@ArthurLHerman Right now Trump is trying to make us vassals of America. Not gonna happen.

European nations face two choices.
Partners of the US; or vassals of China.
The notion that there is some path as "middle power" is a dangerous fantasy.

77 years ago NATO was born to defend the West against Soviet tyranny.77 years of American protection and they still won’t help against Iran. Fake alliance. Time to end the free ride.
English
@stengel Being nice, care for one another, create peace rather than spending money on war and aggression is far more valuable. He is on a wrong course.
English
Trump is requesting $1.5 trillion for defense. That is roughly what the entire rest of the world spends on defense. China: ~ $300b. Russia ~ $200b. Rest of NATO: $500b. It is more than the next 20 countries combined. No wonder we can't afford daycare, Medicare, food stamps, energy—that is, the stuff people need.

@Bamdadraha @FmrRepMTG Critical thinking is a rare commodity within the MAGA cult.
English
@FmrRepMTG Idiot. President Trump has done this for the security of the United States and the world. Look at Europe, radical Islamists. Think about it.
English
This was one of reasons many of us supported Donald Trump.
Where has this man gone?
Now he’s sending US troops into another Middle East war that will cost us trillions more and precious lives.
No wonder he turned his back on me for fighting him to release the Epstein files.
What would cause a man to change so much?
English
@FmrRepMTG His domestic policies didn’t go well. It’s a known strategy to find a common enemy outside the borders to try to take the fokus away. Valuable money you could have used for schools and healthcare is now going up in smoke in the Middle East.
English
Wake Up Folks-
France, UK, Spain and Italy are actually enemies of the USA.
English
Even if you did not support Trumps decision to launch of war of choice against Iran (like me), restricting the use of US airbases in NATO countries imprudently damages NATO unity. Yes, Trumps threats to invade/annex NATO countries does too. But 2 wrongs don’t make a right.

@Triode_in_situ @DhruvMishra1607 @visegrad24 Not to invest in defence was not because of the US, but because of the geopolitical situation.
English
@ThomasArnesen @DhruvMishra1607 @visegrad24 Europe did decide not to invest in their own defenses they instead chose to invest their GDP into their welfare state while relying on American tax payer money to pay for their defense.

Trump calls NATO:
“our severely weakened and extremely unreliable ‘partner’”
English
@SaltyGoat17 Can you tell med the steps on how you engage NATO? The legal one, please. And then tell how the US chose to do it. Thanks.
English
@Triode_in_situ @DhruvMishra1607 @visegrad24 I would not really call it «take advantage», when it has been a strategic foreign policy from the US for decades. The US pays 16% of the NATO budget. The congress, who the people vote for, approves it. Europe does not decide how much money you should use on your military.
English
@DhruvMishra1607 @visegrad24 Because Europeans have been taking advantage of America for decades. Relying on us to foot the bill for their defense.

TIME IS RUNNING OUT FOR IRAN: Trump just reminded the world that in TWO DAYS, "ALL HELL WILL REIGN DOWN" if the Strait of Hormuz isn't reopened.
"Glory to be GOD!"
English
@marklevinshow And Trump is destroying the US. A lot of destruction going on.
English
The leftist governments in Western Europe are destroying the NATO alliance much as they’re destroying their own countries.

@bennyjohnson Didn’t he say that a couple of weeks ago? Did he say it again?
English
President Trump warns Iran that they have 48 hours to open the Hormuz Strait or “All Hell will reign down on them”.
English
@FoxNews Déjà vu? I’ve heard this before, and the situation is still the same.
English
@Scottfu90305281 @GuntherEagleman Europe is funding right now, not the US. The minute Trump took office you stopped the funding. So what are you talking about?
English
@GuntherEagleman No more NATO. Stop funding the Ukrainian war immediately. Let Europe deal with Russia and let them fund the Ukrainian war.
English
@GuntherEagleman Time to leave the world alone. You have started enough meaningless wars.

@FierceLionPrv28 @P_Kallioniemi Vatnik Soup has a very valid point. America does this for world peace (as one of many reasons). So to involve the board of peace is a very good proposal. What else is the purpose of this board. Oh, that’s right. To increase his fortune.
English
@P_Kallioniemi mocking why Trump hasn’t tapped some “Board of Peace” for the Hormuz crisis misses the point entirely.
Trump leads with real strength: U.S. and Israeli forces have already destroyed thousands of Iranian missile sites, drone factories, radars, naval vessels, nuclear facilities, and bridges like Karaj. Iran’s threats are collapsing fast. America is winning and the propaganda is failing.
America First stays focused on removing invaders straining resources, crushing fraud robbing taxpayers, and securing elections with real ID and paper ballots so families and kids get the protected future they deserve. Super-majorities will keep us winning.
English
Why hasn't Trump asked the Board of Peace to help open the Strait of Hormuz?

🚨 ENOUGH IS ENOUGH — WHY IS AMERICA STILL DEFENDING EUROPE?
100,000 U.S. troops stationed across Europe.
$60 BILLION a year.
Decades of protection.
And when it matters most?
No support on Hormuz.
No access.
No alignment.
No backing.
So ask the question:
If America defends Europe…
Who defends America?
This isn’t an alliance.
It’s starting to look like a one-way street.
No more blank cheques.
No more free rides.
Time to bring them home.

🚨 FIVE EYES UNDER THREAT — TRUST IS FRACTURING The warnings are now out in the open. U.S. lawmakers are openly questioning intelligence sharing with European allies — including the UK. This isn’t just about NATO anymore. This hits the core of the Five Eyes — the most sensitive intelligence network on Earth. The concern? Trust. If allies are seen as: • Unreliable • Politically unstable • Reluctant to act Then intelligence sharing becomes a risk — not a strength. And right now, under Keir Starmer, the UK is being viewed in some circles as exactly that. This is how alliances break: Not with announcements…But with doubt. If Five Eyes fractures…The global intelligence balance shifts overnight.
