BREAKING: 🇺🇸 Former U.S. President, Barack Obama: “We cannot launch military operations to get out of an ideological or technological problem. History has taught us that conflicts in the Middle East are easy to start, but almost impossible to end in an orderly way. We must recognize that peace is not built on rubble, but on a regional architecture that provides stability. We must choose between difficult and persistent diplomacy, or a perpetual regional war that has no winners, only victims.”

I am not sure the American military establishment has fully grasped what Trump has actually done here. So let me spell it out in language even a Pentagon procurement officer can understand. Europe has been buying American weapons at a staggering rate. In 2024 alone, US foreign military sales notifications to European countries hit $76 billion. Four times the European average since 2008.  F-35s, missile systems, air defence, ammunition. All of it American. All of it coming with decades of service contracts, maintenance agreements, spare parts, software updates and training programmes worth hundreds of billions more over their operational lifetimes. Between 2020 and 2024, the United States supplied 64 percent of all European weapons imports.  That is now over. Europe has an $860 billion defence plan, and American contractors are being frozen out. The goal is 80 percent of all military purchases from European factories by 2030.  Airbus. Rheinmetall. KNDS. Saab. Leonardo. BAE Systems. They are about to receive the largest order book in the history of European defence industry. Because Trump made it politically impossible for any European government to keep writing cheques to Washington. Some European governments have discussed worries that the Pentagon could remotely disable American F-35 fighters or impose restrictions on how US weapons can be used.  When your supplier is also threatening to annex your allies, that is not paranoia. That is basic procurement logic. Trump set out to make America great again. He has succeeded magnificently. For Rheinmetall. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

Ofcourse it's unlikely but it could also happen exactly as I said or even more dramatic. The point is NATO needs to be protected by all, because it is an alliance that has relatively kept the balance of peace in the world, the moment it is dismantled there is no knowing what will follow. So u Europeans should stop being so flippant about it. Nobody is asking u to join the war but if u cant join the war just keep ur mouth shut and let those I it deal with it.

@Obongeno2 @Dc30235323 @Microinteracti1 @steven_cas85123 First of, China is exercising restraint because it doesn't yet wanto confront the US. The problem with u guys is that u have no understanding of history. World wars have started from things less dramatic. We are heading back to those days, once this alliances fall apart.

You have really stacked the dice, my friend. We can read the stats either frankly or continue to delude ourselves. You started your analysis well, but zoomed off on a trajectory that is not based on the facts presented. The US is energy sufficient; Europe is not. It can be if it abandons its rubbish hamstring of trying to appeal to its fairy tale sustainability pursuits. Militarily, Europe becomes exposed to other players who might want to test it both internally and externally. Europe doesn't have a history of unity. In fact, it was the theatre of war until the formation of NATO. European unity, one might say, has been driven by the safety of NATO, underwritten and underpinned by the security that the US provided by being part of that alliance. Without the US, old rivalries may rear their heads. Turkey has ambitions; Russia is in the corner; there are other niggling issues between other countries that may begin to develop into something bigger. The US, on the other hand, may lose access to Europe, but it won't be isolated. It is too powerful and will be able to attract other alliances. It still has Asia (Korea, Japan, etc.) Without the US, China may muscle in on Europe; Europe can't withstand China. With China muscling in from one side and Russia on the other, Europe would need to make some kind of treaty or go to war to establish its supremacy. Seeing its current state of lethargy and inability to mobilise for war, it most likely will choose to make a treaty. You know that Chinese treaties usually give China the upper hand. Europe effectively becomes a vassal state of China. The Chinese, having suffered derision from Europe for several years, wouldn't be content with just a treaty and may team up with Russia and Turkey to conquer Europe. Europe, unable to fight, surrenders to the adversary. All this, because Europe wanted to show America that it can stand up for itself. Yeah, let's keep stacking the dice!!

@HowardKech @Microinteracti1 @steven_cas85123 The point is that decades of integration will be destroyed by one administration. Thousands of jobs. Billions of dollars. Europe won't crumble.The only real US export,FMS, will collapse. No strategic preplacement of assets and a loss of global reach gone. Let alone intel sharing

@Microinteracti1 @steven_cas85123 In one breath you are saying Europe is buying American weapons at very high premium and in another breath you are saying that the spare parts of these american weapons are actually made and sold by Europe to America. So what's your point exactly?

Build our own? We already build half of yours. F-35 components. Javelin parts. Patriot radar subassemblies. HIMARS ammunition. Abrams spare parts. Lockheed Martin is on its knees begging European factories to keep its own production lines moving. Strip out the European components and the most advanced military on earth grinds to a halt. Europe is Ferrari. Europe is Mercedes. Precision. Engineering. Built to last a generation. America is Chevrolet. Loud. Big. Breaks down the moment it crosses the warranty line.

Most of the European Countries and their news media were salivating at the thought of the Iranians catching the American Soldier in Iran. The truth is, the Europeans hate Trump so much that they want America to lose the war so they can gloat. I have no skin in the game; however, you can't say you are allied to someone and not so secretly rooting for them to fail The death of NATO is a natural outcome of the current deep-rooted ideological differences between the Europeans and the Americans. For an Ideological alliance like NATO, you cannot have this level of difference in the ideologies of the core sides and still survive. The Europeans are too Woke that even the European Right is currently Left. The Americans are Pragmatic and will not shift in their core values at least for now. The only hope for the survival of NATO is that the Dems win the next Presidential election in the US. If the Republicans win the next election, then NATO is gone.

The human brain processes visual information 60,000x faster than text. Humans are visual processors, not text processors. Images hit the brain instantly. Words take work. That's why a single SpaceX launch video communicates more than a thousand-word essay—and why your slide decks hit harder than paragraphs. We're wired for pictures, not prose.

Not completely true that it is paid for by the US taxpayer, at least not by temporary immigrants. Most Temporary immigrants pay between 20k and 60k in hospital bills alone, excluding any accommodation and everything else. That is why most hospitals prefer them as they pay cash without the rigours of going through insurance. And most of the parents are some of the most pro american people in the world. Talk about projecting American power. These parents defend America in wherever they find themselves, because of that. There is a soft power argument which is being neglected in this argument

Well depends of the dynamics before the loss. Of you used money as a mean of power in that relation then it's done when you're moneyless. Also , how useful are you in the House without a job? Many of your kind won't lay a finger "cause they are men" in that case , it's deserved

If you haven't experienced it you won't understand. Most marriages dont recover from that experience, even when the man eventually gets a good job, because of the disrespect most women exhibit during that period of joblessness. It takes serious sensitivity from the woman during that period and understanding and personal commitment to the marriage from the man to survive that period. But U go see shege!!

@EYakoby Because they and he especially are so blinded by hatred that they fail to analyse based on what is before them. Their analyses are simply expressions of their prejudices rather than anything logical.

John Kiriakou at the start of Operation Epic Fury: “If Iran sinks an aircraft carrier, it would trigger World War III. There’s no defense against hypersonic missiles, and Iran possesses them.” Never before have people been so wrong so often.

There are many babies born in the US by pure bred Americans parents who are raised as communists and fascists. It's not children born foreign parents that will destroy America, it's children born and bred in the US by parents who have no idea of what it means to be an American that will destroy America.

🚨 NOW: President Trump just witnessed a MASTERCLASS where Solicitor General John Sauer gave a perfect response to Justice John Roberts on birthright citizenship "What does that mean, subject to the jurisdiction thereof? And he says, it means not owing allegiance to ANYBODY ELSE. That is what it means." Illegal aliens owe allegiance to their country of birth, not America. Open and shut.

I support Donald Trump with every support I can muster, but on this matter I disagree with him and his interpretation. I understand what his fears are, but I believe there are other instruments that can be implemented to tackle those fears without depriving rights where the Constitution has not deprived it.

@EricLDaugh Foreign mothers can not be allowed to hop on a flight at 8 months, and wait here a little bit, then give birth in America, and suddenly, their child gets citizenship and all the perks. Plus, the child can serve as an anchor for the family! No. We will go bankrupt.
