    Wasn’t that pretty clear when he left NATO?

      Trump just says the quiet part out loud here, if push comes to shove then US will absolutely hang Europe to dry. The fate of Ukraine is a preview of what the rest of Europe can expect.

        It’s almost as if the EU is completely defenceless. How on earth could the EU expect to protect themselves without the help of the US?!

          That’s a problem for the EU to figure out. Maybe antagonizing its biggest neighbour hoping that US will come charging in to save the EU wasn’t the smartest idea in retrospect.

            I think you may have missed my sarcasm there mate. Clearly the EU (and the UK now that they’re no longer a part of the EU) are capable of protecting themselves without relying on the US. Sure, it’s a nice relationship to have, but it isn’t the be all and end all! It might come as a surprise but the EU (along with the other traditional allies of the US) aren’t damsels in distress, waiting for the US to save them.

                  Leaving aside the sheer absurdity of Russia attacking Europe, the fact that Russia has the biggest nuclear arsenal in the world appears to escape you. Of course, you also think that Russia is performing badly in Ukraine, so what else is there to say about you.
