Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned Europeans this week that "realities" prevent the U.S. from being its security guarantor, and to expect a drawdown of U.S. forces in the region.
"We are focusing on security of our own borders. We also face a peer competitor in the Communist Chinese with the capability and intent to threaten our homeland and core national interests in the Indo-Pacific," Hegseth told a meeting of a Ukraine Defense Contact Group in Belgium on Wednesday.
"The U.S. is prioritizing deterring war with China in the Pacific. Recognizing the reality of scarcity and making the resourcing trade-offs to ensure deterrence does not fail. Deterrence cannot fail."

This crap should be a given. While he’s at it kick the UN outa NY. Take it to London or Paris and quit wasting our tax dollars on the azzholes. Our dues should be the same as the UK and France. Step up boys. It’s your territory being threatened, we got issues of our own. IMO
You’re on your own, Europe...bye!
Another “Common Sense” statement ….. imo
Oceana, EastAsia, EurAsia.
The only real threat to those countries is woke globalist socialism, Putin is not interested in invading, but half of the Islamic world is, and the way to stop that is by enforcing or enacting better border security, something that America has no real role in anyway.
Take it to Brussels since that is the home of useless government positions that add no value but create BS requirements just like the EU. It can be a giant masterbating bureaucracy.
The war ended 80 years ago. Time to finally grow up and provide for your own defense Europe.
Zelinski ordered the former president arrested as a traitor immediately after Trump announced a possible trip to Moscow.
Trump will have a harder time doing a prisoner exchange to get that former president released with the corrupt little faggot dictator than he had with the Russians. The NAZI is strong in Zelinski. Ukraine was never a democracy and Biden’s Admin became open facists thru their Ukrainian hob-nobbing....
Excellent idea! Then make the UN building an insane asylum for Democrats. Win/ win I tell ya! 👌 Regards.
BTTT
“Prepare To Defend Yourselves.”
Great line from “When We Were Soldiers”.
People stop sticking out their tongues when big daddy will no longer stand behind them.
“You’re on your own, Europe...bye!”
Move the UN to Gaza.
I give it a chance that if they look for the money to support their military, they will find a lot of the same sort of crap we are dealing with now
Why would Trump or the United States care one whit about the legal difficulties of the former President of Ukraine?
Not our circus, not our monkeys!
Ukraine and Zenlinski are making the point they are irredeemable and are proving they were never a democracy.
This has more to do with the dact even the Zeepers can no longer defend the Nazi regime in Kiev.
Starmer will be quick to jump on this and pull the 100 year deal.
Now that Zenlinski has charged his future presidential opponent with treason the West will begin to jump ship.
Oh wait you are right...
Macron, Schultz, Starmer, Biden, and the whole of EU/NATO leadership are now on the wrong indefenceable side of a war where they installed a regime and propped up a dictator and mass murdered.
This Western leadershipis going to get a much deserved trip to the dust bin of histories memory hole.
Therefore, we need to withdraw from NATO.
Meh...Zelenski and Ukraine have been making that point since April 2022 when they let Boris Johnson convince them to tear up a negotiated settlement with Russia.
