The Europeans (in general) have not learned from previous dabbles with leftism and totalitarianism. They seem to hate the principles our country was founded on. Why should we expend U.S. lives to protect that?
Europeans toe the followers of Mo.
Europeans always think of Americans as houd mouth cowboys. On top of that Europeans have a superiority complex, totally unjustified based on history of wars among themselves and March towards socialism.
The Europeans have chosen to protect their cities from Muslim bombs by stuffing them with Muslims.
Does or did NATO, as NATO, have a role to play in terms of unclogging the Strait of Hormuz?
Pursuant to its own notion of what its mission is in the world?
Only asking because Trump might have been demanding more of NATO, as NATO, than NATO allows itself to do, as an organization.
Now, the European countries that make up NATO are of course not subject to any kind of “mission statement”, and could have helped. And many should have helped, or helped more.
...which many of FR's resident neocons unequivocally supported.
At the same time, however, they refuse to offer even symbolic gestures of reciprocity or consider American interests. Providing meaningful assistance with the Iran conflict is considered unthinkable. Instead, EU leaders feel entitled to lecture American officials and criticize Washington’s pragmatic policies.
The bolded part: that's an undeserved sense of entitlement. And while the article says 'anti Trump', what it really means imho is that Europe expects US citizens to be both their piggy bank and mercenary army that they don't have to pay for.
I would watch 2026 and 2028 for EU (and now satellite England) interference in US elections.
“Over 600 Catholic churches in Germany have closed since 2000, while in the Netherlands, two-thirds of Catholic churches are expected to be out of commission within a decade.” GROK
The death of Christianity is the death of Western Civilization. Bank it.
Condi Rice said it long ago, when she was Secretary of State under Bush: “Europe’s values are not our values.” We should stop pretending that they are like us. They are not. Their antiTrumpism, for example, is merely a distraction to keep from their own people the fact that collectively, Europe is a basket case—economically, politically, culturally. And that they have done it to themselves.
You cannot betray that to which you do not owe loyalty.
I post about this all the time when articles are posted about American figure “X” betrays Ukraine or similar.
“Europe” does not owe loyalty to any US administration, official, or politician. Zero.
So, “Europe” can’t “betray” the Trump administration, or any other US administration.
Pull all the troops out of EU countries. Let NATO do its own thing under EU control without the USA. We have spent trillions rebuilding Europe after WWII (that is not WW eleven), providing their defense. After the first Gulf war, we brought home thousands of service people that had been in the gulf and brought those troops back to the USA and started the pull out. Pull out the rest. Let them defend their selves. Time for them to grow up and show up. Time for us to defend what we need to defend. Germany, france and the UK ain’t it. Keep troops in European countries, like Poland, who support us.
The historic civilizations of. Europe, who gave great contributions to the world, are in the process of becoming extinct. A singleness of purpose totalitarian collective is altering them on the way to conquest.
Betrayed Trump? How about betrayed Christian civilization by submitting to Islam and filling up every white Christian nation with hordes of turd world savages.
