Not really feasible. The US has intelligence assets, spy satellites, AWACs, munitions spare parts, etc. that Europe can’t easily replace or doesn’t hold the rights to distribute to Ukraine without US consent.

There is a reason the US doesn’t have universal healthcare.

Perhaps the Afgani’s and Palestinians shouldn’t start fights they can’t finish.

Absolutely, they are destroying the rules based order with no fucking clue as to what will replace it.

Wow you sound sooo smart! Waaay more smart than me, a dumb American!

Please educate me on the date that the EU began to field an army?

I 100% agree.

For at least the next 4 years I would not count on the US honoring any security arrangements. Any intelligence shared with us is likely going to be passed to Russia.

Lol sorry, every nation in Europe is a sovereign entity and is responsible for the safety of their citizens and the integrity of their borders.

Poland made the decision to arm itself and has been spending for years. Lack of investment in the military is fundamentally a national decision to divert money into other programs or tax cuts.

The US has been becoming less and less interested in the rules based order we built after WW2 for the last 20 years.

Many people have predicted this would happen. You have only yourselves to blame.

Russia was a peer adversary and we had a very intelligent and calm president at the time.

Today France can’t project power into Africa without the US providing logistical support and our President is nuttier than a fruitcake and is itching to let the military off the chain with any pretext to annex Canada.

Dream on.

You must be smoking some good shit.

The US did not allow nukes in Cuba in the 60s. We very nearly had a nuclear war over it. You think the US will roll over and allow a second tier power like France to do it now?

Yeah… you physically did everything possible to bring what is coming to pass.

Keep spinning that narrative.

Lol, keep on spinning that cognitive dissonance web. I love to hear the excuses.

How’s that anti-Harris sentiment working out for you?

No doubt they are intended to cleave the U.S.A.’s greatest asset from it. Our allies and the rules based global order. Russia and China can not defeat it.

But they can defeat a weakened isolated USA. Or better yet they can establish their own regional hegemony when the USA that has no further interest in foreign intervention.

If Trump does raise tariffs across the board on Canada and Mexico we will have stagflation well within 6 months. There will be nothing the Fed can do to stop it as this is not market driven. There is no way they can even pretend wages can keep up with a sudden artificial 25% price increase.

Stop buying his shitty cars. If his Tesla stock tanks the rest of his empire will crumble.

The US won’t let Space X go under. They will nationalize it and let current management run it. But the rest of his business ventures will go under without Tesla propping them up.

Yeah no, Europe is toast. For most of the continent the demographics are terminal. In the US we have a large Millennial and gen Z population that can replace the boomers. Europe doesn’t have that.

People between the ages of 25 to 45 power the economy through consumption because they are trying to establish households and families. They do not have enough young people to support their own industries. Much like China they need export markets like the US where consumption is strong to stay afloat. The US is the only rich market that will be consumption driven for the next 20 or 30 years before our it’s demographics begin to fail.

However, Trump is all bluster, he will back down if he can score some kind of win even if it is small. He can’t start trade wars with most of the world’s major economies without inciting rampant inflation in the US. That’s why he didn’t implement his tariffs on day one of his presidency like he promised. Ignore him or give him something small and he will go away.

Stop giving him attention and taking his words seriously. He is just trying to dominate the news cycle.

Yep there it is.

Such a black and white attitude towards the world. You must be fun at parties.

No one can predict the future but Ukraine has caught Russia unprepared by rushing small but well equipped units to the front to take land during the Kursk offensive and then rush reinforcements in afterwards.

It’s not out of the realm of possibility for Russia to do the same in the Baltics.

Republicans are not a monolithic entity.

There are people like Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney and Megan McCain who are all right wing Dbags but see Trump for what he is. Aside from the tech bros like Elon Musk there are those in the business community that do not support Trump because they don’t have a seat at the table.

They failed just as much as Biden and the Democrats did to stop this.
