Gee who could have seen that threatening your allies for over a year and then asking for help in a illegal, ill planned to distract from the Epstein files would have your allies declining your invitation for help.

    What? You don’t want to put hundreds of German soldiers and billions of dollars in equipment at risk to prop up an industry that doesn’t affect you nearly as much as it affects us???

    Good for them but I also wonder if this is exactly what Trump and his minions want.

    Like now he can go back and claim he is going to tarriff every country who doesnt help some insane amount until they send forces.

    I mean this would require thinking ahead and I do not want to attribute any actual forethought to these people but it seems an obvious play to me.

      He’ll use this as an excuse to push again to leave NATO. I say, fine – we’re already organizing new alliances so go pound sand, USA.
