@davidnayan @EvolutiaR Read again what was said. US enjoys being the top ace because Europe is willing to invest. 5-10 billion spent by the US for its European arm is pennies compared to the overall benefits that the US gets from having Europe as a major ally. You just lack common sense and use AIslop

The US spends $5-10 billion a year on its military presence in Germany vs approximately $500 million spent by the German government. In the past, when the German government has looked at the economic impact of these bases on the German government, it turns out that the German government makes more than it spends. In fact, every time the idea of closing these bases has come up, this is mentioned as a reason to keep them here. That and its support in defense, of course. So it turns out to be a good investment for Germany on both fronts.

100,000 American troops in Europe = a free ride for Europeans? Let's check the facts. 🔹 American military bases are not free Germany, Italy, Spain, and Romania pay for the infrastructure, land, utilities, and civilian personnel of US bases. Germany alone contributes over $1 billion annually to support the American military presence on its soil. 🔹 Europe is the largest customer of the American defense industry F-35s, Patriot missiles, HIMARS, Apaches — all purchased by Europeans with real money. Every security alarm in Europe translates into contracts for Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Boeing. 🔹 American bases in Europe don't only protect Europe Ramstein in Germany coordinates operations across Africa and the Middle East. Sigonella in Italy covers the Mediterranean and North Africa. Romania secures the eastern flank and the Black Sea. These are global American strategic assets — not neighborhood security for Europeans. 🔹 Command is American, not European NATO is always led by an American Supreme Commander (SACEUR). Europe contributes troops, bases, and money — but America holds the controls. Those who control the structure are not the ones getting a free ride. 🔹 The nuclear umbrella is not altruism American nuclear deterrence in Europe keeps the dollar as the world's reserve currency, keeps European markets open to US corporations, and legitimizes American hegemony against Russia and China. But what would actually happen if America withdrew its troops from Europe? 🔹 For America — immediate strategic losses Without bases in Europe, American response time to any crisis in Europe, Africa, or the Middle East grows from hours to days. Ramstein, Sigonella, and Incirlik cannot be replaced by aircraft carriers. Infrastructure built over decades disappears overnight. 🔹 The American defense industry loses its biggest customer A Europe without the US umbrella will build its own defense industry — and fast. Airbus Military, KNDS, Leonardo, and Rheinmetall will take the contracts that Lockheed and Raytheon currently win. Billions of dollars shift from America to Europe. 🔹 The dollar weakens Dollar hegemony is partly sustained by American global military credibility. A withdrawal from Europe signals to the world that America no longer guarantees the postwar order. Alternatives — the euro, the yuan — become more attractive as global reserve options. 🔹 Russia wins without firing a single shot Not necessarily through immediate invasion — but through political influence, energy pressure, and the gradual destabilization of countries on the eastern frontier. The Baltic states, Poland, and Romania enter a security grey zone that no one can guarantee quickly. 🔹 China watches and draws conclusions about Taiwan A precedent of withdrawal from Europe sends a direct signal to Beijing: American commitments are negotiable. The cost of deterrence in the Pacific rises exponentially. Withdrawal is not isolationism. It is strategic abdication. America would not be leaving Europe because it no longer has interests there. It would be leaving while ignoring that those very interests are what make it a superpower. The "free ride" narrative doesn't describe Europe. It describes exactly what America has in Europe.

@Dimitri60416724 @Sheep_Esports You must be fun

@Sheep_Esports I agree with what you saying but you use the word technically. So technically Witchcraft was never invited to LEC Versus. You talking about the “spot”invite but on your post using the ward “team”. So your post it’s about team or spot ? See the difference?

Both #LEC Versus invitees have now been eliminated from EMEA Masters 2026 Winter: ❌ Witchcraft 🇬🇧 (1-2 vs G2N 🇩🇪) ❌ Karmine Corp Blue 🇫🇷 (0-2 vs MISA 🇹🇷)

@MartinsJukss @Maks_NAFO_FELLA Some people are just schmucks and want to see some gratitude or apology

@Maks_NAFO_FELLA Lol no need to apologize. Why apologize?

🇺🇦🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹 Ukraine is officially apologizing to the residents of the Baltic states for incidents last week when Ukrainian drones flew into the territories of the three countries. In some cases, the deviations from course were caused by Russian electronic warfare, — Delfi.

@TheDarkFacts @markomihkelson Which one? Trump?

@markomihkelson At least he is not a pedophile like you are. And he is one of the few leaders that Trump has not insulted.

Helping an ally. The Belarusian dictator is not some “highly respected" leader, but a war criminal who assists Russia in its aggression and uses his own citizens as hostages to preserve his terrorist regime.

@_manuvers @NedHarris19 @nexta_tv Still, AI.

@k6uts123 @NedHarris19 @nexta_tv Sorry if you were never able to complete school and get an ability to string together a simple sentence in English

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.

@justic29480 @JPLindsley Otsi kodu omale, rott

@JPLindsley BRO SHUT THE F WITH YOUR PROPAGANDA SHIT. ESTONIA is right now controlled by a MAFIA with E-voting they ensure that nobody else gets into power who the DEEP STATE who is loyal to the UK and EU doesnt want. They simply manipulate the votes.

Estonia represents what a jealous, rootless Russia is not—and cannot have in its current form: peaceful freedom. That serenity of being free is reflected in the music of Estonia's great composer Arvo Pärt. From the Singing Revolution against the Soviets to their military support for Ukraine today, Estonians are a fortress for liberty.

@_manuvers @NedHarris19 @nexta_tv U speak like AI

The Russians have made a ton of tactical errors and their willingness to absorb avoidable losses is frankly bewildering. But the only credible military strategist on Ukraine's side was Zaluzhnyi. Syrskyi, Budanov and even Zelensky are more engaged in a pantomime for the entertainment of their sponsors.

@Maks_NAFO_FELLA In short they know they can't compete

🇺🇦🇩🇪🤔 When I brought up the drones that Ukraine has used so effectively against Russian tanks, the company’s chairman and CEO, Armin Papperger, was withering in his dismissal. “This is how to play with Legos,” he told me, - The Atlantic He did not expect them to disrupt his industry. “What is the innovation of Ukraine?” Papperger asked. “They don’t have some technological breakthrough. They make innovations with their small drones, and they say, ‘Wow!’ And that’s great. Whatever. But this is not the technology of Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, or Rheinmetall.”

@Microinteracti1 Stupid talk. Europe has sent billions to Ukraine. It's basically given that Ukrainian assistance is a phonecall away. Not saying it would be free, but what I mean is that Ukraine wouldn't have an issue helping Europe. You're just hyping up the deal and slandering Europe.

Zelensky isn’t angry. He is patient in a way that makes it worse. He is saying that Ukraine is now turning to the Middle East and the Gulf for what Europe has failed to deliver. Ballistic defense. Financing. The things Europe has had four years to coordinate and still cannot because Hungary sits in the room and nobody has figured out how to remove a hostile state from an alliance it is actively sabotaging. Four years. That is how long the EU has been pissed on by Orban and responded by scheduling another meeting. And now Zelensky is cutting deals with Gulf states based on shared drone warfare expertise. Ukraine teaches them how to survive modern aerial attack. They help fund Ukraine’s defense. A clean bilateral arrangement that bypasses the entire European bureaucratic apparatus completely. If that deal gets done, it is the single most embarrassing indictment of EU foreign policy in the institution’s history. Not because Ukraine found partners elsewhere. Because it had to. Europe built a system so paralyzed by its own consensus rules that a single pro-Kremlin government in Budapest can hold 400 million people hostage for four years while a democracy bleeds out on the continent’s eastern border. The question is whether Europe is even embarrassed enough to notice. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@Reverse_XPress @Tsahkna In Estonian media they told it wqs Ukrainan. Happy?

@Tsahkna Whose drone it was?

Tonight a drone struck the chimney of the Auvere power plant in Estonia. There are no substantial damages or injuries, and no impact on Estonia’s electricity system. The drone was not directed at Estonia. This is a concrete consequence of Russia’s full-scale war of aggression. Drone incidents have occurred across Europe — including in Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, Lithuania, and most recently in Latvia last night. We are strengthening our capabilities to respond to such incidents. The pressure on the aggressor must continue.

@KhaterDiana 🤗

Dear Estonians and Latvians, we are really sorry if our drones that were targeting russian ports reached you. It was never our intention to cause any harm to you. You are one of the mosts supportive people in this world we would never do such a thing to intentionally.

@YuriiLupul @elektrikala_ee @IlvesToomas Ukrainan or Russian*** Basically people that just popped up on social media after 2022 Anyways all in all it is fine. Looking forward to cooperating with Ukrainians about drones (hopefully) during upcoming military drills in Estonia.

@YuriiLupul @elektrikala_ee @IlvesToomas Igor is the "Now suddenly Ukrainian/Russian after 2022"

So why do we bother if we're going to invaded immediately by Russia as Ukraine twitter keeps telling me? Why not spend the money and effort at home?

@YuriiLupul @IlvesToomas He is a ranty old man who just looks at the bigger picture. Overall it is random that there is a coordinated push to wake up the Estonians like we haven't woken up already 😅 Estonia has poured a lot of money into Easterm Estonia (construction, benefits). It'll be fine.

@k6uts123 @IlvesToomas Dude, I'm not trying to scare anyone. I'm sure you understand the situation. But Mr. Toomas's tweet is written in an angry tone, as if these risks didn't exist and the Ukrainians had really pissed him off for that reason.

@YuriiLupul @OlaviL2001 @IlvesToomas The Estonians know about the threat from Russia. It is not a new concept for us. Which is why we have conscription and reserve forces. Only thing lacking is the general preparedness against drones but that is everywhere among NATO allies.

@OlaviL2001 @IlvesToomas I’m certainly not telling anybody to panic. But he seems to be completely dismissing that possibility, lashing out at Ukrainians who are simply trying to warn. I’d also like to add that we are infinitely grateful for the help.

@YuriiLupul @IlvesToomas Are You silly? I'd say no shit sherlock that the Estonians know the about the threat of Russia. Perhaps indeed we should have invested in our own defense rather than help Ukrainian refugees or send military aid to Ukraine? It is obvious illogical fearmongering lately

@IlvesToomas It seems like you’re losing your mind from time to time. Toomas, do you think Ukrainians want you to go through something similar? Or don’t you realize that such a scenario is very likely?

@DumbsYT @William83775296 @rattecs 99% sure ropz uses same scheme in Estonia. Minimum salary and maximum dividends.

@William83775296 @rattecs ah okay so there's just a diff taxation there man we got some dog ass tax laws lol (verohallinto this is a joke)

TLDR: Ran €598k of his personal CS prize money + salary through his own company to pay less tax. Tax office: “Nah bro, we consider that personal income.” > Charged with aggravated tax fraud > Owes 200-300k+ in back taxes Court in April 2026.

@DefenseAnalyses No it isn't, lmao.

On the backdrop of German economic history, this kind of display of industrial capacity functions basically as humiliation ritual

@DrewPavlou @SpaghettiKozak Derailing the topic xD

Iryna Zarutska was ruthlessly killed because American criminal justice policy is completely broken - her murderer had committed almost a dozen heinous violent crimes yet they were allowed to walk free on the street When leftists are honest they admit they don’t care about crime, they regard it as something that just “happens in the world” like the “weather”

Pure friend enemy distinction on display. Democrats decided that the bereaved mother of a murdered Ukrainian refugee was their political enemy purely because Trump condemned the murder. Nothing matters to them other than destroying their political enemies. Weimar moment.

@AnnaManeag62477 @LePapillonBlu2 You stupid?

@LePapillonBlu2 Those Democrats sure do love those childcare and early childhood ed programs. They are the fraud gift that keeps on giving for them. Hard to track, hard to see. Out of the normal ed channels. They are intent on having learing centers on every block. Money,money ,money.

I’m loving this ad that Mayor Mamdani and AOC shared in Spanish about free childcare for the residents of New York.
