The worst-case scenario is now a possible one: European troops fighting off an invasion largely alone.
It’s by no means clear the Europeans would succeed. Romanian and other European officials at the exercise in Cincu, about 260 kilometers (162 miles) north of Bucharest by road, voiced concerns about how long it would take for NATO allies to make it to the front.
French four-star General Philippe de Montenon said he’s confident Europe could prevail, even without the US on side. “The direction of history is a progressive disengagement of the United States from the European continent,” he said.
It’s kind of funny how the West is getting beat by its own game.
We only care about the money.
Edit: Apparently this reality upsets a lot of you.
You think Putin and his oligarch buddies don’t only care about the money?
Trump does. Oligarchs & dictators too. What’s your point?
The West will only do what it believes will make its rulers the most amount of money.
If Americans think it’s more profitable for their rulers to avoid supporting NATO, then that’s what they’re going to do.
Russia will only do what it believes will make its rulers the most amount of money.
But Russia is West of the USA
The West
Yeah that really clarified everything about your POV, thank you.
I was clear from the beginning, but ok.
