“What does Trump expect a handful of European frigates to do that the powerful U.S. Navy cannot?” German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said on Monday. “This is not our war, and we didn’t start it.”

“Neither the United States nor Israel consulted us before the war, and ... Washington explicitly stated at the outset ​of the war that European assistance was neither necessary nor desired,” German spokesperson Stefan Kornelius added.

They’d rather let Uncle Sugar pay the bill, and enjoy the results for free as the Iranian nuclear threat is eliminated.

Let’s remember that attitude when they lose people in the future.

These are not allies. They are left wing politicians trying to stay in power by fighting Trump.

This is another great development. USA is being excused from paying for the defense of EU. One country at a time.

Ungrateful reprobates. We didn’t start WWII, either, but we sure helped win it!

Europe always wants the US to come and back them up when they have trouble. Ukraine gets hot? Call the US, we’ll be there.

The US would like some back up from Europe when there is trouble with Iran. Europe says Not us. You’re on your own.

Let’s see how it goes next time Europe asks for help.

I really wish Trump would reply something like “OK, it sounds like you don’t want oil and gas. Well, after we control Hormuz, that’s exactly how much you’re going to get”.

What these stupid career politicians don't understand is that Trump is negotiating as a businessman. If you reject his offer, there will be negative consequences.

If you negotiate in good faith, you will move to a common ground that includes positive consequences for you. It's give and take. It's negotiation. You win some and lose some, but in the end, you come to see the reality of a situation.

Europe and the Woke West doesn't want to see reality. They want to define reality in a way that is comfortable and confirming.

That won't happen.

“This is not our war, and we didn’t start it.”

President Trump can say the same thing about Russia's invasions.
