Then since you don’t put nothing in the plate.
FUCK OFF MY COUNTRY.
As you would say in the States Europe First.
Why would we host US missile on our soil that we don’t control and would absorb part of the Russian Nukes in case of NATO ( that’s just dead with this statement ) war and Radar that control every square cm of the continent.
TLDR. FUCK OFF
Edit. As some other user pointed the protection is not completely off but this don’t change the fact that less commitment with the allies defence should be equivalent to less privilege to the USA. And I removed the slur

US nukes + partial US troops + EU is more than enough to defend European NATO countries.
Remember, Ukraine by itself with western weapons is kicking Russia’s ass right now.

So if Putin turns on trump . And America needs help. Do the Europeans just continue and not bother to help. American has turned out to be a true ally. I hope they all remember this.

The US won’t bother defending anyone anymore. In fact they’ll attack previous allied nations as they see fit.

The amount of power the US has given up because of Putin’s meddling and short-sightedness is staggering. It is such an incredibly stupid move.

Considering the slapping that Ukraine has given Russia, attacking a member of the European Union or NATO would be the end of Putin and Russia. German Leopards, French Le Clercs, and U.K. Challenger IIs would finish the scrapping of Putin’s armored forces. The Russians are using a Cold War army, against a modern armed force, they are outmatched.

I guess its just time for Europa to rely on themself and trustworthy allies, like canada. You cant trust he US anymore and we dont need to talk about russia. And the european authorities realize that, start to concentrate on our own military etc., also the public started to concentrate more on their separation, on european products.
So, longterm, it could be pretty positive for europe and strengthen europe alot, while it rested way to long on an ally like the US.

If we Europeans severely limit the money pouring into the US defence industry, they will eventually put a president in place to undo the damage. As some orange man would say “it would be the most amazing thing, like you be never seen before”

It just look each day even less credible that Trump would ever allow those german f35/tornado to ever drop a nuke on Russia.

No one will bother defending Europe, the Europe will. USAians often sell their involvement in WW2 as a gesture to Europeans but it was not. They were happily selling weapons and benefitting from the war economy until Pearl Harbor, they join the war because they were bitten. Otherwise we wouldn’t see them at all. Same goes for Russians. Stalin and Hitler were allies until Hitler decided to attack them. They didnt save anyone but themselves, and continue shitting on people that they claim to liberate.

So the memo basically says that, in the event of a conflict with China, America should prioritize committing conventional resources for the bigger threat. Russia is clearly not a bigger threat than China.
You aren’t the center of the world Europe. We have concerns elsewhere. We have territory in the pacific that isn’t covered under NATO and allies in the region that we also have defense agreements with. Why should we prioritize you over them or our own people?

The headline is hyperbolic.
If you read the Washington Post article, that’s not what the memo says.
It says there will be a shift in burden sharing, not a complete cut-off of support.
