@AxTxO777 @clashreport Yeah they only needed 3 days for obliterate lowly Ukraines conventional means to fight back didn't they
English
@clashreport I think this Iran war clears out the long standing debates surrounding Russia and USA's military capacities, and Russia obviously is stronger than the USA. In a direct fight, it would not need more than 15 days for Russia to obliterate USA's all conventional means to fight back

@RTRSwipe @SilentWraith87 @Muntu87 @0hour1 Doubtful, His decision to open a new front against the USSR is what lost the war, it was only a matter of time.
The US just sped it up, but the end was already closing in.
English
@SilentWraith87 @Muntu87 @0hour1 Not quite true - the US didn't enter the European war until Hitler declared war on them. Had he not, and just concentrated on Russia, doubtless the UK would have sued for peace, knowing the US was never coming to help, but kept its empire.

We currently spend 3.4% of our GDP on defense. We are not walking the talk.
Clash Report@clashreport
Trump is considering a major change to how NATO works, proposing a “pay-to-play” system where countries that don’t spend 5% of their GDP on defence could lose their say in key decisions, including military action. Source: The Telegraph

@nexta_tv Has he missed the entire point? War has changed into low tech low cost mass produced drones
High tech, expensive systems sound great, but they're absolutely useless against low tech low cost weapons.

Rheinmetall CEO questions effectiveness of Ukrainian drones
Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger criticized Ukrainian drones, calling them “housewife work” and “like Lego.”
According to him, Ukraine has not delivered a technological breakthrough but is assembling drones from available components, including through 3D printing.
He argues that such developments will not change the global arms market and do not match the level of major defense companies and their technologies.
At the same time, Ukrainian commentators point out that modern warfare has changed the rules — cheap, disposable drones can effectively destroy expensive equipment and overwhelm air defense systems.
In their view, it is mass production and accessibility, not costly high-end technology, that now provide a tactical advantage on the battlefield.

@Gerashchenko_en See the thing is Drump, if Iran had attacked you, NATO would indeed of helped, you cannot start a war and expect a defensive alliance to join in.
You were attacked, and we stood side by side in Afghan, you were not directly attacked by Iran, absolute moron, danger to the world.
English
President Trump on Europe:
We're there to protect Europe from Russia. But they're not there to protect us.
English
@Maks_NAFO_FELLA Maybe the Secretary General should grow a back bone and explain to Trump that NATO is a defensive alliance.

🇺🇸🤔 Trump on NATO over Iran:
This was a test for NATO. It was a test of whether you would help us. You didn’t have to, but if you didn’t, we’re going to remember that.
Just remember this—a number of months from now. Remember my words. There’s an expression: “Never forget.”

@PressSec Overall 43% Support, 33% Oppose, seems like a pretty clean fracture to me.
English
As I’ve said repeatedly, Americans trust President Trump as their Commander-in-Chief and support his efforts to eliminate terrorist threats and keep us safe.
There is no “MAGA fracturing,” no matter how many times the media tries to claim otherwise.
Open Source Intel@Osint613
Karoline Leavitt on MAGA: I would remind people X is not real life. Trump lives in the real world. There is nothing more America First than taking out terrorists who have maimed and killed our servicemen and women.

@DNIGabbard "As our Commander in Chief, he is responsible for determining what is and is not an imminent threat"
I think that should be left to your intelligence agencies and not an 80 year old man that colours himself orange
English
Donald Trump was overwhelmingly elected by the American people to be our President and Commander in Chief. As our Commander in Chief, he is responsible for determining what is and is not an imminent threat, and whether or not to take action he deems necessary to protect the safety and security of our troops, the American people and our country.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence is responsible for helping coordinate and integrate all intelligence to provide the President and Commander in Chief with the best information available to inform his decisions.
After carefully reviewing all the information before him, President Trump concluded that the terrorist Islamist regime in Iran posed an imminent threat and he took action based on that conclusion.
English
@TrashDragon06 @michaeldweiss The US defended itself after being attacked, all this the US defends Europe is fucking nonsense, the US spends more in NATO so it can project power globally, it's for the benefit of itself.
English
Attacking allies as deadbeats, fake countries, U.S. colonies and/or threatening to invade them doesn't, in fact, make them want to rush into a kill box in the Gulf. Go figure.
Lindsey Graham@LindseyGrahamSC
Just spoke to @POTUS about our European allies’ unwillingness to provide assets to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning, which benefits Europe far more than America. I have never heard him so angry in my life. I share that anger given what’s at stake. The arrogance of our allies to suggest that Iran with a nuclear weapon is of little concern and that military action to stop the ayatollah from acquiring a nuclear bomb is our problem not theirs is beyond offensive. The European approach to containing the ayatollah’s nuclear ambitions have proven to be a miserable failure. The repercussions of providing little assistance to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning are going to be wide and deep for Europe and America. I consider myself very forward-leaning on supporting alliances, however at a time of real testing like this, it makes me second guess the value of these alliances. I am certain I am not the only senator who feels this way.

@aintyourfrend @michaeldweiss Poland pays for Starlink for Ukraine, they're a private company, it's nothing to do with Trump, it's not good for business when a politician can turn your product on and off on a whim.
It'll never happen.
English
@michaeldweiss With a single phone call, Trump can shut down Starlink in Ukraine, and the Europeans would come begging. They have no cards. I support Ukraine. It's a shame they'll have to suffer because of Europe. And when Putin steps into the Baltics, I'm sure the UK and France will defend it.
English
@ControlledPears @HLC_actual Do it, if the US doesn't want to be the worlds super power, then do it, drop all your power projection and watch China take your place.
The main benefactor of NATO, is the US, that's exactly why you plough so much more money into it.
English
@HLC_actual We need to pull out of NATO, the USA get's no benefit from it anymore we are the only Military of any significance left in NATO, except maybe Poland and Turkey. Let Europe defend Europe.
English
Maybe it’s because I’m American but I can’t understand these European countries. Yall have terror attacks and threats almost all of which come from Iran and when the US steps up to handle it the strait gets clogged and you don’t want to step in and help secure your national stability? Explain it to me. it’s just wild to see yall look at global stability and shipping as a spectator sport.
English
@HLC_actual We followed you into a war in the middle east on false pretences once before.
Threatening to take a country, repeatedly dismissing previous help and generally talking shit about your closest partners doesn't do much to build the appetite to help you.
No one respects Trump.

@Faytuks Be nice if he shut the fuck up moaning about it if he doesn't need it

Trump says he has been informed that most NATO allies don't want to get involved in military operations against Iran

@JohnQ27899645 @Acyn The man famously doesn't read his daily intelligence briefing, he knows nothing about anything and goes on whatever the last person said to him because he doesn't have the capacity to hold more than one thought.
English
Doocy: You said: they hit Qatar, Saudi Arabia UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait nobody expected that. We were shocked. Are you surprised that nobody briefed you ahead of time that that might be their retaliation?
Trump: Nobody. Nobody. No no no no. The greatest experts—nobody thought they were going hit…

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. President Trump just EVISCERATED American "allies" refusing to help the US secure the Strait of Hormuz, openly MOCKS them
"Do you have any minesweepers? 'Well, we'd rather NOT get involved, sir!' I said, you mean for 40 YEARS we're protecting YOU and you don't want to get involved in something that is very minor?!"
"Very few shots going to be taken because they don't have many shots left."
"But they said, 'we'd rather not get involved!'"
"We'll protect them! If ever needed, they WON'T BE THERE FOR US. I knew that for a long period of time!"

Trump:
The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom told me yesterday, “I’m meeting with my team to make a determination.”
I said, “You don’t need to meet with your team. You’re the Prime Minister — you can make the decision yourself. Why do you have to meet with your team to decide whether you’re going to send something? Minesweepers or some boats?”
