@dmitrizorkin3851 War is on your doorstep and yet 5% is too much. ?

Broe has jumped the shark. His work is no longer about Ukraine anywhere as much as it about his TDS. Subscribers have been peeling off for months as a result.

@andreverwoerd1378 Read his anger in the threads. Jake keeps telling subscribers off. This is sort of a new thing for him. I can see him getting even more exposure and fans. That does not mean he's not unloading quite a few.

Europe, especially Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, Britain have gotten complacent -- that's the polite term -- expecting the US to be its mercenary defender. The amount of aid given by Europeans has been PATHETIC. When Trump broached the idea that Germany was coasting towards doom -- back at the UN -- years ago -- snickers and laughter were his reward. Three-years have passed and Europeans have sucked up to Putin this ENTIRE time -- by not ramping up their war budgets. Fighting over an increase of + 0.5% of GDP -- just to get things UP to 2% -- Europeans are not serious. They don't belong at the table. (Berlin is still trying to get away with kicking in two howitzers a month.) Everything is business as usual. Britain sends 14 tanks -- scraps 42 more at the same instant. Why? Policy! When Macron proposed a European contingent to assure peace -- the position not really defined -- no-one accepted the notion. WWII got rolling when STALIN, not Adolf, figured things out. He initiated the M-R Pact -- not the other way around. Adolf built a head of steam because France would not come to the aid of Prague. One-by-one every nation attempted to stay away from the fight -- until it came knocking. We are witnessing the exact same trait right now. Europe: You are feckless.

@Therakus The European aid has been financial. Zelenskyy & Company are corrupt -- same as Biden, Putin, Orban, and Xi... so they stole an astounding amount of EU aid. Trump knows this to be true, Putin knows it. However, it can't be spoken of in diplomatic circles. There is Bad Blood between Zelenskyy and Trump -- ever since Zelenskyy triggered Trump's first impeachment and sent Biden into the WH. This matter is KEY. It totally animates Trump's diplomacy. And it can't be mentioned in the Press. Instead, Zelenskyy is portrayed as Winston 2.0. Kicking Trump out of the WH so that Biden, Zelenskyy's stooge, 'on the pad,' could screw things up -- world-wide was a SIN. It's no wonder Trump wants Kyiv to have a fresh election PDQ. Like a Democrat, Zelenskyy loathes the prospect of an audit. For both Putin and Zelenskyy a forever war really does look like the most viable outcome at this point. Peace would have to mean death for Putin. His own crew will eat him alive. Zelenskyy's Churchillian reputation will shatter without war. Europe throws money when the only coins that count are blood and iron. 14 tanks is a JOKE from Britain -- the inventor of tanks. Eight-howizers a month is a joke from France. Belgium is even worse, and it's the birthplace of cannons. (!) Europe can't even give up on imported Russian fertilizer. Europe won't even seize Putin's stash -- and give it to the defense of Ukraine. Europe is feckless -- to its bone.
