Ich habe versucht, den Trick aus dem Video zu wiederholen, und jetzt habe ich einen neuen Rekord: eine Vase zerbrechen und lachen, bis ich weine😘
is he a natural blonde and a sterotype?
No one in America wants tax dollars wasted on Europe. Why are we there in the first place.
Distraction from stock manipulation, IRS slush fund, torture allegations out of Israel, and very disturbing revelations from the Epstein files.
Madman’s gonna do what’s he’s gonna do, at what point do we finally walk away and wash our hands of it
How about we decline more Americans in Europe? Just to see the surprise on the orange face ^^
I give and I take away according to my whim… I'm king of the world
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😂😂😂😂
Just flatter him, talk about how much better he is than sleepy Joe Biden and he will be an ally.
Poland gets invaded a lot they need a moral boost from us baby USA 🇺🇸 we lead the way clear through the smoke and fog the flag waves high n proud
All it's because China kicked his a**😂😂😂
Poland must not squander this opportunity and must complete its self-reliant national defense. The Yankees must pay Poland money for base usage fees.
We need to change the rug that serves are the Nato chief. Rutte has been a freaking disgrace up until now and we really need some change.
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.
TACO
He just pulled 4k troops from Poland, so he needs to send 9k back now if my math is right?
When Putin should decide to cause trouble in Europe … I don't think US troops will come out of their barracks anymore ….. totally unreliable !!!
Nawrocki is the worse president blocking our attempts to get more independent from the US and i hope he will be gone soon
(TACO+TACO) x TACO = 5.000 soldiers
In two weeks. That is when Poland will get its troops…in two weeks….
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.
Ok. What does Trump want from Poland now?
The guy who is absolutely transactional doesn't do anything unless he's getting something out of it
It would be fun if Poland told them they need to get visa, which of course they take a long time to process.
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.
President Donald J. Trump 👍🇺🇲👍
JD Vance 👍🇺🇲👍
Pete Hegseth 👍🇺🇲👍
Marco Rubio 👍🇺🇲👍
You can't believe a damn thing that comes out of the mouths of US politicians. They are all corrupt. It is just the arrogance of Trump that has exposed it.
It's more prudent for the Europeans to build up their armed forces and reduce their reliance on the United States.
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.
It is sad that so much of the world is dependant upon the crooks that administer the US. I am sure it is coming to an end.
Benjamin and guests cover serious ground with this work,very fulfilling and edifying.
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.
Yes, its time for NATO to grow up to be led by EU and not by US
Just kick the US military out ohh my goodness.
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?
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 😂
Moving troops in and out of places, with the costs implied, because why not? I guess it depends on the 🍊 🎺's bowel movements of the day. 🤷🏻
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.
Netflix, Disney and Amazon has a New serie, THE CIRCUS IN THE WHITE HOUSE 🤡
The change is only what China said to Trump about the America is a declining power😂
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.
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.
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.
Little Marco doesn't take questions – maybe he's afraid to answer why he was in Hungary to support Orban..?
Don't even put any thought into Trump's saying he will put another 5000 troupes into Poland. You can't take anything he says seriously.
Trump is desperately trying to clawback some semblance of normality…….TFL. He will be in a jail of one form or another within 6 months
