I guess we don’t have to pay this anymore, right

We should start to push for and spread on media “USA is to big for us Americans, we want to break it up into smaller independent countries” spread the word.

The last few years have really made me test my thoughts on Europe and the future of Europe. I’m deeply disappointed in our so called “leaders” response to Russian aggression and now the whole Greenland affair. The complete stasis and absolute inertia to do anything significant is deeply pathetic. [We’re just happy to let Greenland go and join Trump in a Compact of Free Association Agreement so that he gets unrestricted access to all the rare earth minerals](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8OvuRPeYgk&ab_channel=CNBC) used in the production of technology whether military or otherwise – they should be OUR minerals!

It’s really made me question the vision for Europe. Maybe the Draghi Report was right and Europe is in decline. Since the 1970s Europe has not created a single solitary company with a market cap of 100 Billion – in that same timeframe America has created several trillion dollar companies – Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Berkshire Hathaway, Meta, Amazon, Nvidia etc etc

In 2008 when Barrack Obama was elected President the Eurozone economy was the same size as the American economy. Today, the American economy is almost twice as large as the Eurozone economy. That’s the mathematics of it. Anything to the contrary is merely an emotional response – not a scientific one. China has overtaken us as the second largest economy in the world. Perhaps our best days are behind us because we will never be able to project outward a sign of strength in the world if we don’t federalise. All those great leaders throughout the centuries in Europe…..where are you all now?! We need you more than ever.

Generals must be squirming now… Pulling out of Europe means the US will lose a lot of capacity to project power in africa, middle east and asia.

He’s gonna need troops to…liberate Greenland and the Panama Canal.

And tbh, Europe needs its own armies and to stop relying on Americans so much. Trump is right on this thing.

I am kind of glad they leave voluntarily. It would have been a bother to make them leave when Trump attacks Greenland and Nato implodes.

Over the last 3-4 years I was somewhat uneasy about but ultimately supported the high military spending plans of the last 2 Polish governments. Seeing headlines like these makes me think we made the right call after all.

These troops are the ones that are in the eastern European countries on a rotational basis that started around 2016; not ones that are permanently stationed in western Europe.

Lithuania and Estonia has said they will pledge 5% towards defense right after this was announced.

Can we start stationing European troops in Greenland pretty pls.

This is history repeating itself. It is the normal evolution at the end of an empire era. History saw French big business evolve from supporting the empire before World War I to seeing it as a waste of money by the 1950s, largely due to its falling importance in world trade. The 1950s were also critical years in economic decolonization for Britain’s trading interest as they shifted away from the empire-Commonwealth. USA is evolving through the same as it slows in economic relevance on the global stage, losing ground to the likes of China who is building an economic empire witnessed with “one belt one road”

Yeah 20k troops really isn’t that much, and we constantly rotate troops in and out of europe… Thats not the biggest news trump has done o.o

Good riddance!

I think its a perfect incentive for EU to replace US troops with their own. We need to rebuild our military anyways so it’s better to spend on our own than on USA troops.
