The worst-case scenario is now a possible one: European troops fighting off an invasion largely alone.
It’s by no means clear the Europeans would succeed. Romanian and other European officials at the exercise in Cincu, about 260 kilometers (162 miles) north of Bucharest by road, voiced concerns about how long it would take for NATO allies to make it to the front.
French four-star General Philippe de Montenon said he’s confident Europe could prevail, even without the US on side. “The direction of history is a progressive disengagement of the United States from the European continent,” he said.


My brother in foreign affairs, Russia has been an aggressor of Ukraine it’s whole existence.
Ukraine signed an agreement which cited that it would give up nuclear warheads for protection by the USA against Russia.
That protection never happened. Crimea was taken. Chaos ensued on the borders. Then Russia struck their fucking capital.
AND YOU WANT US TO FUCKING TRADE WITH RUSSIA, lol… Surely that will fix everything.
We trade with USA, aggressor of half of the world, and Europe itself participated in the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan and the bombing of Libya and Yugoslavia. Currently, the EU stance is to support the genocidal apartheid regime of Netanyahu. Why is Russian aggression worse and should be punished more than any other aggression?
