@Felix_Nuno I do not want to have reality prove you wrong, but I do think some european states would go to war for that.

We are all cowards is a hell of an argument. Desperate vassal argument.
Ulrich Speck@ulrichspeck
The argument "Europe just needs time to build its own defence and then can take over from the US" is technocratic. From an investment by European states in their armed forces does not follow their willingness to wage war against Russia if it attacks a European country.

@defense_civil25 Well, our president is showing that if he cannot move tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, he can move THOUSANDS of troops from an obstroperous country, and this without a single casualty!!!!
English
🚨Update: President Trump states that the US may withdraw ALL troops out of Germany and we will ‘bring them home,’ not just move them to another nation in Europe!!

@FalkTG To argue about who is and/or who should be Europe's leader is divisive and a little bit short-sighted.
English
That’s the reason why Merz is the leader of Europe and not Macron.
Because Merz is the adult while Macrons policies are short sighted.
Europe without the U.S. would be a catastrophe. Let’s face it.

Germany's Chancellor Merz on U.S. troop withdrawal: It may be a bit exaggerated, but it’s nothing new. The Americans remain our most important partners in the North Atlantic alliance. I will not give up on cooperation with Donald Trump. If you want us to help in such a conflict, then call us beforehand. Source: Welt

@andrewmichta I also find it odd that people have piled on this issue to criticize EU management (which can be criticized). You are clearly not a bot, but there are...

Yep. I’m in Europe alright…😎. What EU Commission genius thought of this?
English
@HeidiBachram Artists believe in the magical powers of art, just as intellectuals believe in the magical power of (their) speech. Both are somewhat ridiculous, usually.
English
Flotilla members are dancing like sexy terrorists and making the Hamas triangle symbol to try and free their leaders. I don’t think this is helping.

@Porkchop_EXP the food would be even worse than it is now ;-)

If Germany was populated by the Dutch it would be an economic giant that would dwarf even the United States.
What we have instead is a country with massive resources but a shrinking economy and a GDP per capita below Austria and Belgium.

@DaveyProckett @PhilippeCHBuc @andrewmichta It's not about the nature. It's about the recycling container. If the cap is not in the bottle in the recycling plant is lost because it's too small and ends in general waste facilities so it can't be recycled.

@SariArhoHavren This is not about civilization; it is power-politics in the guise of a cultural mission. And indeed the relationship between Rome and the Hellenistic world may be a guide...
English
Never in history has an external, militarily superior, but culturally inferior power been able to impose its “culture” on others.

U.S. Undersecretary of State Sarah Rogers has positioned herself as the point person for Donald Trump’s campaign to save Europe from what the White House calls “civilizational erasure.” She is just getting started. 🔗 politico.eu/article/donald…

@keeksfromTX @MarvinTBaumann we know who is fucked, there is a famous island for that.
English
@MarvinTBaumann We lost trust in Europeans when they let illegal Muslims take over their countries. Y’all are seriously fucked, and I think you know that. This is a sad attempt to gaslight yourself.
English
Americans don't understand that we did not lose trust in Trump. We never trusted him.
We lost trust in the American people not to elect people like Trump & lost trust in US institutions to reign a president like Trump in if he hurt US allies.
Both people + institutions failed.
Justin Stapley@JustinWStapley
NATO is so important that it would be hoped Europe understands the current president is term limited...

@andrewmichta @PhilippeCHBuc Good to have a professor of strategic studies weighing in on design solutions (that have been mocked for a few years). Well done. Keep it up.
English
@andrewmichta You believe that humans do the right thing when it comes to trash? Propose an alternative.
English
@PhilippeCHBuc As opposed to relying on people to simply put the cap back on? I have seen many people here who just tear it off. I grant you there is a problem with plastic trash everywhere, but this is not the solution.
English
@heterodoxan The regime, awful as it is, has no reason to see Europe as a fundamental enemy. European nations did after all negociate along with Obama the deal that Trump threw out of the window.
English
It's actually absurd how many Europeans fail to grasp that denying us the use of those bases for operations in Iran, which is a more immediate threat to Europe than to us, made even a lot of US fans of NATO wonder what we're doing in Europe anymore.
Andrea Junker@Strandjunker
US troops are not in Germany to protect Germany. They’re there because the US needs bases to conduct operations beyond the North American continent. If Trump withdraws them, he will harm the United States, not Germany. It’s absurd how many Americans fail to grasp this.

"Comme Jeanne d'Arc, rallumons une flamme"
Sérieusement Bardella a osé 😂 C'est vrai que Jeanne a CARREMENT allumé une flamme qui a refusé de s'éteindre 🔥. Elle aurait même dit à ce moment-là : "vous ne m'avez pas crue, vous m'avez cuite !"

The Turnberry agreements 🇺🇸🇪🇺 were supposed to bring stability to Europe — in exchange for trade and energy submission.
By unilaterally raising tariffs on automobiles by 25%, Donald Trump is demonstrating that the EU signed up for submission AND humiliation.
Let us salute the courage of Sabine Weyand, Director General for Trade, who had refused to give a thumbs up to this agreement of dishonour.
The end of her mandate was announced this week.

Cuba: Trump concernant Cuba:
*Nous allons prendre le contrôle de Cuba sans perdre de temps. Nous allons en prendre le contrôle presque immédiatement. Sur le chemin du retour depuis l’Iran, nous pourrions faire entrer l’USS Lincoln au large, et ils finiront par se rendre."

@MiaForTrump No need to call Melania that; I do not like the Trump brood, but this is a little low.

Ondertussen vecht @ericvanderburg voor de ononderbroken Amerikaanse toegang tot onze data.
DigID en FISA zijn een levensgevaarlijke combinatie, en de Eric is de Palantir-tool die ze samen brengt.
Arnaud Bertrand@RnaudBertrand
The big deal about FISA section 702 isn't domestic surveillance of Americans, that's actually an incidental byproduct of the real program. The much bigger deal is that it allows the mass warrantless surveillance by the NSA of every non-American on earth, i.e. all of us... "Americans' data" only gets captured as a consequence of this mass surveillance of all of us, when we communicate with Americans. Pretty sad that this is what's seen as most scandalous: you'd think that spying on literally the entire world would be a bigger deal especially when, unlike Americans, we have no constitutional protections and no legal recourse...
