This has been the plan all along, for years. To make America (and Russia) great again, they had to make Europe weak.
And they started this many, many years ago, eroding trust, infiltrating the highest state ranks, encouraging corruption and terror, swaying elections, destroying unity, seeding doubt and fearmongering.
2 powers who can only grow on other’s misfortune and wars are now shaking hands above our heads. One backstabs, while the other prepares to pounce.
They are not even bothering to hide it anymore.
We must unite and defend.

Drop the dollar…. remove its federated status and federate currency in EU (super Euro)…
I’m done with US – I hope you get everything you so richly deserve

OK, great.
It’s better that it happens, because EU leaders are still under the illusion that the USA is an ally.
Let’s rub it to their face that it’s not.

The sooner the better, just get it over and done with and let Europe and Canada build a new NATO without the US.

So we all expect that Trump will get at least 2/3 backing in the American Congress ( both the Senate and the House of Representatives) to pull the US out of NATO or that all other NATO members just quit?

Does anyone believe that if today Russia attacks any NATO members US would honor the alliance?
Bloomhunger on
Even if not, can anyone simply trust the US anymore, before a change of leadership?
But we don’t need blind spending in defense. We need to focus on deterrence above all.
Nukes and multiple methods of delivery, all across the continent (do we trust Le Pen more than Trump? What about the next person?)
Other unconventional weapons. Harder to sell, but alternatives to nukes would be good.
Besides that, it’s extremely important to focus on:
Drones. They are the future.
Cyberwarfare.
Satellite communications.

It is not the end of alliance, it is the withdrawal of USA.
There are still two nuclear countries there (UK & France), there is a significant non-nuclear army (Turkey) and there is a mighty country willing to join (Ukraine).

If they’re gonna do it, now is a good time. Russia is weak. Not sure that the us will leave actually. They would lose a ton of defense contracts and Trump cares (only) about money and his ego.

America pulling out of NATO would not be the “end” of NATO. France and the UK are still nuclear armed states.
Article 5 would still unleash the combined might of 31 nations, including countries like Finland, Sweden and Poland, all of whom are countries you do not f**k around with, and countries like France, Germany and UK, who have some of the best defence contractors in the world, and the EU’s combined economy is a behemoth.
The only nation that can match that alone is the US.
NATO would not be dead. Weaker? Absolutely, and massively so. But dead? No.
If the US pulled out of NATO, it would be the final nail in the coffin that Europe, UK and Canada no longer needs to follow the US’ lead. And let’s not forget, the two recent conflicts prior to Ukraine, that NATO countries got directly involved in, Iraq and Afghanistan, were to serve American goals and policy…

We should be kicking them out and it shouldn’t be them deciding they can leave. Trump threatened Denmark (Greenland) and Canada with invasion. That should have had immediate repercussions.

Its a lost cause. If there ever will be a change in administration again, US would have to rewrite law and constitution as its clear now current checks and ballance is not working to protect democracy.

When Biden was president i was 90% sure they would. 20 Jan. came along and Trump became President, that dropped to 50% and for the past 2-3 weeks that dropped to 0%. When Trump said that he would even encourage Putin to do what ever i wants, i take that seriously.
Bravo Trump, you just destroyed the biggest military alliance we spent building for the past 76 years, in just 2 weeks. What ever happens to the USA, they deserve it. People voted for that, fuck them

I made the mistake of reading the comments. Full of people celebrating it, wanting the UK to make a special deal with the US and not join the rest of us, and just generally bashing Germany.
That’s all part of the plan too. Drive a wedge between the UK and the rest of Europe to weaken us all. There’s a reason ghouls like Musk love Brexit. Right now they are using tariffs and fear or war to push the UK to submit to the US and abandon European alliances.
Next step of weakening Europe is to drive its countries apart. Don’t think it stops with the US leaving NATO, oh no.

Europe need to be taking this hybrid war a little more fucking seriously. Bots have flooded every corner of the internet pushing disinformation, confusion and distraction. They need to combat this at the same scale as Russia and China. Europe is 20 fucking years behind on this and they’ll be playing catch up. A million bots making comments all day long for 20 years does a lot of damage to democracy and EU leaders don’t get it. They’re arrogant. They don’t see how the damage adds up and they have diverted funs and built a program to defend democracy. And now the world is in the situation we are in.

Seeing as how Elon just has to [make a tweet](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/0TMSQP8-knc) while on a Ketamine high at 4 AM to make all the Republicans on Congress to back down on even nearly unanimous decisions right before the vote takes place, yeah. It does seem that way.
But they’ll be ‘free’ from us ‘freeloaders’ I guess, so no problem even if these decisions come from a guy who isn’t even American, was not elected and is controlling from behind the elected puppets – and even said puppets I’m not convinced were ‘fairly elected’, given current affairs.
I guess it’s for the best of everyone involved… Truly irredeemable.
Lennyleonard_ on
I feel this is misleading. NATO will survive, but it will survive without America. Right now Russia is on its arse, it’s army is depleted and exhausted so we in Europe are not at risk until Russia can rearm so we have time to organise. A worry that I have is if Trump gets his generals appointment to key positions that America would actually be a threat to us if the orangutan gets butthurt over something.

Savage-September on
The alliance will continue to exist it will just be without America. They are cowards running from a fight. They have benefited the most out of this arrangement and we should have never given them all of the best parts of NATO. Going forward we will need to change how NATO will work ensuring that no country can ever run a protection racket against us. No country shall have this much power. The creators of NATO never intended for so much power to be awarded to one single state. For decades we have spent trillions on American made weapons, software and other equipment. They have profited highly and now they turn the guns on us and side with the enemy we were fighting againts. We have allowed them access into our continent to set up bases and patrol our waters, we have joined them on their neo-colonial conquests in the Middle East, even when it brought blowback on us. We are now left to deal with the rise of radical Islam and Islamophobia because of American greed for world dominance. NATO has to change and we must seek to limit the powers of countries to prevent them from blackmailing us into their will. Never again.
