FURIOUS World Leaders CUT OUT Trump from DEALS IN WAR!!! youtu.be/cbL4mD1OtOE?si… via @YouTube

@EvolutiaR @IlvesToomas Rubio lies as readily as his boss, about whom he once had a clear view: x.com/highbrow_nobro…

@EvolutiaR The facts

@EvolutiaR Fact check Europe don’t need them. USA wants the bases to access the Middle East and Africa.

@EvolutiaR Yes sir. It's exactly as you say, word for word. Not just that, depending on how you do the numbers the truth comes out easily, like for 2026, this year, actual and per capita.

@EvolutiaR @NFX360 @secrubio you don’t get to use NATO forces to start wars on nations that have not attacked a NATO country. U.S. does not fund 62% of NATO budget.

100,000 American troops in Europe = a free ride for Europeans? Let's check the facts. 🔹 American military bases are not free Germany, Italy, Spain, and Romania pay for the infrastructure, land, utilities, and civilian personnel of US bases. Germany alone contributes over $1 billion annually to support the American military presence on its soil. 🔹 Europe is the largest customer of the American defense industry F-35s, Patriot missiles, HIMARS, Apaches — all purchased by Europeans with real money. Every security alarm in Europe translates into contracts for Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Boeing. 🔹 American bases in Europe don't only protect Europe Ramstein in Germany coordinates operations across Africa and the Middle East. Sigonella in Italy covers the Mediterranean and North Africa. Romania secures the eastern flank and the Black Sea. These are global American strategic assets — not neighborhood security for Europeans. 🔹 Command is American, not European NATO is always led by an American Supreme Commander (SACEUR). Europe contributes troops, bases, and money — but America holds the controls. Those who control the structure are not the ones getting a free ride. 🔹 The nuclear umbrella is not altruism American nuclear deterrence in Europe keeps the dollar as the world's reserve currency, keeps European markets open to US corporations, and legitimizes American hegemony against Russia and China. But what would actually happen if America withdrew its troops from Europe? 🔹 For America — immediate strategic losses Without bases in Europe, American response time to any crisis in Europe, Africa, or the Middle East grows from hours to days. Ramstein, Sigonella, and Incirlik cannot be replaced by aircraft carriers. Infrastructure built over decades disappears overnight. 🔹 The American defense industry loses its biggest customer A Europe without the US umbrella will build its own defense industry — and fast. Airbus Military, KNDS, Leonardo, and Rheinmetall will take the contracts that Lockheed and Raytheon currently win. Billions of dollars shift from America to Europe. 🔹 The dollar weakens Dollar hegemony is partly sustained by American global military credibility. A withdrawal from Europe signals to the world that America no longer guarantees the postwar order. Alternatives — the euro, the yuan — become more attractive as global reserve options. 🔹 Russia wins without firing a single shot Not necessarily through immediate invasion — but through political influence, energy pressure, and the gradual destabilization of countries on the eastern frontier. The Baltic states, Poland, and Romania enter a security grey zone that no one can guarantee quickly. 🔹 China watches and draws conclusions about Taiwan A precedent of withdrawal from Europe sends a direct signal to Beijing: American commitments are negotiable. The cost of deterrence in the Pacific rises exponentially. Withdrawal is not isolationism. It is strategic abdication. America would not be leaving Europe because it no longer has interests there. It would be leaving while ignoring that those very interests are what make it a superpower. The "free ride" narrative doesn't describe Europe. It describes exactly what America has in Europe.

❗️Denmark plans to abandon Italian guns on its future navy ships in favor of Swedish Bofors guns in order to achieve unification with Sweden as part of strengthening defense cooperation among the Nordic countries.

Maria Popova, a McGill University associate professor of political science and expert on Russia’s war against Ukraine, finds strategic similarities with Moscow’s 2014 use of separatists in the Donbas region as a Trojan horse for its expansionist interests: “A much larger neighbor, showing interest in what is actually a very fringe movement, and trying to turn that fringe movement into a separatist one with an appearance of legitimacy,” she explains. “They seemed to emerge from nowhere and have been presented as what I have called in some texts ‘instant separatists.’” Patrick Lennox, former intelligence manager for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and a PhD in international relations; this latest meeting is particularly troubling: “You don’t walk into a secure room by accident. There was a reason why the meeting between APP and those who met with them at the State Department was held in a secure environment.” english.elpais.com/international/…

I prefer dismissal over coffins.
