Choose invasion over nukes? Because using the later would be suicide.

I'm in the category of 'do more'.

I'm sure we in Europe would rather buy Canadian energy instead from a non-reliable source like the US.

@MrSimonw58 Stop spreading unrelated BS!

US backed Afghanistan: holds for over 20 years....

 @Gideon920 What a load of BS! Europe is paying more than the US which has, until now, only shoved phased out weapon systems to Ukraine.

@kadourimdou43 Yeah because the United States did not want European countries to develop their own nukes.

@Mercury.S. Remember the percentage to spend on their own defense is still a RECOMMENDATION. NOT a requirement as Trump tries to frame it.

@wolfgangemmerich7552 Hahaha, good luck with that.

Yep, dictators and billionaires have to stick together.

@Paint-brigade1776 Duh, that's why we use percentage. The US would not be able to get to 5% themselves yet they want other members to do so.

So turtle soup soon...

@infidelheretic923 West Europe tried that with trade with Russia. It didn't work and probably never will.

The U.S. is the first to surrender to Russia. This has to be the beginning of the decline of the United States. Looks like Zeihan needs to reconsider his view on the world.

@timothyd9543 If Ukraine falls NATO and Taiwan will be next and that could mean American fighting on two fronts in European and Taiwan. Letting the Ukrainians do the fighting and providing them with weapons is the smartest way of tackling that issue especially when you consider that the US doesn't have the stomach for a real war. So helping Ukraine now will ensure that it doesn't become your problem in the future. For some strange reason a lot of Isolationists in the US don't seem to have a notion of geo-politics.

Europe could order some extra parts or will China also ban it's biggest customers? 🤣

Russia will not collapse because the idiots of the Trump administration are going to lift the sanctions thereby setting the stage for WW3.

And yet the US and some European leaders are STILL looking for their balls. Afraid of escalation....

They will build a new dam and Russia is going to pay for it and for the clean up.

If the world looks at the United States as an example the we're f*cked.

@wisenber Yes Biden pulled them out after he realized some countries will never become a democracy. A lot like Russia. It also never became a democracy. Only a fake one.

@RoninTF2011 And Poland be like: Don't whine but work.

@SeruraRenge11 To be fair, it was never about that but simple expansionism.

@DavidGitongawriter As I mentioned.

@ No I didn't. You have no clue so you are just writing shit.

The Dutch system safeguards us from individuals like Wilders because they are forced to form a coalition and thus have to make concessions. So the most anti-constitutional points will probably not make it.

@ewok40k Dying of age...

Farmers. The most subsidized group that thinks their business is different than others.

Russia will always go for 'fight another day'. Even they don't have te stomach to launch nukes. If they even capable of launching them considering they state of their weapon systems.

If the US pulls out of NATO the threat of a nuclear world war increases exponential and isolationism won't save you then.

@xzy89c What weapons has the U.S. provided the last 7 months while it was struggling with The Russian infiltration in it's democracy! None. During that time Europe stood by Ukraine giving everything we have while at the same time making sure we still can protect ourselves in case the U.S. elects Trump and puts a knife in our back.

@armyfazer1410 It always was an alliance but one presidential candidate wants to make it a mob thing with 'protection money'. The U.S. is also slipping mentally.

Do we actually care?
