Europe is at a crossroads, does it remain under American “control” or does it become independent. It’s clear that America is no longer committed to NATO’s article 5

Americans are in effect supporting Russia. Leadership across all sectors - political, judiciary, business, military and the rest are doing next to nothing to challenge Trump and his support for Russia. Just going along with it. And where are the mass demonstrations and resistance?

The media refuses to report them to appease Trump but they are happening. Yesterday there were more than ten thousand New Yorkers protesting ICE.

Interesting. There was me thinking Ukraine was helping the US with drone technology in their endless war with Iran. Maybe they shouldn't. It's all bluster; the US needs the money.

Am I missing something? "Could stop paid-for weapons shipments to Ukraine". Didn't they stop them months ago? There's no real prospect of them restarting this decade.

Through the PURL scheme... My understanding was that the US had halted shipments because they had run low themselves due to Iran. Lots of money had been sent but the goods were not turning up. See also Switzerland - 5+ year delay. www.defensenews.com/global/europ...

The US will take the money and keep the weapons for themselves. It was obvious from the start and just delayed Europe replacing the US as they need to do. 2 more years of Trump and thanks to Republicans a worthless Congress and Senate. Then who knows who will be next or if they're any better

And all this only to lower fuel prices in the US so he has a bigger change on a majority in the mid-terms…… The whole world should attack him, put huge tariffs on all US products, should refuse all MAGA politicians to travel outside the US and should block each US dollar in the EU!!!

Fcuk Trump. I hope he is not allowed to ruin, or stop, or cheat at the upcoming elections. He has already destroyed America. Its the world next, if he isn't stopped.
