Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called for the creation of a unified European military force, saying the continent must be self-reliant amid a persistent threat from Russia and uncertainty about U.S. support – a situation he described as “this new reality.”
Ok, but is that not what Nato is meant to be?
NATO is mainly a tool of US power projection in Europe cosplaying as a defensive alliance against Russia.
Now with a Russian puppet sitting in the White House another time (and possibly for good), this concept isn’t worth the paper the North Atlantic Treaty is written on.
How would you implement a defensive alliance against russia without say US troops in the Baltic nations?
By the fucking EU getting its shit together. But unfortunately, the EU is infiltrated by a bunch of corrupt “transatlanticist” US bootlickers, who have been stalling the EU becoming a power that could hold its own without the US.
Don’t forget the russian asslickers
They, at least so far, haven’t had as much power as the US asslickers, except in a handful of countries. Also they have been generally understood as being a problem, while the US bootlickers have been largely applauded and celebrated.
It just a nice way of saying we should distance from US.
A trick for politicians to talk about it trough media and countries without talking about US, like who else think this…. It would be Germany and France that would have to be the prime drive so is really for political persons there.
I’m from Denmark so really to small to do anything, but I think we would be ready to take quite a big step away from US towards Germany. The negative impact of the last few weeks are hard to explain but I think we lost trust in the US as a people not just a few persons.
Definitely don’t trust the US population, we’re pretty much all stupid and selfish.
Oh. We dont. We’re about 10 years past expecting Americans to do anything other than burn and destroy out of spite
The US as a whole country doesn’t make sense, It shouldnt exist as one nation, its obvious collectively that they hate the world, and they hate each other. The only reason for its existence is to countrer the Monolith of China. and with the US stabbing its supposed allies in the back, using Jingoistic, and Imperialist talk. China is looking like the stable and sensible option now.
This is what happens when you dont kill the Nazis. the fucking CCP becomes the more appealing option.
China seems to be reasonable, which is what you want with a partner. Obviously they are not an ally to anyone in the west, but they act in a predictable way. Seems refreshing these days.

Poland needs to give Germany a couple of kicks in the arse, “go, rearm, no we don’t mind you having a strong military we mind you not having one let’s go kick Russian asses”. France has been anti-atlanticist for basically ever, they’re the ones constantly pushing for European strategic autonomy. I believe in Poland. They’re Slavs, they can get a rusty motor running.
Control of NATO’s military is under direct control of the most unstable member.
