    No you did not. You simply linked a Reuters article which did not explain why the security of the Baltics represent vital American geostrategic interests.

    You're just avoiding explaining why the security of the Baltics represent vital American geostrategic interests because you couldn't then and cannot now.

    You did not explain what I was "incorrect" about. We're waiting.

    It's impossible to respond to your incoherent and scatter brained posts.

    But that's probably the point. You're not interested in anyone drilling down on your thoughts because it's gibberish.

    Tariffs definitionally are not free trade.

    Trump is not looking for a level playing field. He is looking for a deal that disproportionately favors the US.

    The Republican budget proposal, supported by the White House, increases the debt by $4.5 trillion due to tax cuts primarily benefiting the wealthy. In comparison, aid to Ukraine is a minor expense. If we are approaching bankruptcy, policies like this are to blame.

    The narrative that Ukraine will lose no matter what is pure speculation.

    Maybe we already did in 2024.

    Right, human mindset today doesn't bold well for non-proliferation. AI it is.

    NATO, not just the U.S., has kept Europe stable. It’s a 31-country alliance, not a welfare program. War isn’t inevitable without the U.S., but leaving would be reckless. Russia’s military is weak outside nukes, and China has no NATO equivalent. Defending Europe isn’t about race - it’s about stability. Europe isn’t helpless; it’s ramping up defense and isn’t some collapsing mess. Trading with Russia and China isn’t the issue - Russia’s actions are.

    Ukraine war is about over. It's a shame Ukraine will end up paying all the war reparations.

    Meanwhile right on cue, Weimar is back! Behold, the leftist nazi party is born. I'm sure @DaDakota and @Deckard will be saluting some left wingnut as they lead Eurooe into war. The war mongers tried hard to get the US involved in Ukraine.

    Trump cuts off military intelligence to ukraine in middle of war => Europeans wake up and find out that can happen to them => Europeans decide they need to ramp up defense spending as they can't rely on American defense contractors => braindead morons in America claim Europeans are war mongering

    **** is too funny

    You should cut back on the weed. What you're posting these days is making less and less sense.

    The anti Ukraine war people have been saying Europe should be funding and managing Ukraine. The threat is theirs, not the US.

    And good God dude, sober up. Its a week night.

    You are sincerely one of the dumbest mf'ers on these forums sincerely. I don't know if you fell off a motorcycle recently but you've become braindead as of late

    Sigh.

    Poland and the Baltics are about to withdraw from landmine treaties and start mining their borders with Russia. Lithuania is withdrawing from the cluster bomb treaty because they say they need all means to defend themselves against Russia. Others will likely follow. We are doing the one thing we didn't want to do after WWII, and that is to get an arms build-up in Europe. Oh well, historically, nothing bad has happened.

    I'm in denmark and the only thing anyone is talking about is Russia possibly invading Europe. It's ugly. The Russian PM is literally gloating about how Trump gave RU a green light to invade EU

    85% of the spending for Ukraine was spent in America
    Making those supplies
    so cutting Ukraine Support = American Jobs loss

    Lovely
