I’m with Zellensky, the “interesting” thing will turn out to be, whether or not Mr. “no foreign wars” is going to put US boots on the ground in Ukraine to back it’s complete surrender to Russia, and if Europe will start marching troops into Ukraine wearing “were not NATO” tshirts. And while the cartoon is funny, what’s not funny is Canada spends 1.38% of it’s GDP on defense, Europe on average spends ~ 2%, they’ve both enjoyed the post war defensive umbrella that the united states has provided and for the last 70 years, even after war reconstruction, they’ve decided to spend their GDP on yearly 5 week holidays for their workers, and “free” healthcare for their citizens. though a few european states are nuclear armed, in a ground fight, Europe and Canada could not pose a deterrent through production of arms, or standing armies of soldiers, in 10 years if they started yesterday.
Yeah, as an American I want free healthcare, five weeks vacation and only a few % spending on defense and a lack of nukes outside of power plants.
You wanna know how we do that? By taxing the fucking rich or beheading them if they won’t comply. You don’t get to hundreds of millions of dollars or billions without exploiting and stealing from everyone else. Time to pay up or shut up for good.
Hegseth, Musk and Vance have effectively declared NATO is dead as far as US is concerned. The only interest they have with europe is pilfering and looting your resources.
How ironic that the only country to actually invoke Article 5 and receive NATO assistance under it is the one that’s now ditching NATO.
NATO by and large has been a tool of America to make Europe subservient to it, rather than an equal ally.
People forget that the cold war was all about two countries trying to carve the world up into their own ideologies. America’s was the better option for a while, But Now they’re no option.
Putin is an old man who fantasises about eras bygone, hes a conniving and sneaky person with ultimately very simple and untintelligent goals.
