@visegrad24 And yet they remain the only Nato country that does not have any long range capabilities at all. Weird. And produce their own tanks or artillery. They only do it in licence. The development they tried failed.

🇵🇱 Poland's military is the third largest in NATO, with over 200,000 active personnel. Only the United States and Turkey have more troops. Poland has been rapidly expanding its army since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and is planning further expansion, with a target of 300,000 by 2035, according to government plans.

@Team687 @visegrad24 Apparently you don't know anything. Poland is basically the only country that does not have any capability for long range strikes. On top of that their equipment is alot worse then from other nations. They can't even produce stuff on their own, have to do it in licence. Pathetic

@visegrad24 They already are the strongest in Europe. The Germans and French, and English militaries are so under funded and under equipped that they couldn't even field half of the forces they technically have.

NATO is a leading grand strategic asset for the United States. Weakening the alliance or withdrawing from it would be a victory for Putin and a defeat for Americans.

@KulakMAGAMan @Brad_L_Bowman To be honest at first, I thought it was ridiculous for America to try to get Greenland but now after everything that’s happened with the war operation in Iran, I now see the point as to why America needs Greenland

@KulakMAGAMan @Brad_L_Bowman Yes, this is what I was noticing the first few days of the war. If nothing else, NATO proved Trump right about literally everything he was saying about Greenland. We can’t just “use our European bases whenever we need them” and they literally just proved that.

Bro... people have been sick of the EU for years. Years. I am a student of history and grew up during the height of the Cold War. The bond with Europe was strong and forged in blood and treasure. As Europe's sneering, condescending tone towards America and Americans has grown worse over the last couple of decades, more and more people are questioning why we sacrificed so much in protecting you guys. And that sacrifice has been an absolutely massive amount of blood, time, and treasure. We never really even asked for a thank you from Europe , just wanted to be able to visit and enjoy your culture, art, and wine. But, as your governments become more and more anti-America and your nations self-immolate under truly lunatic laws and islamic hordes, we don't really identify with you any more. That bond has been forgotten by your governments and, by any modern measure, your people as well. The history of that relationship is now openly ridiculed, and most of NATO openly spits in our faces while wiping its collective ass with the American flag. THAT is why we''ve had enough. It really, genuinely doesn't have anything to do with "nationalism", Trump or MAGA or any of that; the America First slogan was just the moniker under which a decades-long sentiment coalesced. We are ready for Europe to take care of itself.

I thought for a long time about whether I should say anything, but it is time to appeal to reason and truth. We are friends. And on this app, misinformation gets pushed in waves. MAGA hears a line from the top dictator, repeats it, and suddenly ignorance gets dressed up as analysis. The fact is that the tweet below is right in a major way. Europe has not been freeloading off the United States. Europe and Canada spent a combined $486 billion on defence in 2024 alone. European NATO states now buy a huge share of their major weapons from the U.S. In 2020 to 2024, 64% of their major arms imports came from the United States. For the 2021 to 2025 period, Europe accounted for 38% of total U.S. arms exports, the largest regional share. NATO allies also represented around $20 billion in U.S. foreign military sales in fiscal 2022 and $24 billion in fiscal 2023. That is not charity from Washington, oh boy no. That is a revenue stream for Washington. The U.S. presence in Europe is not some selfless protective act. It is also about projection, logistics, reach, and cost savings. In early 2025, the U.S. had nearly 84,000 servicemembers in Europe, and NATO common funding continues to pay for infrastructure upgrades at bases used by U.S. forces there. NATO has even committed $385 million for upgrades tied to AND FOR U.S. special weapons storage and related facilities in Europe. Those bases put American forces closer to the regions where Washington wants to operate, and they reduce the strategic cost of doing so. And the most important point is this: if the U.S. loses Europe as a customer, staging ground, and political-military platform, it loses tens of billions of dollars in arms business, plus strategic positioning it has benefited from for decades. The only time NATO Article 5 has ever been invoked was after the 11 September attacks on the United States. So the myth that America endlessly subsidises everyone else while getting nothing back is propaganda. In reality, Europe has been helping finance the system, buying the weapons, hosting the bases, and sustaining the architecture from which the U.S. itself profits. I still believe a united Western world is worth striving for. I am not falling for the division pushed by this cult, and neither should you. Trumpism will hopefully not be around for long. What is important to note, though, is that Europe has at most benefited from NATO indirectly, while the United States has benefited directly over and over again. So do not let MAGA propaganda lull you into believing otherwise. Peace.

@ClearReason @visegrad24 Ofc. Iam not against Israel or anything. But Israel keeps taking more and more land and breach the un treaty. You can't just claim they take land for security measures. Evey conflict they keep parts of land and even beyond that settle people in part they are not supposed to be.

Europeans who have been real silent on Israeli civilians being targeted for 2.5 years want to cry like the Eurotrash they are because of security measures during a war in which ballistic missiles are being shot at the very area where that church is. Ok. Gather. Get no special protection. No military stationed as guards. No extra air defenses dedicated. Whatever happens don’t cry later. So sick of Europe. Enjoy your centuries in the caliphate.

Poland’s new conservative president Karol Nawrocki speaking clearly about what Russia really is at @CPAC in Dallas: “In Europe today, we face an aggressive Russia. A regime that invades its neighbors, a regime that destroys cities, a regime that believes power gives it the right to dominate others. The same regime is trying to tell the world: 'We are the defenders of traditional values.' That is a lie. Russia is not defending conservatism. Russia represents corruption and violence."
