Wessen Lack ich sauf, dessen Lied ich sing.

@Michaelnz60 @DzisMaksym What big hole? The only serious threat to Europe is Russia and Russia is stuck in a forever war against Ukraine, even though support for Ukraine has been lackluster.

@MichaWassmann @DzisMaksym Great 👍👍👍 USA pulling out will still leave big hole of active military in EU.. fact..

🇪🇺🇺🇦🇺🇸 The EU is preparing backup alliances in case of a crisis in NATO, and Ukraine is there, - Politico Alternatives: 🔹 JEF is a rapid response group for northern European countries led by Britain, and Ukraine is among its partners. 🔹 Nordefco is defense cooperation between Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. "It is quite clear that NATO is already falling apart. We cannot wait for it to completely die," said one EU official.

@Michaelnz60 @DzisMaksym The European NATO is the second-largest fighting force in the world. Only second to the US. Concentrated on one continent. I think we'll be fine. Feel free to elect a sane president we can be allies with again. Good luck finding a new logistics hub unti then!

@MichaWassmann @DzisMaksym This is true all members are meant to pay 5% of gdp on countries military, many do not not 😔 - however, should the USA pull out and remove all USA military servives, equipment from EU /UK soil - the EU / Nato will have real big hole in active military power in EU countries...

@MarkGre36833335 @DzisMaksym @UkrReview This does not work without the US, unfortunately. Europe cannot project power in the Pacific and vice-versa. A sane Republican president might have initiated an integration of US alliances between its allies in the Pacific and the Atlantic. Alas we are stuck with the Donald.

@DzisMaksym @UkrReview I'd hope that any new alliance would include ukraine, Canada, Japan Australia as well as the EU countries and the UK. Maybe call it the alliance of the sane 🤔

@Michaelnz60 @DzisMaksym Those 2/3rd relate to the total defence budget of the US. That's all the money that goes into your military, not just in Europe. Europeans spend half that much, but mostly on defending their home turf, not to project power to the pacific.

@DzisMaksym 🤣🤣🤣🤣 USA funds 2/3 of NATO... clearly Ukraine have no money as they continually begging for funds.. UK is on its knees - fun fact: UK army have twice as many horses as mainline battle tanks - their nuke capability is leased from USA.. Good luck

@InternLon @impersonator999 @pl_european I don't understand yours either. What has building a coalition and actually preparing and planning ahead for the war you want to fight to do with your views on European energy or immigration policy? Nothing.

@MichaWassmann @impersonator999 @pl_european What policy? I don’t understand your point

He isn’t supplying anything, Europe is paying for it all.

@InternLon @impersonator999 @pl_european I love how your only answer to this is "But I don't agree with some European policy" like it matters or is relevant to anything.

@MichaWassmann @impersonator999 @pl_european Those wise Europeans that have successfully managed… what? A thriving business environment? Energy security? Secure borders? Name one successful thing the Europeans have done in the last 20 years that would give anyone confident that they could discern any “uncomfortable truths”

@InternLon @impersonator999 @pl_european And maybe somebody from the European side would probably have told Trump the uncomfortable truth, that this thing would not be over in 3 days and contingency plans were needed for the Strait, for the Regime not backing down to an air campaign, etc..

@InternLon @impersonator999 @pl_european It would probably not have been that hard to do this: Fly to Paris, reaffirm your commitment to Ukraine, publicly say how you really feel about Greenland and re-align US and European interests on Iran. So Europeans actually know what they're getting themselves into.

@InternLon @impersonator999 @pl_european Libyia, Somali Pirates, Yemen ... there's probably plenty more examples. But your big American Ego suddenly cannot stomach anymore to ask politely and agree on a plan before going to war, instead of demanding blind obedience after the fact.

@InternLon @impersonator999 @pl_european Other US presidents have successfully built military coalitions with the Europeans. Multiple times. Against ISIS, against Iraq, against Al-Qaeda, against Serbia You just want to leave NATO and fashion your beliefs accordingly. It doesn't matter what Europeans do. You don't care.

FUCK!

@inspectah_duke @NewReaganCaucus But you're not. Your president wants to spend even more money on the military and even less on healthcare.

@MichaWassmann @NewReaganCaucus We are changing them now retard. The empire was a mistake. Enjoy your freedom.

People don't get that our criticisms of how some European leaders are handling the war are because we like NATO and want it to continue. Of course, this isn't a huge surprise with how terribly Trump treated Denmark and Ukraine.

@inspectah_duke @NewReaganCaucus I'm sorry, Europe has done something, that enables us to spend a lot of money on our military *and* on the welfare of our people. I know it's a hard blow to the American Ego, because you let yourself be tricked into believing that was impossible. But maybe just get over it?

@inspectah_duke @NewReaganCaucus No, you're unable to rethink your entrenched political beliefs - and blame others, because they don't work. You could raise taxes. You just don't *want* to. If you're unhappy with the results of your political decisions ... change them. Be a fucking adult.

@inspectah_duke @NewReaganCaucus Then why can Europe do it and you can't? You're just clinging to a political ideology that obviously produces bad results for you - but instead of rethinking that ideology, you go about blaming other countries for the political decisions you made.

@MichaWassmann @NewReaganCaucus On top of that I have to deal with your dumb ass telling me how to run my nation while I subsidize yours. That alone is enough for me to tell you to fuck off and defend yourself. You useless eaters thumped your noses one too many times.

@inspectah_duke @NewReaganCaucus You are an incredibly wealthy nation. You can just choose, politically, to invest some of that wealth into the welfare of your citizens. It's fine, if you don't WANT to. But don't blame others for your decisions and their consequences. Grow up. Take some responsibility.

@inspectah_duke @NewReaganCaucus But that's just not true. The difference in defence spending does not explain, why Europe can have a welfare state - and the US cannot. I explained this before. You have more GDP per capita *after* defence spending than we do *before* defence spending.

@inspectah_duke @NewReaganCaucus So what? Why can Europe do it - have 2% of its GDP spent on defence, some even more - and still invest some money in the welfare of its citizen; and you don't? Because you'd have to break with some stupid political beliefs, that obviously haven't been working out for you?

@MichaWassmann @NewReaganCaucus Top 10%

@inspectah_duke @NewReaganCaucus The US has a GDP per capita of around 90.000 $. Of those, 3 % go to the military, leaving you with 87k $ GDP per capita. Germany only has a GDP per Capita of 75k $ to begin with - and yet we can have a "nanny state". And you can't? You're lying to yourself.

@MichaWassmann @NewReaganCaucus Lol. Our status as an empire does exactly that. Nobody is afraid of a european nato bud.
