We could learn a bunch from Ukraine if Comrade Trump wasn't half Russian.

Are you about to go MAGA in your old age? I expected more from you, frankly.

Ukraine definitely deserves more help.

Yes, well that's because this is the Trump era.🤑😠

The EU actively involved in the Ukraine vs. Russia war? What if Russia & China, instead of just military aid, sent battle ships to the Strait of Hormuz? Wouldn't that get us closer to a world-wide catastrophe?

Are you for real bro? Yep, two world wars and the US was late to both. If it wasn't for European support, Ukraine would be struggling! The US is unreliable, untrustworthy and in many ways a pariah because incompetent fools are more worried about vanity and testosterone.

This must rate as on of the most stupid posts I have ever seen.

Blame the greedy, grifter, pedo, crazy, American President for all of this. Not freakin Europe. Please.

Leadership matters. Voting matters.

Really??

Hehe. It is not in your country's interest for Europe to develop the sort of armed sovereignty you imply. Thank you very much for this post though. I hope and believe we will now build it. Mostly thanks to Trumpism. People tasked to maintain your empire are cursing you.

Oralè

Well you see we stopped starting wars every 5 years like you guys, so we kind of got out of the habbit, but we might be back now and I am not sure you are not going to like it any better then the last time

Which has forced Ukraine to send Russia's entire petroleum industry into the atmosphere all at once. I never want to hear the words "climate change" again...especially from Europeans.

Makes you wonder why Europe isn’t doing more when it’s their own back yard.

Personally, I don't think that most of Europe believes it is in jeopardy. Or they are hoping that Putin will stop with Ukraine and not continue looking west. Even after Germany annexed Austria, rest of Europe didn't get involved.

Yup! I feel the same way about my homeland (Canada). I think we ended up with a better democracy than the US today - and we did not even need a revolution! 🇨🇦🇪🇺

We’re too busy bombing fishing boats.

And btw, Europe is no longer sharing Intelligence with the US... due to it's Russian-supporting President. So we don't know wtf is going on behind the scenes.

A 3rd rate Mililary who commits War Crimes and runs its people into a human meat grinder with no compunction. It's not like fighting an equal, it's a rabid dog.

This is absolutely correct. EU has been far too dependent upon purchasing USA munitions ie Patriot systems and its related missiles, to appease the USA government for being the dominant nato force. Similar shit as Canada’s dependence on USA as a partner and recipient of 70% of CDN exports. No more.

Yes. But this is only a part of it

This is the quality of the BA program in Political Science at Illinois State University?!??

Exactly

Never forget. WE - US wanted to neuter Germany after a 2nd WW. And we did. And 3 generations of Germans said OK, if U.S. will protect us, that’s fine. So we expect them to have a military like 1939? Nope.

Politicians are more easily bought than 80 yrs ago.

Nuclear weapons in the hands of authoritarian leaders are an excellent deterrent. Didn’t exist until we bombed Japan. Which European capital should they be willing to sacrifice?

Neither could we at this point.

It may be advisable to take that post down and think about it again. Wrong on numerous levels.

He's a Republican; they're alergic to facts.

You have trouble with the truth. Compare GNP with Russia. Europe has done the minimum definitely not the maximum.🫣

I don't think he understands that Hitler started his fascist journey upon return from THE USA. Kinzinger is a fucking idiot of massive proportions.

A very disappointing comment from you sir. I expected better.

Thanks! 👍

I know. No victory gardens to be found, no Rosie the Riveter, no coming together as a people.

Right now we're looking like the feckless paper tiger.

Hey, we are country of marketing and pr. Just talk it. don’t walk it.

Weapons companies are making a LOT of money though! Since they make their money off of destroying stuff and death...they don't give a fuck.

For those not wanting to click the link: Since Q1 2022 to Q1 2026, European aid has exceeded US aid in all but three quarters. Total now is 205 vs 115 billion euros.

No. He’s a fucking gop prick

Adam. Look. You cavorted with fellow republicans your entire adult life. And now? You get on here and bitch about everything wrong with the world. smgdh

we did incentivize that?

It's amazing to me, that you've forgotten the US promise of security in exchange for giving up the Nukes, but you've a bawbag in charge who favours Russia for the win. Are you taking over from Lindsay as the warmonger in chief?

Typically ignorant American take.

Nothing is what it seems when a Trump is involved.

Ridiculously bad take, Adam. It's so far off that it's hard to know where to start.

Blaming Europe is 100% Trump and Putin propaganda. Don’t fall for it please

This European contrast reveals how easy it is for evil to flourish yet goodness involves significant effort to move away from the very comforts goodness needs to defend. 😠

I think it is because we wanted to be the toughest kid on the block we didn’t want a stronger Europe., cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/08/the-...

Leadership matters

But why exactly did you think I might have been trolling you? I wrote exactly what I believe is true.

Sure, Trump's a Russian asset. Either directly or as useful idiot, but he hasn't always been president (although he might want to remain as such until he dies and possibly even after).

He will always be a Republican.

Exactly THIS

@adamkinzinger.substack.com oh Adam. Please PLEASE correct me on this

Please learn European.

1. ‘Country’ (Germany) not ‘Continent’ 2. Since being late to the first 2 world wars, America has gone out of its way to make sure it is front and centre for starting the 3rd!

The motherfucker!

I suggest anyone following this prick unfollow immediately

Sorry but fuck off. That’s a disgusting thing to say. You know perfectly what the post WWII settlement was. The fact your prick of a president has just blown your entire arsenal against Iran AND LOST. I had respect for you. No longer. Once a GOP. Always.

I don’t think the Democratic West could envision the depth of Trump’s Putin love and disdain for NATO alliance. The cognitive dissonance is overwhelming.

We pretty much wanted things that way. Look at Japan.

Ukraine must be admitted to NATO immediately. this would force a lot of critical issues. not the time to be timid.

What an utterly informed take. Literally everyday one nation in Europe or allies is sending aid and arms package. Perhaps you should call out the agents working for our rivals in the administration.

Ukraine should have kept their nukes.

This situation is the direct result of USA. Since WW2, USA wanted Europe this way. Until in 2025 you didn't. NATO was created to keep USA in Europe, USSR out, & Germany down. But sure, blame others for not reacting fast enough to USA fucking over the world & back-stabbing all her former allies.

I agree. However, we will likely reach a point where we decide on a common EU military force. At the very least, we have begun rearming. And we obviously prefer European or Canadian equipment.

what???you are losing me Adam

It perhaps has something to do with the wars. And with being high on American security. Withdrawal syndrome is painful but we'll get through. I see a path for getting better for us. Not for the US though.

DUDE, people in glass houses and all that!!!!!

I think underestimating your enemy is exactly what putin wants you to do. They are a pretty powerful army, it is just the world underestimated Ukrainians even more prior to 2022. There is a reason Ukrainians and Russians together defeated Hitler. Unfortunately now Russia has a Hitler of its own.

Weird, though. I thought he was one of the good guys.

first time you ever sounded like one of those americans. good day to you.

europe like south asia, is not a continent. not even a debate like pluto as a planet. eurasia is the continent. europe is a region.

The third rate military is nuclear armed, asshole.

I know it’s not a unified army (yet), but EU (+UK) can field around 3.3 million trained soldiers. That should be enough for any threat. And it should be enough for a joint task force of at least 50,000.

Hear, hear! Arctic Fox! 🇪🇺👊

How you doing on Iran champ? 🙄

Well, we didn't ever think we would have a Putin-loving cunt as US President, Adam. Winning bigly in Iran yet?

That's because at this point, the u s army is kind of up in the air.They don't know what the hell they're doing, or who's in charge

And must I remind you that a lot of these European countries also sent men and women to fight alongside America in Iraq and Afghanistan. at great political cost to their leaders (Tony Blair in the UK for example)

@adamkinzinger.substack.com appears to enjoy sparking discussion and exiting the room, reminiscent of Chandler inciting the group to arguing so he could smoke in peace

Come on! You can do better than just casually trashing European allies for relying too much on NATO. It might have been a wrong decision in a hindsight, but did they really ever consider the epic betrayal by their key ally, US?

It's also a shame they have a shitty ally in this American administration.

Do you think it might of helped if the US abided by its commitment to protect Ukraine after they surrendered all their nuclear arms after the 91 agreement. Sorry I forgot you can’t take the US’s words. With them it’s not worth the paper it’s written on.

Europe definitely could, they just continue to choose not to.

I appreciate your take on many things, Adam, but this is just a stupid take, especially when we're getting our asses kicked by Iran.

You're right, Europe does need to stop buying US weapons and develop it's own industry until it ultimately surpasses the US arms companies, just as it did with cars and commercial aircraft.

It's amazing to me that the country that gave more instability to the world can barely help their allies against RUSSIA, your old time enemy which have nuclear weapons. Bye

why don't you call some of your USArmy buddies who've trained alongside British (or Swedish, or Finnish, etc.) troops, and see whether they think those are "functional armies". Meanwhile the US military wastes all its energies blowing up Iranian schools and Latino fishermen.

Adam, you can fuck all the way off with that nonsense. Other commenters have made the points I would here, so I won't repeat them, but when you sober up, I hope you will be apologizing for your misleading assertion of history and glossing over the US failure to meet its commitments and obligations.

🧵3/3 also in the military, remember how Europe/NATO was always told to buy US weapons for compatibility reasons. They did & got stuck with less productive military weapons productions. Now they get away from that mantra bc they know that we are no longer reliable Your post is another proof of it.

I seem to remember a guarantee given by the US so Ukraine would give up nukes. FFS any memory of this Adam or have you forgotten? If Ukraine had nukes don’t think Russia would have continued?

I'm a Finn. And i agree with you two. This is so fucking embarrasing.

Probably your dumbest post. Shame on you Adam. You're better than this.

not only that, but is having issues with Iran's third-rate military

They're not fighting the USA, my guy. Oh, you mean Russia, my bad. That's a different third rate army. ...and seeing as the country you're so proud of supplied the Nazis during WWII, and joined both world wars last I'd maybe shut my lips and open a goddamned book.

Dude, they don't have massive economic input from exploited colonies anymore. 🤷 And they are worried about themselves. Poland and the Baltic nations are experiencing probing incursions.

Because they depended on the United States for defense too much and the U.S. flipped the script on them in an instant? That is my guess.

#30million8/30 The GOP defines moral turpitude not moral fortitude. They have declined to a state of pure supremacy, denying pluralism and egalitarianism. They are attempting to install a hegemonistic nationalist state with authoritarian style governance. RISE UP! OVERTHROW! END FASCISM!

With ukraine between it n russia

I'm thinking the same thing. This is not really Adam. 😉

Wtaf? Are you whamming against Europe? Who has been doing more than USA, especially under Trump, but also while Biden etc was slowing delivery of weapons down?

Since America totally reneged on our promises to Ukraine, I dont think we can throw stones.
