Trump just says the quiet part out loud here, if push comes to shove then US will absolutely hang Europe to dry. The fate of Ukraine is a preview of what the rest of Europe can expect.
That’s a problem for the EU to figure out. Maybe antagonizing its biggest neighbour hoping that US will come charging in to save the EU wasn’t the smartest idea in retrospect.
I think you may have missed my sarcasm there mate. Clearly the EU (and the UK now that they’re no longer a part of the EU) are capable of protecting themselves without relying on the US. Sure, it’s a nice relationship to have, but it isn’t the be all and end all! It might come as a surprise but the EU (along with the other traditional allies of the US) aren’t damsels in distress, waiting for the US to save them.
Fighting individual countries might favor Russia depending on the country, but I would love to see Putin get his ass handed to him if he dared attack the whole european bloc.
Given how badly Russia is performing in Ukraine, I’d love to see it fail at trying to project power in the EU.
Leaving aside the sheer absurdity of Russia attacking Europe, the fact that Russia has the biggest nuclear arsenal in the world appears to escape you. Of course, you also think that Russia is performing badly in Ukraine, so what else is there to say about you.
It did not escape me. Too bad they can’t use it because using it means they’re also “turned to glass”, as the cool kids say, if they do. France and the UK do have a nuclear arsenal of their own, and the US might actually hold their promises and retaliate. Their arsenal may not be as big, but hey, it works at least, and it’s enough to kill all the war criminals in Moscow (and, sadly, thousands and thousands of civilians, which would be an absolute tragedy).
Despite the narrative that you despicable Russian trolls are pushing, the war of aggression launched by Russia is a failure that is reminiscent of the failure that Afghanistan was. Russia failed to achieve the objectives it set out to accomplish in a reasonable time frame. It’s a stalemate, at least for now. Which shows how pathetic the Russian war machine is, especially when you consider the numbers involved here. If it’s struggling against Ukraine alone, just imagine how ridiculously it would fare against a bloc with multiple times the population, with a nuclear arsenal to boot.
I wouldn’t dare say that Ukraine is winning the war, or that it will eventually, mind you. I never have. Only time will tell. All I was saying is that Russia has nothing to brag about. They achieved very little in the past two years relative to the effort they put in, and managed to reach new highs in cruelty and perfidy.
Wasn’t that pretty clear when he left NATO?

It’s almost as if the EU is completely defenceless. How on earth could the EU expect to protect themselves without the help of the US?!

welcome to the real world mate

So Russia has more… The UK and France have “enough”. What difference does the number make?
And you think that Russia is performing well in Ukraine? Now I know you’re not serious about any of this…
