were liberated in 1945 but never switched back to their old timezone.

@TomasZdechovsky @JDVance I'm still laughing about that statement about destroying HU economy. HU has been one of the biggest parasites (net beneficiaries) since they joined the EU, if anything HU still has an economy thanks to EU. Lovely country so good investment, but not to fill corrupt Orban's pockets

Diplomatic talent @JDVance has just discovered Brussels — apparently a place of “tyranny” where countries are expected to follow rules they themselves agreed to. Fascinating. The idea that protecting the rule of law equals “destroying the economy” is truly a new chapter in political imagination. But I’ll give him this — an American politician lecturing Europe not to interfere in elections? That’s a fresh one. 🙂

@TheDailyDraught Not great. Unfortunately in my country there's generally only 3 or 4 Irish brands max available even in liquor stores. All the rest is Scotch and Boubon. Of those few available i generally prefer Bushmills.

What do you think of Jameson Irish Whiskey?

@BamaSaltyMarine Context matters, he said this about running an army, not about a head of state. I care less about the few profane words than about literally threatening with full genocide. Rhetoric or not, if that as a head of state pops in your mind you're sick. No dictator even said that.

To those of you fretting about President Trump's profane message to Iranian leaders. Might I direct you to something once said by the great Gen. George S. Patton. "You can't run an army without profanity; and it has to be eloquent profanity. An army without profanity couldn't fight its way out of a piss-soaked paper bag. Patton said the use of swear words was part of cultivating a "war face." This is not a church social or high tea - this is war, folks.

@kalmantibs @IAmSophiaNelson With potholes of incomprehensible size and depth.

@IAmSophiaNelson All roads lead to Moscow. 🥷🏻🏴‍☠️

Serious question--what is Trump's fixation with Victor Orban and Hungary? What am I missing? Seriously??

@MarioNawfal Nothing masterful about getting your rhetoric to the level of literally threatening with full genocide. If that as a head of state even pops in your mind then you're really a sick fuck unfit for office. Even though i don't believe he would do it, there's no downplaying this.

Tonight will answer the question everyone is asking: Did Trump lose his mind, or is he a master negotiator?

@ChageNijn Zelfs voor superhelden fantasy hebben we de VS niet nodig, f marvel wij hebben:

@WalshFreedom Taco's gonna taco. But indeed, if it even pops in your mind to literally threaten with full genocide as rhetoric as a head of state, then you're an evil and sick fuck and unfit for office.

Here the thing: Trump lies as he breathes, and he makes threats that he always walks back. He’s been nothing but a lying/bullshitting marketer of himself his whole life. So when he threatens to end Iranian civilization tonight, odds are it’s an empty threat. But…even MAKING the threat is abhorrent, sickening, deranged, & dangerous. But alas, I’m a broken record: He’s utterly unfit for office, he’s always been utterly unfit for office, and he should be removed from power immediately. 25th Amendment.

@Eng_china5 Now start dumping those treasury debt bonds (not all at once, phased for max effect), hurry up with establishing EU payment system, detack everything from USD and only trade in EUR; don't ratify the extorted trade deal, start uniforming EU weapons systems, establish central comm

France stabs the United States in the back. Alongside its growing closeness to the East, the French Republic has disposed of 129 tons of French gold stored in New York, selling it and purchasing an equivalent amount of gold in Europe. All of France’s gold reserves are now located in Paris, no longer in the United States as was previously the case

@EricLDaugh Partly as a result of being pressured by the US to not buy Russian energy, threats of sanctions and other measures if opening Nord Stream2 incl. sabotaging it. And Trump even repeated that last year to stop buy from RU or else face consequences.

🚨 BREAKING: JD Vance just DROPPED THE MIC in Hungary "Very often the people who accuse this or that leader of being pro-Russia are the VERY PEOPLE who CREATED an energy weak economy in Europe, and that has done more than ANYTHING to make Ukraine weak and Russia strong!" 🫳🏻🎤🔥

@NiohBerg Nothing special, only destroying the entire Iranian civilization that exists roughly since 2 millenia, 3 centuries and 5 decades longer than the US. That's how much he understands "the real people of Iran". The last sentence contradicts this, bit can also be read as farewell:

I don't know what President Trump is planning tomorrow. But he understands the real people of Iran much better than every other world leader. He has clearly learned a lot from having Rubio beside him. "They have lived in a world you know nothing about."
