This is literally the behavior of a traitor
Seriously, what happened USA? You were never the best, not even close, you were one of the worst, but st least you tried. Now you just kinda dropped pretence and went full asshole
And only 6 months into one administration. Honestly I’ve never seen politicians work so fast at anything
4 years followed by 4 years of biden where republicans blocked almost everything but he is now a perfect puppet to blame for everything and now the next 6 months. But Trump already started to refill positions back then.
I’m not saying Donald is a russian asset… But what more could daddy vladdy wish for?
Yup. Doing Putin’s work. So you’re going to withrdraw from an even more powerful alliance right in the middle of an arms race. Fucking genius strategery right there.
From a Turkish perspective, it’s fucking ridiculous for Trump to first convince us to increase the defense budget, then withdraw from the alliance completely. The fuck is his goal?
Well, in a democracy it’s important that people who want this can try to make it happen via official procedure, which this is.
That said, the people who want this are assholes and probably in bed with Russia.
That is the problem with democracies - they have no active protection of their own because it would be undemocratic on principle.
So we dont buy US military kit. It’s got kill switches and hard to keep running without their support. It’s increasing looking like they aren’t aligned with the free world.
And then Russia can do whatever the fuck they want. Which is what daddy Trump wants.
Oh trump’s definitely not the “daddy” in this relationship.
Not really. European NATO countries are currently strong enough to repel a Russian attack if we so wish. Taking into account how strong the Russia is at the moment. It will be stronger in the future, but we are easily able to increase our strength more than the Russia can.
And if USA withdraws from NATO, then the rest of EU, not only Finland, Baltics, Sweden, and Poland will be forced to take defence seriously. This will make NATO more like it was supposed to be, and it will no longer be used for offensive wars.
But… USA withdrawing from NATO would of course have negative sides:
- a war with the Russia would not end in two days with a decisive victory for us as it would with USA in, but would drag on for weeks at least, likely years. And thousands or tens of thousands would die.
- USA’s allies in Asia would not dare to trust USA anymore and would turn towards China for coöperation, regardless of China’s imperialism. This would make China stronger, which would be bad for Europe.
But still: The EU is the biggest economy on this planet. We are absolutely able to win a war against a country with an economy only as big as one of our 27 member states. We just need to bother to do so. Which means we’ll need to change our mindset. Heh.
Right now nearly all aid to Ukraine comes from Europe and Russia is not able to win that war. At least not easily. That is with Russia in a war economy, whereas Europe half asses deliveries for the most part and obviously there are over a million professional European soldiers with some really good kit around as well.
I’m fairly sure Ukraine is almost stronger than EU combined right now. We would NOT speedrun Russia, and Russia is a death cult that would have hundreds if not millions of casualties on their side, even if we did (saying this as a Serbian, and we are normally very proud of our combat abilities for some reason).
Russia could not even prevent Assad from falling to some militia with some training from Turkey, while Iran was also helping. What do you believe is going to happen, if they would try to fight another professional military? They are not even winning in Ukraine, which gets some support from Europe, while Russia has a full on war economy.
As predicted years ago.
Trump is Putin’s ally, not NATO’s.
This was forseen by some YEARS ago…
As I’ve said before, they’re committed to destroying all the “woke” countries in a pincer between Putin & Trump,
& that’s why Greenland is required, so the US can do to Canada what Russia’s been doing to Ukraine, & once Canada’s destroyed, then the hated-by-them-both EU can be destroyed.
It’s a strategy, & it will succeed unless the TrueNATO countries SMARTEN UP SHARPLY, QUICKLY, which looks to not be going to happen…
Whatever.
There are other worlds in endless-stream-of-universes: our continuums/souls will just do it again, on another world, after obliterating this “Garden of Eden” world, right?
whatever.
Watching humankind “prevent” snuffing-of-humankind is like watching a junkie’s life be obliterated by whatever junk they’re addicted-to.
Inevitable, depressing, pointless…
Oh, sure, it’s possible that the addict in question might somehow change & fight-for-their-life against their unconscious-mind’s obliteration-addiction, but is it likely?
not.
Meanwhile, Putin and Russia is cheering this on. The parties they are going to throw are going to be absolutely epic. You’ve heard the party of the decade, you’ve heard of the party of the century, get ready for the party of the millennium.
Mike Lee is a notoriously despicable person even by GOP standards and the bill doesn’t have any legs. Like, just a week ago he said terrible things about the Minnasotan politicians who were shot dead in their homes, and he’s also the one who was pushing to sell off public lands (which he was bullied out of; also seems to be in the pocket of the Mormon cult).
The US stance on NATO is complicated under the current US regime but I doubt it’ll be by this assholes bill.
It seems highly unlikely for this to pass. There are so many bills being proposed but often it’s not actually relevant since it’s going nowhere.
Agreed. Sensationalist newsweek article and title.
If we attack the USA, can I get some land in North Carolina?
I like this! It’s a good thing for the EU to decouple from the US. The EU’s military budget is definitely good enough, just very badly managed. This will push the EU to get its shit together and achieve proper autonomy. Only then it’ll be able to enter international agreements on equal footing with other superpowers and not have it be a serfdom relationship in exchange for protection
All of Europe will be Russia.
Good…GOOD. Immigrants in EU welcome! 😁
