US President Donald Trump has asked European allies for a lot lately – the use of military bases, the potential relocation of missile defense systems and generally stronger support for US military action against Iran.
Many responses have been lukewarm, with allies offering limited defensive support but also repeatedly calling for de-escalation. But increasingly, White House requests have been met with a firm “no.” Or nie, non, rifiuto.
This week, Italy denied a US request for aircraft to land at a military base in Sicily, according to state broadcaster RAI on Tuesday.
Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has perhaps been the most outspoken – doubling down on his condemnation of US strikes and his position of not authorizing the use of Spanish military bases or airspace for any activity relating to war in Iran.
Rather than tread lightly, Spain’s defense minister Margarita Robles Fernández has called the war launched by the US and Israel “profoundly illegal and profoundly unjust.”
Meanwhile, Poland’s defense minister has said the country will not relocate any of its Patriot missile batteries, which it’s using to protect NATO’s eastern flank amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

That’s because Europe supports despots and tyrants… and Muslims.
Being that you are a known TDSer, what do YOU think of this?
CNN just told ANOTHER lie. Why do people post articles from CNN.
They can’t handle the revenge of the fuzzies hey allowed in - they’re hostage to them now.
Insane to have let these wild primitives into their countries!
He doesnt actually need their help…. He is simply spotlighting our true allies and exposing the frauds. And like clockwork , these scumbags do not disappoint.
And rogue Poops...
CNN
lol
Trump is right. And the EU is a bunch of commie pussies.
Trump reveals what we always knew.
Take our forces out of Europe. Only export oil/nat gas to Europe only when our own needs have been met. But do so at a premium to them.
That will hurt their economies in many ways.
I have always considered Europeans descendants of those who didn’t have the courage to risk everything to cross the Atlantic and forge a life out of a plot of land. They are genetically weak.
This, exactly.
‘ They are genetically weak.’
Let me guess. Your genetics are strong and powerful.
How do they help you besides posing bs on an Internet forum?
I have to believe that Trump knows how this will play out. He could never have taken us out of NATO while Ukraine was the biggest security issue but having successfully taken Ukraine out of the top spot on the priority list, he can justify leaving NATO for the reason that they are not backing us up. I hope that we end our involvement in European defense. It is way past time.
The uroweenies are now deathly afraid of the islamic head choppers that they’ve allowed to overrun their countries....dummies, to the nth degree.
If World Wars I and II had been fought here in North America, I think a lot of warmongering clowns in the U.S. would have been laughed out of politics and polite society years ago.
LOL!
