It’s called building up your own military, so you can protect your own borders. Europe has relied too many times on the U.S. coming to save their asses. Europe hasn’t learned a god damn thing after two world wars.
Did you not read my post?
If the U.S. cuts off aid, but some NATO allies choose to pick up that cost on their own, what's the problem? It's no longer U.S. taxpayer funds being used, but rather the funds of Polish, Germany, and other European taxpayers being used to bleed the Russian military.
How is that not a good thing? Europeans picking up the cost of defending Europe is exactly what we've been pushing for decades.
That’s just not going to happen.
They can’t provide what Ukraine wants and they know it... But they would love to boot Putin and get at Russia’s resouces. Are they going to cover Ukrains Commuications? They have nothing without Starlink.
Exactly!
You gal lost so give it a rest.
Those "allies" can go for it. But, if they enter into a war against Russia, they should NOT expect us to participate.
Poland, you go ahead and throw join the loser’s lot that banded together to create the Russia Hoax and Impeach Trump along with Zelkinski’s crew. If the Polish has any brains at all they distance themselves from Biden, Zelinski and Brits.
The British have a New Special Relationship with the US. We shall see a new FM in the Isles soon. They’ll probably get rid of many of the faces in Parliament before the end of January 2025.
Poland is so far at the end of Western Civilization that they will have to Pipe in Sunshine when it comes to trade. They cannot trade with Russia. Everything must go West and not towards Russia. This in itself is a great disadvantage in terms of time and money in trade when reaching Asia.
Russia would never try to invade Poland. According to everyone who supports Ukraine though, this is one of the reasons for the war. Yet at the same time this line of thought is promoted, those same people talk about how Russia cannot defeat Ukraine - the truth is somewhere, but not in the middle or in Ukraine. Modern warfare makes it impossible for large armies to sweep acrosss Europe as in WWII. The truth is that Poland found that being the Port of Entry for NATO equipment going into Ukraine was Big Business - and as a matter of GDP it is probabl 1-2% profits. Transit of equipment, hosting NATO troops, is all profitable enterprize. Without the conflict in Ukraine, Poland stands to lose a lot of future revenue as the need for equipment and personnel is reduced. Poland then finds themselves at the edge of the NATO empire. The only way Poland and Russia fight is if Poland joins the conflict in Ukraine. We have heard mudch bulster about incompetent Russians in Ukraine and then we hear how they are going to occupy all of Europe.
Scaring people is good for the MIC. It’s good for politicians. It simply transfers money from the people and fans hate. Poland is all about the money being made in Ukraine. Of course they want to keep the money coming in.
Helping to prolong the war or trying to cause Trump problems can result in Trump simply washing his hands and dumping the whole mess in the EU’s lap.
The reason we hear that Trump might dump Ukraine on the EU is simply becasue so many in the EU want to sabotage his peace efforts.
More power to the warmongers. Let them beat Trump and stop his peace overtures before he can implement anything - Trump can blame the whole mess on Biden and these crew.
As for Zelinski, the State Department is already putting together elections in Ukraine (becasue Ukraine refuses too) and Zelinski will be replaced in face saving elections.
Nobody cares about Ukraine or the people. It has come down to how long money can be made. This is the most useless reason for a war, yet it is a model the EUropeans have used in Africa and around the world since the mid-1700s.
