@elijahliststeve How many times is Trump going to play the NATO card? If the team leader threatens to undermine the alliance every time he gets frustrated, it is practically dead anyway. Just make up your mind! Are you in or are you out?

We have assisted Europe for many many decades and been there for them whenever they needed us. But suddenly they are not interested in helping us when WE have needs. Not even token help. So it's time to move out! They HAD a good thing going and never appreciated it. Just presumed on our financial and military help. . . . Time for us to leave them alone to fend for themselves! Wish it had a better conclusion.

🚨 LMAO! Residents near Ramstein Air Base in Germany that houses American troops are PANICKING — realizing that their Chancellor bad-mouthing and abandoning the U.S. was a HORRIBLE MOVE That’s what happens when Donald Trump is President 🔥 Our “allies” should learn to BE ALLIES or TOUGH LUCK! 🇺🇸

@SAMTHEMAN1976 @anders_aslund Criticizing Trump’s lack of strategy in the war with Iran doesn’t mean you support the Iranian terror regime or their nuclear ambitions.
English
You want Iran to have nuclear weapons and hold all the gulf nations hostage with terrorism is stupidity. Then again, I have to remember you want open borders and woke LGBTQ pedophile indoctrination schools with gender affirming care behind the parents backs and drag queen prostitute shows? You also want a de industrialized, open border net zero carbon tax communist “utopia” in America too. No wonder you want an Iran with nukes? Europe is getting there under EU policies, you should move the, they share your suicidal ideologies. China is a good place for you too.
English
Trump will go to history as the president who has caused the US the most harm.
Losing any sense of foreign policy strategy.
Alienating everybody but a few dictators.
Wasting US military resources on petty issues.
The big question: Is this treason or stupidity?
Mia 🇺🇸@MiaForTrump
In just over a year, Trump has made the US weaker, poorer, less respected, and dangerously overstretched. It will take decades to rebuild the standing he has completely destroyed. Raise your hand ✋ if you think Donald Trump is a disaster for America.
English
@HeerOost @anders_aslund I am old enough to remember Ronald Reagan—when the US was the leader of the free world and the president had a moral compass.
English
@SAMTHEMAN1976 @HeerOost @anders_aslund To undermine the stability of an ally is an act of aggression. What if the EU’s strategy were to support separatism in the US and secession of US states?
English
@BravoCastle7 @Hamiltonstears @nicksortor Churchill asked for US troops, but the US maintained strict neutrality. Germany’s declaration of war dragged the US into the European theatre. The UK and the Soviet Union bore a heavy burden—the tide had already turned in Europe when US troops arrived in significant numbers.
English
@Hamiltonstears @tarockuhu @nicksortor Dude by what you are saying you have literally absolutely no idea what the USA for Europe..We are in the western hemisphere!!! We sailed across the sea to help you!! A country that didn't even have to..We could have just stayed home..How do you not understand this?
English
🚨 JUST IN: President Trump says the US will be withdrawing "A LOT" more troops from Germany than the 5,000 announced yesterday
FINALLY.
Bring our troops home! We don't need NATO — NATO needs US!
"We're going to cut WAY down and we're cutting a lot further than 5,000" 🇺🇸
English
@cruadin You signed the Budapest Memorandum in 1994, which provided security assurances to Ukraine in exchange for its accession to the NPT as a non-nuclear state. No EU country is a signatory to that memorandum, yet EU is now providing most of the military aid to Ukraine.
English
We've poured enough U.S. taxpayer cash into that bottomless pit.
It's time for the Euros to take charge of their own neighborhood's mess.
Ian Jaeger@IanJaeger29
The United States defense budget proposal for 2027 will not include aid to Ukraine.
English
@BravoCastle7 @Hamiltonstears @nicksortor The US didn’t join WWII to defend Europe, but because they were attacked by Japan and Germany declared war.
English
@Hamiltonstears @nicksortor 1100? Hahahahahahahhahahahah try 250 THOUSAND Americans died for Europe in World War II..Pathetic
English
@DonaldPutine @BigData16 @EricLDaugh @DRIVETRUE8 The customer is always right. Maybe you should manufacture cars that are in demand in Europe. Or is Trump’s strategy to bully the EU until the Europeans buy cars they don’t want?
English
@BigData16 @EricLDaugh @DRIVETRUE8 New production American vehicles are the same if not better quality than German counterparts. The problem with our American vehicles in Germany is the cost of fuel is outrageous due to the corruption. As well as the narrow streets and extremely overbuilt cities.
English
🚨 JUST IN: In a massive FAFO moment, President Trump is SLAPPING 25% tariffs on the European Union's cars and trucks after they failed to abide by the trade deal
Trump is going HARDBALL on the EU!
"It is fully understood and agreed that, if they produce Cars and Trucks in U.S.A. Plants, there will be NO TARIFF. Many Automobile and Truck Plants are currently under construction, with over 100 Billion Dollars being invested, A RECORD in the History of Car and Truck Manufacturing."
"These Plants, staffed with American Workers, will be opening soon — There has never been anything like what is happening in America today! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"
English
@Kasparov63 The U.S. presence in Europe is dominated by air, naval, logistics, command & control, and support units. Trump has been playing the NATO card whenever he’s mad. A withdrawal will hurt the US as much as it hurts Europe. This bluff is becoming hollow. Are you in or are you out?
English
Note the underlying stupidity behind these threats. US bases and troops around the world are there for US global force projection, not to protect Spain or Italy or whatever he thinks. America’s enemies would love it if he picked up his toys and went home.
The Bulwark@BulwarkOnline
Q: "You talked about possibly pulling out some troops of Germany. Would you be considering the same thing for Spain and Italy?" Trump: "I probably will…Italy has not been of any help to us and Spain has been horrible."
English
@EricLDaugh Yes, you needed help. And, no, there is nothing in the NATO treaty that obliges members to support an illegal war. NATO is built on trust. We can’t have a team leader that lies and bullies team members every day. Are you in or are you out? Make up your mind!
English
🚨 DONALD TRUMP ERUPTS ON NATO
"We got no help, ZERO from NATO. You know, we spent TRILLIONS of dollars on NATO, we got no help. We didn't need it, but we got none!"
"I said, would you like to come here? You're fired."
"He said, fire him. Now, they know they got problems. No, it was a paper tiger!"
English
@GuntherEagleman → posture is as much to enable U.S. power projection into the Middle East and Africa as to defend Europe. A withdrawal would harm both Europe and the United States, and it would not reduce U.S. tax expenditures unless the withdrawn troops were actually decommissioned.
English
@GuntherEagleman The U.S. military presence in Europe consists mainly of air, naval, logistics, command‑and‑control, and support units, with ground combat brigades making up only a minority of total personnel. Most bases and infrastructure are funded by the host nations. The purpose of this →
English
President Trump is now considering withdrawing U.S. troops from Spain and Italy, on top of Germany.
“Why shouldn't I?”
“Italy hasn’t been any help… Spain has been HORRIBLE.”
“When we needed them, they were not there”
English
@WW3finalboss Europe is not ready for that kind of integration. The cultural and economic differences between north/south and west/east are still too big. However, it’s a good long-term goal for the EU.
English
Would you support a united federal Europe? 🇪🇺
Yes or No?
🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺
English
@priyaee The troops in Europe are part of the U.S. ability to project military power in other regions. It will be more expensive to move them elsewhere, where the U.S. would need to build and maintain its own bases. You will only save tax dollars if you decommission the European troops.
English
I’ve said it a million times and I’ll say it again—the U.S. needs to exit NATO, which has been nothing but a complete waste of our tax dollars and resources.
It’s time we stop playing daddy to the rest of the world.
English
@Somerandoz @iluminatibot Berlin & Paris aren’t realistic, but look at the geography of the Baltic Sea. If Russia were to take control of the Baltic states, it would gain better access to the Baltic Sea and could connect the Kaliningrad enclave. The risk in Europe is political adventurism that escalates.
English
@tarockuhu @iluminatibot I really think you overestimate the will of the Russian people, at most I could see a Central Asian or Caucasian SMO to secure a flank but an operation to Paris or Berlin or something is pretty unrealistic
English
Putin: “Russia is not going to attack Europe - it’s funny for us, it’s laughable”
“Crooks are telling their populations that Russia are going to attack & we have to strengthen our defence”
“Maybe they serve the military industrial complex or want to boost political ratings”
English
@Somerandoz @iluminatibot That should be true, but I’m afraid that Trump’s erratic behaviour and his criticism of NATO and its allies could encourage more adventurous behavior from the Kremlin.
English
@tarockuhu @iluminatibot Well sure Russia could go ahead if they really wanted but then NATO article 5 would trigger and that wouldn’t end very well for Russia
English
@Somerandoz @iluminatibot Exactly. And that’s why Russia’s claims that they won’t take aggressive actions against neighbours—for example the Baltic states with large Russian minorities—can’t be taken at face value.
English
@tarockuhu @iluminatibot That’s called basic war optics lol why would you tell someone you’re thinking about invading them. Also Russia wouldn’t have the means or popular support to pointlessly invade a country that has no ethnic Russian ties. And this isn’t even according for NATO protection anyways.
English
@Somerandoz @iluminatibot The formal impeachment process to remove a president requires 338 votes and a court ruling. Parliament didn’t use that mechanism. They concluded that the president had abandoned his office, and the decision was supported by many members of Yanukovych’s own party.
English
@tarockuhu @iluminatibot Then the Parliament removed Yanukovych with 328 votes bypassing the constitutional impeachment process (needed 338 + court review). Also the CIA is known for doing coups only behest of the US this is pretty obviously in the strategic interests as of the US lol.
English
@Somerandoz @iluminatibot The diplomats discussed which politicians were most competent—that’s normal diplomatic work. They expressed a preference, but they didn’t elect Ukraine’s government. The $5 billion refers to total U.S. support since 1991 and wasn’t specifically connected to Euromaidan.
English
@tarockuhu @iluminatibot “no CIA involvement ” let’s talk about the leaked Nuland-Pyatt call where they literally picked the next prime minister (“Yats is the guy”) and said “fuck the EU.” Yeah let’s also ignore how the US spent 5Billion+ on “democracy” programs there.
English
@Somerandoz @iluminatibot Moreover, Russia repeatedly denied any plans for the full-scale invasion in 2022, calling it absurd to think they would attack Ukraine. What would stop them from making aggressive moves against European neighbours under some other pretext?
English
@Somerandoz @iluminatibot You are repeating a Russian trope. Euromaidan was a popular protest triggered when Yanukovych backed away from an association agreement with the EU; the parliament then removed him from power. There is no evidence that the CIA planned or executed a coup.
