Donald Trump has again attacked Nato for not supporting the US in the Iran war, following a private meeting with its Secretary General Mark Rutte at the White House.
In a post shared to Truth Social after the meeting, the US President said: “NATO WASN’T THERE WHEN WE NEEDED THEM, AND THEY WON’T BE THERE IF WE NEED THEM AGAIN.”
Meanwhile, Rutte has described his meeting to CNN with Trump as “very frank” and “very open”, despite clear disagreements.
The two persons in the world I believe the least, so who gives a flying fuck about what comes from their meeting. The only truth we care about is, that Trump loves putin, Rutte loves his position at NATO, we all know USA won’t come and help if russia attacks a NATO Ally in Europe. Trump want to take greenland with force, Rutte knows his job is gone if this happen. As long as Rutte can keep the lie alive about NATO, the longer he is in a position of power.
Russia won’t attack Europe any time soon. The war in Ukraine has already drawn them out so much. In the long term I do consider Russia a threat to Europe but right now they’re not one really.
That is only as long as EU can manage to deliver what Ukraine needs. Blockages from Putin lover Orban has been a real pain in the arse. Everytime we are near something that could end the war, some fucking asshole keeps spoiling things. If Orban isn’t taken care of on sunday, and if the slovaki or slovenian putin lover also starts being trouble for EU, we are in serious problems. We need to step up really quickly. Friends will turn foes on the way to EU independency.
Ruzzia and Europe are in a hybrid war already. If you mean a full kinetic atack you should specify. Also, when considering a kinetic atack most European analysts believe somewhere within 5 years.
I dunno… What worries me is that Putin’s ability to escalate is constrained right now, because Ukraine is seen more as military adventurism, not a fight for survival. If he could engineer a war with NATO - especially NATO minus the US - that would justify far reaching conscription, total militarization of the economy, etc, etc. He probably won’t win, but if he’s fearful enough of losing power it might seem like an attractive option.
I’m not considering this a likely scenario, just one that’s plausible enough that we need to plan for it.
