European allies are skeptical Trump will actually pull the US out of NATO. But they still fear the president’s renewed threats to do so are eroding the military alliance at a precarious moment. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
English
It is not only an embarrassment when the President begs for help, and our allies say no—it is a national security threat.
Trump’s go-it-alone approach to diplomacy has alienated many of the United States’ allies, and those costs are becoming clear.

@ianrich15813274 🤣look around at what you are dealing with in the UK and Europe, you haven't got a chance.
English
Trump says he's considering leaving NATO. Good, decent democratic nations don't need authoritarian partners. We'll be fine without Uncle Donald.
English
@SenSchumer @SecRubio He will quiet quit and there is nothing you can do about it.
English
I can promise this: The Senate will not vote to leave NATO and abandon our allies just because Trump is upset they wouldn’t go along with his reckless war of choice.
Thank you to @SecRubio for sponsoring the bill in 2023 requiring a two thirds vote of the Senate to make sure clueless presidents couldn’t act on a whim.
Senator Marco Rubio: Archived@SenMarcoRubio
No U.S. President should be able to withdraw from NATO without Senate approval. Thankful my colleagues in Congress passed this bipartisan measure.
English
@TomHoefling This is true, but they haven't yet invaded the Baltics and closed the Suwałki Gap, and they will if pushed. In case you haven't noticed many of the losers in European NATO will talk a good fight and do nothing about it.
English
@Dave_PSRAM Russia is already at war with Europe. Stop playing pretend.
English
If Trump (illegally) takes the U.S. out of NATO, NATO should offer full membership to Ukraine five minutes later.
I mean, Ukraine is, in every practical sense, the bulwark of Europe against the war criminals and barbarians in the Kremlin.
English
@SariArhoHavren You are relying on the UK, the rest are solid, but the UK !
English
The Nordics, Baltics, the United Kingdom, potentially the Netherlands and Canada should create a new North Atlantic Security, Defence and Economic organisation.
This time and age show whose values and perceptions of the world best align.
English
This Labour Government is the most working-class government in the history of the UK.
English
After Trump wins big in Iran war, Europeans will be even more eager to please @realDonaldTrump and make the collective security commitments necessary as well as other reforms needed for a more secure, prosperous, and peaceful Europe.

@10DowningStreet @Keir_Starmer IF you truly want to act for the NATIONAL INTEREST, and you have ANY DECENT bone left in your body, you would RESIGN IMMEDIATELY and CALL FOR A GENERAL ELECTION!... BUt you wont...

@ethanmwolf The US has been failed by European NATO, and I'm saying that as a European. Not all the countries but the most important ones. Time for some bilateral agreements with new conditions.
English
Donald Trump's decision to say the U.S. will reconsider its NATO membership should concern all Americans. NATO is the strongest alliance in world history and represents a key bulwark against an increasingly aggressive Russia and China. Now is the time to strengthen NATO.
English
@TheBlackLancer @SirSimonClarke Come on. The indigenous British people are complacent, lazy, comfortable and hedonistic they aren't going to do anything. If you haven't realised it yet you are ruled by what the muslim block vote wants and they have no interest in BREXIT.
English
@SirSimonClarke Prepare for civil unrest if he does. It'll make the Poll Tax riots look like a minor scuffle.
English
Shamelessly using war in the Gulf to effectively reverse Brexit - just as he always intended. Not even hiding it anymore.

🚨 BREAKING: Keir Starmer says he will form a new partnership with the EU in the coming weeks "As the world continues down this volatile path, our long-term national interest requires closer partnership with our allies in Europe and with the European Union"
English
Keir Starmer responds to Trump saying the U.S. won’t come to the aid of the UK in future.
“There’s been a good deal of pressure on me…and I’m not going to change my position…I’m the British Prime Minister and I have to act in our national interests.”
English
@GrahamAllen Russia is an enemy of the US, I can understand no money for the rest of Europe, but not Ukraine. Trump has a personal vendetta against Zelenskyy because of his impeachment, don't let that cloud your judgement.
English
Not a single American dollar should go to NATO or Ukraine again…
English
@gail_gail9dd @grantshapps In all but name, as he cannot do that it. He is quiet quitting.
English
The genius of NATO is that it quietly did the impossible: it helped end the Cold War, anchored Europe’s peace, & still stands as the West’s strongest insurance policy. The UK has an historic chance to lead NATO Europe & prove it remains our security cornerstone. We must not fail.
English
@grantshapps The UK under Labour is not worthy ally of anyone. You have already failed, the UK is now in the grip of the muslim block vote and the fight for that vote. The muslim block vote is more welfare spending, not more defense spending. The game is up, you failed,
English
Mention one thing the EU is better at than the US and China.

United we stand, divided we fall. For a united and strong Europe. 🇪🇺

@EdwardJDavey You are a waste of space and typify everything that is wrong with Britain and the indigenous British people.
English
Trump wants to rip up NATO because we refuse to be dragged into his illegal war.
Threats to NATO today become threats to Trident tomorrow. We can't rely on Trump for our national security.
Britain needs a truly independent nuclear deterrent, committed to NATO's defence.
English
@HayekAndKeynes The UK, Spain ... won't spend more. In many cases pacifying a large and growth Muslim population means they have other agendas i.e. entitlements AKA the welfare state.
English
This conflict will result in a stronger allied military. The US will no longer be the policeman of the world. The citizens never wanted that role. Europe will spend much more as will our allies in Asia.
The Long View@HayekAndKeynes
Forget the whole multipolar galaxy brain 💩 It all comes down to this: Europe needs to hurry up and decide if they are going to stand side by side with America or get on their knees for China… Without Europe America can’t still be Superman and there is no credible backing for SE Asian countries who want to resist China. If the west splits, they will all fall in line for Beijing. Europe can remain self absorbed with losing in Ukraine if they want, but the rest of the world (including Africa and the Middle East) is watching and waiting.
