European leaders push back against Washington’s proposal for a broader security framework, warning that Moscow cannot dictate the continent’s future as US-led peace negotiations over Ukraine prepare to resume in Abu Dhabi.
A Trump never pays their debts
He probably believes that by forcefully calling it big and beatiful he can will those qualities into existence. Classic billionaire mentality, if I am saying it, it must be correct. Plus a significant dose of college grade bullyism.
“if I am saying it, it must be correct” is not billionaire mentality. It’s mentality of abusive person.
he reminds me of a relative that has Alzheimers. Same obsessiveness, grudges over every perceived slight, making things up and getting irrationally mad about them, etc etc.
billionaires tend to do this quite alot, there is certainly a correlation. I think there is also a causation, i.e among people with opportunities it is easier to become a billionaire if you are abusive.
Trying to unite all the good white nations? Definitely not white supremacist.
I am white and he is not trying to unite my nation. Ukraine is all white and he is definitely not trying to unite it. Unless conquest is considered unification.
Heh, trump does not care about unifying or saving Ukraine, he just cared about not wasting american military ressources going after a war that was just a failed attempt at expanding nato closer to Russian borders. If that happened, they would be able to sneak in covert military members far more easily.
I meant this as in, Trump has shown preferentialism for white nations as far as accords he has signed. Whilst Obama was trying in his time to negotiate the trans pacific partnership in his time, Trump has been avoiding people who do not have the same skin color as him. It speaks a lot on his intelligence imo.
Any deal with trump should be rejected, as the rest of the world well knows. Just wait until that dishounourable degenerate gasbag goes away so we can all start using pens again.
You don’t even have to dignify him with a response at this point. Just say that your looking forward to the working with the next legitimate leader of the United States
Gotta refute it or the orange guy will think they agreed.
He’s still got the football for the next two years…for now.
I guarantee his handlers replaced it with a football phone some time ago, and I doubt he’s noticed. Even when it rings
They literally took the suit case and have given the dumbass a football shaped phone with a nuclear sticker on it
Exactly! You think Trump knows what it actually looks like? It’s called a football, so football shaped.
Although I doubt they even cared enough to find an actual nuclear sticker. I bet they found an old Mr. Yuk sticker in a drawer somewhere and slapped that on, knowing Trump would never notice
This isn’t a Trump thing. The EU is simply no longer a major power. The next leader of the US might be more polite about it, but they will also put Europe on the menu, so to say.
Weird then that Russia, China and the US are all so concerned over what the EU is doing?
If the EU is a fading power what about the US who’s strength lay in the quality of their logistics matched with a vast array of potent allies? So much of their institutional knowledge has been lost, stripped out by a man who thought that testosterone levels made for a better military. Thats not to even mention the cimplete destruction of so many civilian institutions because of doge. All their allies goodwill has been pissed away because they looked at the sweetheart deals they were getting and demanded more and more and more. Their economy was bet entirely on AI.
Then what of Russia? It’s economy is bleeding out much like it’s military and diplomatically it has become a pariah.
China is doing better than Russia or the US by a considerable margin but it has it’s own problems and is staring down the barrel of demographic collapse.
The EU is not without it’s flaws but I find it strange in the current geopolitical landscape to look at the EU and declare it the fading power.
Weird then that Russia, China and the US are all so concerned over what the EU is doing?
The EU has a lot of money and resources that can be taken over (mostly by the US, Russia might get a deal to keep eastern Europe neutral).
A huge advantage the EU had was that they had good relations with all three superpowers. They had Russian fuel, Chinese components, the protection of the US military, and access to the markets of all three. That was an insanely lucrative position to be in. Now, the EU no longer has access to Russian or Gulf fuel, and must buy much more expensive fuel from the US. (A deal with Canada could help here.) It has started a trade war with China, one in which ‘the cards are made in China’. And now it has to either accept an unequal treaty with the US (less bad in the short run), or break relations with the last of the superpowers (probably the less bad choice in the long run).
Another problem is the loss of the (neo)colonies. Many European countries had political control, or at least economic influence, over countries in Asia and Africa. But this weakens as those countries develop, and with China expanding their relations through the Belt and Road initiative, these countries can now play off the EU / IMF against China to get better deals, or even switch to Chinese loans (very useful if China is already their biggest trading partner).
As for the US and Russia, yes they are also weakening, but they started off higher so they have longer to fall before they lose the superpower status. They also have the two biggest nuclear arsenals on the planet (~1700 deployed warheads each), more than six times the size of third-placed France (~300).
The EU has a lot of money and resources that can be taken over (mostly by the US, Russia might get a deal to keep eastern Europe neutral).
Oh I see you live in fantasy land. A fantasy land where Russia didn’t lose it’s superpower status at the end of the cold war. Where the US is in a postion to sieze control of an entire contient full of organisationally and culturally diverse nations and will be able to split it between themselves and Russia. And in this fanasty of yours they’ll be able to this for so little cost that the money and reasources they’ll be able to extract from the EU will more than pay for this endavour such that the money and reasources make it worth it for the US to take over the EU.
phahahahahahhahha!
Listen if all the EU militaries were armed only with rocks invading and holding the EU would still be a massive and costly undertaking and you expect the US who are currently struggling in Iran to just be able to stroll in and take it? The same US which is famously very allegric to servicemen coffins being shipped home? Is your assessment that the EU is no longer a major power based entirely on the belief that it would simply roll over if seriously attacked?
Also pointing out that France has three hundred nukes does not convince me the EU isn’t a major power anymore.

Sounds like there’s no details and it’s a refutation of the entire concept.
The initiative has immediately drawn objections from European officials, who insist that the continent’s security arrangements are already established and cannot be renegotiated over their heads.
He is a lame duck president and won’t get support from congress on anything.
In terms of foreign policy, he’s often acted unilaterally anyway.
The difference is that now he’ll be put on trial for that sort of thing. His party refused to hold him accountable while they held the legislature. Democrats won’t have the votes in January to remove him from office, but they can force him through a legal process that he would rather avoid. I think he’ll do everything he can to save himself.
Republicans set a precedent when they subpoenaed Clinton over the Trump-Epstein Files™, so now Trump can be forced to testify when he leaves office.
