      As an American don’t weigh it fucking do it were kinda losing our minds over here

      As America talks about military action against a NATO partner and EU member (OCT), Europe must take over all US bases in Europe and fully undertake its own defense. There is no reason to allow a hostile nation to host its troops in the EU.

      Further, EU needs to ween itself off of US military suppliers. They can stick to NATO standards, but the money they spend on arms and supplies should be ~~sent~~ spent in the EU to companies which are not allowed to have financial relationships with US firms. EU military supplies should not possibly be held hostage or restricted by US government (Trump) decisions.

      It will be expensive and take time, but a fully self-sufficient and independent Europe is better for the world. That includes the US – Europe will be better able to stand on its own (not relying on the US) and better able to respond to US NATO article 5 activations.

      Trump has been calling on Europe to stop relying on the US so it should be simple to ask him to leave the military basses. How can he get upset when they are doing what he says/wants.

      They should. An ally is only an ally when you can rely on them. Let’s see how military recruiting goes when Germany, England, Spain and others are no longer duty assignments. Let’s see how many want to spend an entire enlistment at Ft Polk, Minot AFB or Adak, AK.

      I say this as an American.

      Europe needs to shit or get off the pot on this. Our government *does not like you*, wants you to be right wing like us, and wants Russia to do what it wants with you.

      Fucking get to it guys. You are running out of time.

      Any room for England…. 51% of us were wrong, stupid or racist. But most (some) have learnt! Also you can send farage to Russia, we’re cool with that

      It will likely face the same problems that NATO is facing now, when one of those European countries elected leader/party that doesn’t have a similar enough belief system as them. I think it would be better for countries to be closer together militarily, but not be so close that one country could bring the whole thing down

      All Europe has been doing for the past how many decades is “weighing options”. That’s why they’re in the position of no influence today.

      This continues to fall apart the moment anyone speaks of details.

      The first step is to get a nato style command for just Europe and work from there.

    20. AlphaGoBravo on

      Well Putnik hopes that Europe gets bogged down with “legalities” while he expands his territories.

    22. Wild_Pangolin_4772 on

      It’s about time.

      It shouldn’t even take a menace like Trump to make them decide to watch their own ass.

    23. m0rbius on

      Europe needs to get their shit in order because the days of the US having their backs is over. Trump most definitely can’t be trusted to help keep order in the world. He’s doing his own thing.

    24. Chance_Warthog_9389 on

      What you need to do is ban twitter/x, Meta, tiktok, all the shit owned by Rupert Murdoch, and have your own online troll armies because there’s no actual way to beat the Russians at it other than fighting fire with fire. Do this before you become like America.

      Reading about EU leaders deliberating a defensive force  is like reading about the Ents deliberating an assault on Isengard while the forest is already burning around them…

    28. Other-Gold9168 on

      Europe is spineless. They aren’t going to do anything of consequence. They’ll probably negotiate and concede something to make trump go away.

      >Nato is running short of attack aircraft for its bombing campaign against Muammar Gaddafi only days after taking command of the Libyan mission from a coalition led by the US, [France](https://www.theguardian.com/world/france) and Britain.

      >Less than a month into the Libyan conflict, NATO is running short of precision bombs , highlighting the limitations of Britain, France and other European countries in sustaining even a relatively small military action over an extended period of time, according to senior NATO and U.S. officials.

      Shocked that the weaknesses exposed during the Libya campaign didn’t motivate them to make moves
