>USA Withdraws from Planning of New Military Exercises in Europe
>The United States has informed its allies that it intends to halt its participation in the planning of upcoming military exercises in Europe, according to sources from Expressen.
>Several exercises in Sweden will be affected by this decision.
>Information remains scarce, but the decision concerns exercises in which the U.S. plays a crucial role in the overall training operations in Europe and, ultimately, in the defense of the European continent.
>According to Expressen’s sources, the halt in American planning does not apply to already scheduled exercises set to take place in 2025.
>“This concerns exercises that are currently on the ‘drawing board,’ meaning those planned for further in the future,” one of Expressen’s sources said.
>If this decision holds, Sweden and other NATO countries will have to plan exercises without U.S. participation or with only small American units involved.
>From the U.S. side, there is a desire to reduce military expenditures in Europe and allocate resources elsewhere. Trump has expressed his intent to prioritize the Indo-Pacific region, primarily to counter China.
>This stark signal from across the Atlantic is the latest indication of an expected decrease in American engagement in Europe.
>American participation in military exercises has been a frequent occurrence in Sweden long before the country joined NATO.
>The U.S. has shown particular interest in training in winter environments, but it has also participated in major, high-profile exercises and logistical operations, including troop movements—such as transporting forces by train from Narvik to Haparanda.
>The American halt in planning is news to former lieutenant colonel Joakim Paasikivi.
>“If this is true, it aligns with reports that the Pentagon does not intend to allocate more funding to European Command, African Command, and Central Command—that is, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.”
>Paasikivi says there is an American rationale behind this decision.
>“If this is accurate—which is not unlikely, given that they have spoken about reduced engagement and a focus on Indo-Pacific Command—it logically follows that they will not invest as much effort, time, and money in training in Europe.”
>Harder to Fight Together
According to Paasikivi, reduced U.S. military training in Europe will have direct consequences.
>“This naturally lowers the conditions for conducting joint operations with the Americans.”
>How important are joint exercises?
>“Exercises serve two purposes. First, they provide training in relevant terrain, typically involving snow, cold, wet, and challenging conditions. Second, they allow forces to get to know each other, which is just as important. It’s not just about shared methods but about mutual understanding. If you don’t train together, the ability to be effective in combat decreases.”
>Strong U.S. Interest in Sweden
>Paasikivi notes that there has been significant American interest in Sweden and Finland, as well as long-standing cooperation with the U.S. Marine Corps in Norway, where several hundred U.S. soldiers were previously stationed.
>In the summer of 2024, Defense Minister Pål Jonson signed a declaration of intent regarding cooperation between Sweden and the U.S. state of New York. The partnership involves Sweden’s Armed Forces and the New York National Guard within the framework of the U.S. State Partnership Program (SPP).
>“We will see what happens with the agreement and the exchange with the U.S. National Guard. That will be a clear indicator,” says Joakim Paasikivi.
This whole thing will be in history book as the biggest betrayal in modern history.
fucking kill me
Yeah, don’t mind all that indo Pacific nonsense as soon as them troops are back they’re going to Greenland
Does this mean we have to stop continually beating them in war games?
Forget the USA. Trere is simply no point in having any kind of cooperation with them. The sooner European leaders realize this and start working together and arming Europe the better.
See ya 👋
US just squandered 80 years of global influence and power in a week.
> If this decision holds, Sweden and other NATO countries will have to plan exercises without U.S.
That doesn’t sound bad. Training on how to operate without the US seems very useful.
Hollywood is going to have to start changing their movies and TV shows, I just watched ‘The Recruit’ and the navy said they loved scaring the Russians. In the next few months they’ll have to start showing them hug each other instead. Fucking sickening.
Traitor trump
European army. Without Putin’s friends.
Good – now kick them out of Europe ASAP
It is vitally important that Europe, the Baltics, Canada and all other countries make it clear that the US has abandoned them. This can’t be allowed to be a win win for Trump. He and his cronies will spin it saying, it was our withdrawal that forced Europe to re-arm blah blah blah. Europe needs to now stand up, re-arm and make it clear to the states that there is no easy way back for them. They abandoned us
Did Putin write a wish list or something.
Nero sang and danced when Rome burned, Trump is ranting while America falls.
I feel for US military personnel, in the space of weeks every career expectation destroyed, if anything other than white male probably ended, and to turn to allies, while living in country, trying to explain this…
Well, Blame Orange Buffon and his republican Yes men its not armed froces fault!
it’s a continuation of his politics to Poland. remember how he treated polish president?
I hate this guy so fucking much.
When you have a bunch of mental patients running a country, don’t count on them. We’re on our own and we can do it. Hope the American people finds out pretty soon. In the country with most guns pr. citizen I am pretty surprised, that they don’t have solved their problem yet. Get a move on that task people!!!
r/buyfromeu
Wow, he really is undoing decades of hard work keeping an alliance going between our countries
Even if the he doesn’t declare war on, or invade Greenland, Canada or Panama, even after 4 years, it will take decades to repair the damage he’s done and is doing.
What a tool.
He wants to be remembered, I hear? Very well, history will remember him as Donald the Dismantler.
I wonder what all the generals and admirals are all thinking right now in the US military.
Lol, imagine how Sweden and Finland feels. Just joined NATO after so many years on the fence, and now it all fizzles out…
See you guys in the greenland trenches fighting the American facists.
I’m getting really tired of him picking fights with everybody. I want to wake up one morning and not hear about another global crisis caused by this guy
Good. Now training can be done with partners that aren’t traitors.
We are lucky Trump showed his true face now and not when the big day comes.
It’s a good thing. Europe needs to conduct a European exercise and learn to work together without the USA in the middle. Worst time to find out where the problems are is during a shooting.
Putin’s bullet point “to do” list ✅🗯️
Cant trust a country with a voting system that gives one person so much power that he can do a 180° , while the people stay silent, watching the rise of their first king.
I’m honestly trying to think of something – anything – that they can gain from the way they’re behaving. I honestly can’t. Theyre sending their economy down the shitter , alienating every ally they have (even Israel is like wtf ?) and are sucking up to Russia.
What do they get from this insanity other than becoming a rogue state hated across the world ?
And so it begins, the death of an alliance and Putins’s wet dream.
There’s no fucking way the dude doesn’t work for the Kremlin.
Like, what would be an actual, sensible reason for all of this? None of this does the United States any good whatsoever, even if you’re a braindead R you have to see that, right?
Other than the F-35, Europe needs to stop all purchases of new weapons and immediately go for domestically produced ones.
Our ground-to-air weapons are very good, and we need to develop a system comparable to AEGIS.
Our fighter jets need drastic development, though. Especially when it comes to stealth.
I’m tired of coming across 100 different articles every day about this shitstain everywhere I go on the fucking internet.
I never thought we’d go from “Kill a Commie for Christ” Rednecks to “Slobber on Putin’s Knob” Rednecks, but here we are.
