"European elites up to now have not only been cheapskates when it comes to military spending, they found the very existence of their countries’ armed forces distasteful.
When Ursula von der Leyen was Germany’s defense minister a decade ago, German soldiers were reduced to using broomsticks as substitutes for heavy guns in NATO exercises — they just didn’t have enough real equipment.
Germany is not a poor country: Its armed forces were forced to play pretend with broomsticks because leaders didn’t care enough to keep them armed and ready for real action."
America is now an official threat to national security. By refusing to give aid Trump is signing the death warrant of innocent people and he won't lose a wink of sleep. Countries are united and give aid to those in need because one day that country could well be them and they will need urgent help. It is also just a moral duty to stop senseless killing which is innate in normal people. Trump is not normal , he is a clinical sociopath in a suit who has no morals or empathy. Its laughable that he insists he wants peace whilst denying military aid and Putin agreeing this is "the best contribution to the cause of peace" (!) shows how evil these two individuals are. You cannot reason with evil, nor appease it. We are living in very uncertain dangerous times due to the whims of a madman wielding power he should never have been given.

Well said.
Trump bragged he would stop the war in 24 hours, instead, he has split countries into them and us, him seeming to be on the side of the aggressors. The Kremlin is loving this.
I believe his idea was to get Ukraine to give up their invaded land to Russia, then him and Putin could share the proceeds of whatever Ukrainian soil produces.
He has put Zelenskyy in an impossible position.

Why doesn't India defend Europe?

If Trump hadn't acted like a traitor I'm sure there would be less young lads being 'destroyed'.

He is a warmonger...I know you get that.
Like I said somewhere, go back 80 odd years, and he would have been smarming round Hitler wondering what 'spoils' he could pillage from other countries.

This isn't about him though.

There are 500 million Europeans that can handle this and cut him out of the process..

47‘s doing his Presidential Address to congress and to the nation later - also known as ‘Don’t Believe Your Lying Eyes & Ears’.
Expect his ‘attaboy Trump!’ speech to feature his usual tsunami of lies, and the completely fictitious figures and stats he’ll pull right out of his arse.
The co-POTUS will also be there, of course. I liken Elon to the Alpha Bitch you see in prison movies - he‘s like the guy strutting around the prison yard, with the inside lining of one of his pockets being clutched by his favourite ‘girly’, who obediently follows him everywhere.

The stock market is tanking today over his tariffs. He better have a plan laid out explaining how this is going to help in the long run..

Zelensky is pulling a fast one over trump who is well-known for being absolute rubbish at making deals. There are no viably commercial seams of rare earths in Ukraine. Where does Trump get the idea that there are?

America doesn't have to join other countries in providing military aid Maddog, it can join forces with Putin who starts wars , sit back and watch innocent children die. Any country can do nothing to help, but its not morally right. You do understand Russia started the war, not the ukraine, that they are the victims. If everyone adopted Trump's worldview , stood back and did nothing and let genocide continue what would happen to that world?

You mean like Chamberlain and Plan Z?
No.
The European foreign policy of the Chamberlain ministry from 1937 to 1940 was based on British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's commitment to "peace for our time" by pursuing a policy of appeasement and containment towards Nazi Germany and by increasing the strength of Britain's armed forces until, in September 1939, he delivered an ultimatum over the invasion of Poland, which was followed by a declaration of war against Germany.
