  1. What don't you weak European countries understand? You are with America or not. TRUMP told you 100% what we want. You weak European countries don't do it, we will be gone. Easy LOL😂😂😂😂

  2. ally, means mutually and equally supporting. Why Poland has no troops stationing in the US and protect the US? so this is the relationship between mastery country providing protection and the fellow country being protected.

  3. Why even train and equip those troops if there's no rhyme or reason to where they go? At this point, I expect them next month to be guarding the Sudan-Chad border like it's a HoI4 AI directing them.

  4. Europeans are going to ask Americans to vacate Europe in 5-10 years.
    If US prestige is sinking, so is Russia's. They're both losing wars.
    Russia is hardly a threat to Europe.
    Europeans will build their own forces. It doesn't even matter if they're badly integrated.

    Furthermore, who knows? Trump will be gone. Putin will be gone.
    5-10 years from now things will be radically different.

  5. Is it realistic to expect that the EU can survive if they continue burden shifting the cost of defense to their eastern flank because they have the misfortune to live next to the aggressor? How long before the internal tensions between let’s say Spain and Poland cause deep rifts in the EU system that requires unanimity to function. After Polands magnificent response to the tragedy in Ukraine accompanied by Finland and the Baltic States they have made it clear for now that they should not be thrown out with the bathwater. Whether they will tolerate their allies in the EU economically abusing them long term is doubtful and by their refusal to undertake the measures needed to be competitive and share the burden jointly plays directly into Putin’s hands by destabilization the EU.

  6. I think Poland's reactions is purely political. Pity they don't have the balls to tell Trump to stuff his troops where they will be uncomfortable in spite of the enormity of it.

  7. This caught us totally by surprise in Poland. We're just discussing the expected U.S. troop reductions, but now it feels like we're being treated as pawns by this chaotic administration. Based on Nawrocki win? He's a president for a year now, does homing pigeon with that news finally reached Washington?

  8. It is clear enough to me that Trump doesn’t like what Germany has done. The Germany pretends to be innocent and shape what is going on as confusion 😂

  9. I think Poland would improve their standing with the US after the Trump administration, if they told Trump to get lost. The US is currently totally undependable.

  10. Every country should stand on their own feet. If they depend upon another country they should become a part of that country. You can't claim sovereignty if you can't look after yourselves.

  11. Trump and his cabinet will be resoundingly defeated in upcoming elections., both Mid-Term and Presidential. Common sense will prevail again. All of this fuss is temporary. New administration will embrace allies in Europe.

  12. Its because trump and the Polish leader are politically and idealogically aligned. Both nationalistic, and both from the far-right, unlike Germany. This tracks with his actions in the US as well. He only supports those who are loyal to him. Nato shouldnt be celebrating. Rutte is in his pocket.
