@johnkonrad @hawksy_1 Which shows your absolute lack of understanding of why these bases exist. The basis that remain after the Cold War draw down our key to American security and strategy worldwide. They have more to do with projecting US power outside of Europe than they do with protecting her

@hawksy_1 YES. I would be thrilled with that.

It’s not just that NATO refused nearly all our requests. We can’t afford to protect Europe AND… The world’s largest Arctic coastline 2nd-largest country on Earth The longest border with a close China ally The longest sub and missile approaches The GIUK Gap Because Canada’s military is pathetic and they are acting like children. It’s just too much for us to do both. Not to mention growing commitments in the Pacific that Canada refuses to help with. Are we going to protect Canada or Europe? That’s the question. My children live in North America so ignoring Canada’s submarine and missile approaches just isn’t an option for me.

@elonmusk And probably the best way to identify a loser, just look in the driver seat

Cybertruck is quicker than a Porsche 911, more powerful than a Ford Raptor

@0hour1 You may want to read about Pearl Harbor. 😆

Iran just pulled a Pearl Harbor during peace talks. They are fucked.

@dmbkparker Data is completely false. Most countries do not have a draft ~25–30% of countries have active conscription •~70–75% of countries rely on volunteer / professional militaries 👉 Out of ~195 countries: •≈ 50–60 countries use conscription

Here is what differentiates the US Military positively from the majority of the world in my opinion. The lack of mandatory service. Some would argue there’s a societal impact, but I think a willing Soldier is a much more powerful asset than a made to Soldier.

@say_so51856 @witter_dude Despite problems with this British carriers, Europe past three full-size carriers, including a very well equipped French nuclear carrier The Italians also have two small carriers We do not need to project force to defend our ourselves.

@witter_dude You are talking rubbish. War in 2026 is logistics and technology. You don't have any stealth planes or huge carrier force or enough payload capabilities. You certainly don't have any experience. And no nukes. Trump gave you all every chance. But you are just narrow minded women.

To all these bad faith Americans and evil Russian trolls and bots claiming Europe cannot defend itself: Only Sweden, Norway and Finland (Arctic region) being some of the smallest nations in Europe can mobilize 1,2 million people fully equipped, active and reservist, in case of war. Also 450 military aircrafts and around 600 naval vessels including 10 submarines. Now add UK, Germany, Denmark, France and the rest of Europe to that for the full picture. Just stop parroting Europe is defenseless. Even Ukraine alone can hold Russia at bay. But US will give us supreme firepower and boost command & control, and another reason not to invade us.

@say_so51856 @witter_dude France and the UK have nukes. In fact France has incredibly efficient and modern nukes. The rest of your statement is so stupid. I’m not even going to get into it.

@Mirel2022 @Denys_Shmyhal Not everyone live in Romania.

@Denys_Shmyhal It means someone pays him well if he does this every day!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Robert, an American, stands on Capitol Hill holding a Ukrainian flag and a sign in support of Ukraine. He has been doing this almost every day since the start of russia’s full-scale invasion. I had the opportunity to speak with Robert and thank him for his principled stance. He is not alone. In Washington, support for Ukraine and Ukrainians is felt everywhere. We are grateful to everyone who, through their actions, continues to remind the world of russia’s brutal war against Ukraine and what Ukrainians are enduring. _____ Американець Роберт стоїть з українським прапором на Капітолійському пагорбі й тримає плакат на підтримку України. Він робить це майже щодня від початку повномасштабного вторгнення росії. Мав нагоду поспілкуватися з Робертом й подякувати йому за свідому позицію. Роберт такий не один. У Вашингтоні підтримка українців відчувається всюди. Дякуємо кожному, хто своїми вчинками продовжує нагадувати про жорстоку війну росії проти України й про те, через що доводиться проходити українцям.

@Cappyarmy @_haye_ Chris, I would expect better than you. So Vietnam was not a hostile environment when we entered the first time compared to Iran.

@_haye_ They can be the first step to 500,000 troops. We didn’t start with 500k in Vietnam , we built up to it. It should be a worrying sign .

What can 10 thousand US troops do in Iran, exactly? They’re gonna go home in bodybags.

@WinningFactory @jbaratka8 @joni_askola And you work for the Pentagon? Or you some schmuck who sometimes looks online. 😛

@jbaratka8 @MKitchellAR @joni_askola Yeah I saw ONE video, over IRAQ :D

I didn’t expect much from Iran’s air defense, but their failure in this war has been abysmal. Over 15k combat sorties, and they still haven’t downed a single American or Israeli jet

@1787Centinel @KurtSchlichter Liar

@KurtSchlichter Chow hall guards.

What combat power can/will NATO add to us today? Be specific. Ship types and names that are deployable within a week. Name them. You freaking clown. You complete an utter goof.

@dissidentwookie @KurtSchlichter Liar

@KurtSchlichter Add to that, Europeans just used the Afghan war as an all expense paid training opportunity Many just stayed on the bases

@WinningFactory @joni_askola There’s evidence of hundreds of airplanes flying over Iran.

@joni_askola Newsflash: Tomahawks are hard to shoot down by anyone. US jets never or almost never fly over Iran mainland. If you don't get how information warfare works and can't be neutral or objective, then sit down, and zip it.

@Retiredturd @SecRubio

@SecRubio Corrupt Ukraine gets nothing!! And yes they need to payback all of our tax dollars along with Zelensky being arrested

Today at the G7 I reiterated that President Trump is committed to reaching a ceasefire and negotiated settlement to the Russia-Ukraine war as soon as possible.

To commemorate my father’s 95th birthday, I want to remind Spock fans that dad’s parents were Ukrainian immigrants which shaped my father in many ways. Four years of Putin’s war has brought death and destruction to our people, our homeland. LLAP. #standwithukraine #ukraine

@CleanDNA_2 @visegrad24 😂😂😂😂😝😝. Takes a cuck to know one

@visegrad24 Another Ukraine cuck general. These people are frauds.

U.S. General Christopher Cavoli on Patriot systems in the Ukrainian army: “Frankly, I was just a little bit dubious in the beginning. It’s a complicated system. We trained guys for a long, long time to be able to operate it. The Ukrainians put their best people on it and took to it like a fish to water. In fact, we’re now learning from some of their employment techniques.” 🇺🇸🇺🇦

@wcwc65903672 @BuzzPatterson @ustonymc I was not referring to the large drones. I’m thinking of fpv

@MKitchellAR @BuzzPatterson @ustonymc I object to hyperbole* - and didn't say the US is prepared. I believe the Pentagon is in the process of getting there * "ALL ... IMMEDIATELY" (already proven untrue in Iran). "No one ... is ready" (as if caught off guard) I'm no expert - just dialing it down a notch.

Marines are a special breed! Watch this! Semper Fi! 🤣

@wcwc65903672 @BuzzPatterson @ustonymc I see your point. I was really just referring to this video right there where there’s a guy standing in the open. I know it was bad in the Middle East, but now that IED’s are flying.

81 years ago today yes, my father’s unit, the US 89th Infantry Division, crossed the Rhine at Sankt Goar. At least 100 died at the crossing. Miss you Dad!

@wcwc65903672 @BuzzPatterson @ustonymc How do you have an insight that we are prepared? It’s his historical precedent that most large military fight the last war. I’ve seen firsthand what’s happening in Ukraine, and I highly unlikely we are prepared.

@MKitchellAR @BuzzPatterson @ustonymc Mark, how is it that you have this special insight and you think no one in the United States is ready? Not a great take. Consider deleting.
