When has Europe ever been united on anything?
Besides being jealous of the USA.

France would like the EU - which is a confederation and a customs union - to become a nation, the United States of Europe. France thinks unification would mean it (France) would emerge as the leader of a third force in the world. No. Under the French vision for Europe, Europe would result in the entire continent becoming weak.

The Euro-weenies should think what it would take for them to be like Poland. Instead of relying on the U.S. to defend them, they should develop a culture by which they defend themselves. If Europe thought like Poland, it would be second in the world, not a third force. The EU, either on its own or as part of NATO, would be ahead of China and well ahead of Russia.

An alliance of a strong Europe with the United States would then help both through mutual defense, instead of an “alliance” by which we defend them, and in so doing force us have to stretch our defense thin.

The absurdity that Russia has any designs on Europe. Russia doesn't want transvestites, illegals, mud people, Godless pagans, and hedonists.

There will be a new Iron Curtain. A new Wall. This new Wall will be to protect Russia from Europe's schemes and plots and hedonism and immorality.

Russia believes in God.

Europe is Atheist.

Oh, look. Third post on the same subject this morning.

Ergo, what is warranted is a third response this morning:

Radoslaw Sikorski is quite an interesting Pole. One may also refer to him as Mister Anne Applebaum.

Minister of Foreign Affairs under Donald Tusk, he has a wiki. In it, one reads in part: "In another part of the leaked conversation, Sikorski was reported to have said: 'The Polish-American alliance is worthless. It is even harmful because it creates a false sense of security for Poland'."

Why mention Sikorski's wife since 1992? Here's her take on President Trump"

Why Does Trump Sound Like Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini? Article for Atlantic, 18 October 2024.

Combining this fine married couple's views, President Trump sounds like Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini," AND "The Polish-American alliance is worthless."

Morning in America. Mourning among European elites.

Can you imagine what a cluster a unified army would be?

I’m assuming the Polish army is top of the line well trained professional soldiers. Now sprinkle in a batch of Scandinavian woke females and trannies carrying their pride flags and such. And the Polish soldiers told they have to put up with that or be severely disciplined. (sound familiar)

Have they even considered "capitulation" instead of "war" ?

If the EU stopped stealing Russia's gas and agrees to pay back even a fraction of what they and looters like the Bidens stole , then there would be no reason for Russia to be there protecting it's interests.

and there would be no need for the extortion racketeers to call Russia protecting it's interests a hostile action.

Europe’s “contribution” always consists of talking while waiting for the USA to do something. The USA finally has a president who works for the good of America.

So, what options are left for Zelensky other than to accept whatever deal Trump and Putin work out?

The weapons systems and capabilities that NATO countries need are too expensive for one country to build, operate, and maintain. I am talking airlift capacity, anti-missile systems, naval capabilities and possessing one without the others does not enhance an individual countries security. Only if they form a unified military will they be able to become independent of Uncle Sam. Maybe they could secure the eastern front with individual militaries but without heavy lift capacity they cannot exert influence outside the continent.
