Europeans DID NOTHING. It was POLAND which did most of the early help. Poland opened the BORDERS. Poland sent tanks when Germany was sending helmets. And Trump did give Ukraine Javelins which saved them early on. You need to stop being IGNORANT. Berlin did very little. France did even less.

America didn't need that help. It was for political reasons.

If you're saying you can't play ball with half of America, then you need to find allies elsewhere. They're not in France or Berlin (the country which paid Russia the most money for gas and oil).

@DarrenWeese 1000s? UK lost 500 people in Afghanistan and 200 Iraq. Britain also had problems with radical terr-orism. The Yanks didn't need those soldiers, they were there for political reasons. The Americans CAN DEFEND their own country and they can defend Europe and Taiwan and Japan and Korea and Israel and everyone else, but Europe can't defend itself. Because Western Europe never saw Russia as a threat. The Germans would love to do business with Putin.

@GM-id9nu America is not doing everything but Western Europe does TOO LITTLE. Can you please argue in good faith?

@PhilipFly11 The UK did not ask for help. The country has to ask for help and it's not automatic. The UK believed it could deal with Argentina alone and back then it was a much stronger power with a large navy, SAS and airforce.

@adriansheldon7778 After WW2 which destroyed Europe and Asia and America was the only industrial power left over the Americans took Western Europeans under their wing. We in Eastern Europe had to be under Stalin. The Americans REBUILT Western Europe and offered the same to Eastern Europe but Russia said NO. Then we had the Cold War. During the Cold War an event called the Berlin Blockade occurred. The Americans risked their lives to provide relief. After that the Americans sent 400K+ soldiers to Europe and these guys spent their working careers in Europe. Protecting Europe. They also sent troops to fight in Korea and Vietnam. They pulled out of Vietnam but they stayed in Korea till today and defend it. They rebuilt Japan and Germany and turned them into No 3 and 4 world economies. Stable. The Japanese currently no longer worry about war and can focus on school girl idols and the Germans turned to David Hasselhoff. They also defended Taiwan and they also provide aid to 10s of countries around the world. When they defeated the USSR they allowed us to enter NATO. After the USSR defeat the Western Europeans demiltarised and focused on the social state and later the green deal. To achieve the green deal the Germans turned to cheap Russian gas. Putin wanted more influence in Europe and China also wants to be top dog so they turned on the US. The Germans were happy to do business with both however because most Western Europeans are not grateful to America. Now the Yanks (and they've asked this since GWB) want more European NATO payments and Europeans said no. We bribe Russia said the Jerries and opened up more anti-EU deals with Russia = Nordstream. We're now here. Now America is the baddie because Germany wants to have the green deal and socialism for all including migrants and cheap deals with Putin.

Does it disgust you that he may pull soldiers out of Germany and put them in Poland?

@ Because the guy said that Trump is disgusting. But Trump actually wants to protect those countries which feel threatened and want to put an effort in to common security. Poland wants permanent US forces stationed there. It makes ABSOLUTELY no sense to have Americans permanently in Germany because Germany is not West Germany of the Cold War anymore but is well behind Poland and is not in danger of a Russian attack. Why do you want the US out of Europe? Why do you speak for me when I as a Polish European WANT the US in Europe especially on the Eastern Flank of NATO? We want the US in Poland and we want them in Poland PERMANENTLY and not rotationally. Trump may be disliked by the woke people but for us Americans in Poland are existential for Poland and nearby NATO countries. Americans in Poland also keep the Baltic countries safe. Thank you.

@oneoldmanontheroad9034 Did it not disgust you when Biden gave aid on a drip or when Germany refused to allow their Leopard 2s to be used in Ukraine? Why did that not disgust you? Why did it not disgust you that Germany sent first aid kits while Poland was sending tanks and the Polish PM was the first to visit Zelenski in Kyiv while the Russian columns were still a short distance away? What was Macron doing then? He was phoning Putin. He called Morawiecki a 'bigot'. What was Berlin doing? They sent first aid kits. Come on man. Don't believe the vacuous French/German words. They will not rearm. And if they rearm it will be 10% of what they claim and by 2035.

@thomasnewman9501 No worse than Austrians speak Austrian and Polish concentration camp Obama. Oh yes, who ignored Putler when he invaded Crimea? Who laughed when Poles were warning about Russia?

Your mind is not rational.

@h.a.9880 Poland opened the borders and supports >1 mil Ukrainian refugees with everything. Germany supports on paper. How much of their 'aid' was actually delivered? Polish PM was the FIRST politician to visit Zelensky in Kyiv while the Russian columns were 10km away. Poland sent tanks. And Polish farmers are upset because Ukrainian oligarchs dumped Ukrainian grain WHICH DOES NOT MEET EU STANDARDS in Poland instead of sending it to AFRICA where it's needed. You're ignorant my friend and your troll friends repeat propaganda and fake news. If Poland had a PRO-BERLIN government in 2022 in charge, Poland would give NO AID to Ukraine because Berlin gave no aid for the first 6 months. And they exaggerate their aid. How long did it take for them to give permission for Poland to give her L2 tanks to Ukraine? Educate yourself please. And 'fascist' are people who support Nordstream or send weapons to Russia (Thales France).

@amattaa11 The time Zelensky called out Duda in front of the whole UN after Duda accepted 2 million+ Ukrainain refugees, gave a million of them free social support, free child support, free healthcare, housing and education and sent tanks, IFVs and weapons to Ukraine from day 1 of the war, and when Morawiecki and Kaczynski visited him as the FIRST foreign world leaders to visit Kyiv since the aggression started? What should I forget? Maybe try to see a bigger picture here and not just the last 5 seconds of this movie.

@jandrews6254 What would you rely on instead? German first aid kits? The French who did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in September 1939? Or the British who also did very little while Poland was being destroyed in 1939. So tell me, who would you rely on? Because so far, it was America who helped us out in the Cold War and America put soldiers in Poland right now and Trump wants to increase US presence there. Don't let your wokeness condemnn Polish people. So tell me, who will help us? We're under no lllusions. We're helping ourselves but we do have a Polish diaspora in the US who voted 84% for Trump and Trump is someone who remembers both insults and favours. After 4 years a different president will come and we will have to deal with him and so on. But for Poland the worst president was probably Obama. Reagan and Bush were the best and Trump actually put soldiers into Poland.

@jandrews6254 I'm not American.

@MrGujesgujes Polish with 1/4 English ancestry. You?

@happyfelix1440 That's good. Norwegians are OK although Fins and Swedes are more serious when it comes to NATO.

@user-sf3ks1yl5b Norway is not really threatened by Russia. And Norway gets to export expensive LNG and so take advantage of the situation, Essentially what Trump wants to do but nobody complains about Norway doing it.
1
@user-sf3ks1yl5b Putin in 2021 asked the Americans to pull out of the new NATO. He is happy for Norway to be in the Western sphere of influence. So not much of a threat in terms of Russian tanks rolling in.

Trump will help you. But you have to contribute 4% of GDP. You have to make a choice. The free ride is over.

US is not out of NATO. Europe is bluffing and won't defend or pay for Ukraine. As usual the Germans are spreading nonsense. They always make their contributions much larger than they really are. And US is not out of NATO. I know woke people hate Trump but Trump actually likes Poland. He said he wants to move forces into Poland. Poland just needs a sensible pro-American and not a pro-Berlin government.
