@joaocosta Yes, and our leaders, except a few like Polen, the Nordic countries and the Baltic countries, didn't prepare for what might happen, slow walked building upour military capabilitie. If Trump refuses to help protect Europe, we might be too weak to withstand a Russian attack supported by North Koreans and Iranian weapons. Ukraine buys us some time, but it would have been smarter to fully support Ukraine to defeat the Russian aggressors instead of what we as Europeans have done.

"There is a very good chance that the North Atlantic Alliance, which has dominated much of the globe since 1949, will become dysfunctional in fewer than 3 months. #Trump doesn’t have to withdraw from the alliance to do that—all he has to do is remove the #US from the military command (which is what De Gaulle did with French forces in 1966)... no US forces will fight to protect #Europe if Trump doesn't want them to."
