From an American, I wish you the best! My prayers are with your success in providing protection and peace within. I’m sad and scared that we’ve lost ours. 😢 Peace be with you ❤️✌️🙏🏻
It is up to us to VOTE and get others to do so in the midterms in 2026. America is NOT MAGAT! MAGATs are anti-Constitutional and therefore un-American, and we need to take our country back and fix the damage they will almost certainly do through their attempts to create an authoritarian oligarchy like Trump's hero, Putin.
Many thanks. You and millions of other decent US people deserve leadership that is so much better. I and many other Europeans really fear for the future of the US, not just for our own protection (shared security and mutual support is so much better), but for your own safety, freedoms and standards of living for the majority of people.
As an American, I hang my head, in shame! What have we done? I am so very sorry! My heart is broken! I'm so sorry, to my WWII Veteran dad! Wish the best for the Group of five and will keep them in my prayers!
@@jasongutierrez5121the Americans decided to take steps backwards into the dark ages with the latest election. That's what half of the population has done.
It's not so much what the US administration and population has done it's what they haven't done. Prayers are not worth anything other your own feelgood factor. America is not alone in this, much of Europe needs to talk to the man in the mirror if only because this is happening in our name on our continents. Want to feel even better about yourself and be of practical use to the poor souls in a fledgling democracy who only want what you take for granted now being killed, maimed, raped, castrated, abducted, robbed, burnt while we in the west do the tut-tutting and throwing a meaningless prayer to some imaginary friend so we can feel good about ourselves? Then just become active with actions of this world not of some imaginary nether world. Help can come in many forms, please consider them. I wish you well even if my frustration displays something other.
I am glad to hear that these Fabulous Five European defenders has formed. Not that I would encourage America to stop fulfilling promised aide. God bless... 🙏💪🇺🇦💯♥️🇺🇸
@@robgoodson4483 it's only three years now and u saying they hv struggled. What America and nato who were in Afghanistan for 20 years with susphiscated weapons and billions spent the weapons worth trillions left them in the hands of donkey and motorbike riders yet didn't defeat the Talibans.
@@JerryWayne-m5r He has placated to our worst adversary, in Russia, China, and N. Korea, and made fools of us to all of our biggest allies, and trade partners. That during his first term. Playing games in geopolitics and causing wars within our own alliance, and being taunted by Putin, causing irrationally behavior. And will cost Americans dearly with his tariff threats, and trade wars. And the latter was just this campaign, and before he’s even taken oath.
Except, they are all on the verge of bankruptcy... except Poland. Poland is the ONLY European nation that can take on Russia. Without Poland, the rest will fall.
@@eyaklen4804 It's more like, Putin is still deciding how to use his military. The Russian military is weak. The leadership is WEAK. The soldiers are good, but the leadership in Russia sucks. They are still using WWII manoeuvres against a well dug in Ukrainian line. Charging a position head on is NOT a tactic.
The last video of the crash was the most clear. Much too fast of a sink rate, then a sudden and rapid pitch up and bank to the left. This looks like an unstabilized approach with a go around decision made too late. Why that happened is unknown, but the crew had something going wrong before the airplane was in camera frame.
About time. I hope it will form an arms strategy such identifiying key ammunition suppliers and funding them for the future, so we have the capability to maintain sufficient suppliers, e.g. for 155mm shells in time of war. Do we need three makes of main battle tanks, etc. etc.
The only European nation that Russia should fear, is Poland. This nation has been taken lightly, but they have the ONLY armed forces in Europe that could actually take on Russia. The UK is hopeless, Germans are trigger shy, and France... well, let's just look at their history. If you need to win a war, then send in the soldiers that know how to use their equipment and their men... Canadians, Australians mainly Gurkas, South Africans, Americans. If it wasn't for those countries, everyone in Europe would be speaking German right now. Polish soldiers are BADASS!
@@CarlCaf someone else with a distinctly sketchy grasp of actual historical facts [including the fact that the US was LATE to both of the wars it allegedly won]
Europe (The EU and NATO members) must unite for European security, because you know best on how to defend Europe from Russia! To be honest, about 90% of conservatives in the USA do not support Ukraine's efforts to establish freedom from Putin's/Russia's subjugation by force. They hear and believe Russian propaganda that supports their aggression against Ukraine. Hopefully, US officials will ultimately seek a peace deal that benefits Ukraine's interests, rather than Putin's criminally tainted aggression.
Great. He mentioned a common weapon approach. Ukraine is defining what works and what doesn't along with massive innovation in drones. Small Ukraine is writing a new "Art of War" that must be intentsely studied by China and ever other country.
Far more agressive you mean? And I agree with you. We need a Nordic Union. The Baltics, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark would be a regional superpower with the right mind and the will to ramp up support for Ukraine. I looked into it, and among us we won't even need to buy weapons from US, Germany, Switzerland and others who want to ban the use how we see fit
Cool initiative! It will be needed. Poland spends the most of their GDP on defence in Europe (NATO). But then comes Estonia, Latvia, Greece and Lithuania. The UK is in 8th place, Germany 14th, France 18th and Italy 25th. Italy spends 1.49% which is below the 2% target. So not the biggest spenders except for Poland. Not the biggest countries either. Sweden and Norway for example are actually bigger than all of them except for France.
Don't forget though that Italy has a HUGE issue with illegal immigrants and that takes a lot of cash as well to manage. Military defence isn't the only important thing countries spend on and priorities can change from month to month depending on INTERNAL circumstances. The same applies to Greece.
So where will the US put its 9 garrisons that are located in Europe, its 7 airfields, base and maintain its 6th Fleet (currently Naples) and other naval facilities, Marine bases, etc. Actual numbers are difficult to tease out, as often facilities are shared with other NATO countries and the home country, such as Incirlik in Turkey. These bases are not only for the defence of Europe, but for US activities in the Middle East, Red Sea, Persian Gulf, Africa, etc. Costs vary by country, type of facility and non-financial factors e.g. local job creation. However, Germany currently pays $1 billion a year to maintain German bases there. So the 'free ride' is more to the US benefit, Mr Trump.
Yes best thing to do form your own defense team. Don't involve nato so you can do what you want without been told by America you can't defend yourself if putin attacks or Flys into your air space.
Who polices the trade routes of the world? Who has china taiwan , the Phillipines, south America and other parts of the world to protect or trade in Europe will collapse? Europe can police their own backyard. They only lack the courage.

---- < Good news about E -Five. I do wonder what Romanians think about what Russia is doing in Ukraine, if there will be an investigation into the Georgian election and who will do it.
I feel that Canada [who have been the first to help Europe when they needed help] and Sweden [excellent military industry] should also be included [and Canada has land Ruzzia would like not to mention if they gain Alaska - again as they would allegedly like to do, maybe tRump will give it to them in thanks for getting him elected - they will have Ruzzia right on their doorstep. I somehow feel Europe will defend Canada long before the US would bother.
Ignoring a genocidal imperialist dictator will not make them go away. The rest of us learned from 1930s that isolationism and appeasement doesn't work against war criminals who do not recognize sovereign territory and a rules-based order.
Just because the US has the BIGGEST military industrial complex in the world DOESN'T mean other countries aren't paying their share [despite the lies of tRump stating otherwise]. Unfortunately there are always the gullible who are happy to believe his lies and claim them as ''facts''.
Those of you sarcastically commenting on Poland are not wise. The polish people don’t need to fight anymore let alone Russia, the Anglo Saxons has an agenda to preserve their empire and dominance using someone ‘s blood, what did Polish people gaining from war sitting at Central Europeans a small country with its populations doesn’t need war unless it wants to destroy itself like Ukraine.Peace is the only way out for Poland 🇵🇱 choose the right path stop being Americans puppet.
Bravo E 5 The security of Europe is in your hands. I am an American retired living in France, and my trust in Trump in honoring NATO is minimal; his best friend is Putin. Dictators like Dictators I can not really pity the USA for electing a criminal. I do feel for my minority friends who voted for Kamala and who believe in the values of our constitution and the rights for all people.
@@VajrahahaShunyata She was. I remember the reports of her visits to African countries to convince them to push through legislation the US demanded they push through regardless of what their ELECTED members of governments thought [literally by by-passing said members, she wanted the presidents to simply say ''this is now law'' which went down like a Ruzzian warship to the bottom of the sea as well as a very public reprimand by the Ghanaian president. Then - not long after Queen Elizabeth died - she was talking about the Commonwealth of Nations being an empire and was publicly reprimanded for that as well by a couple more presidents pointing out that she was basically saying Africans [African countries are the most common in the commonwealth] are far too stupid to tell the difference between voluntarily joining an association of countries with similar aims and which is of benefit to them [and their citizens] and being forced into an empire, and this was to countries who HAD been forced into empires until very recent times [French empire in both cases]. Leaving aside her sex, political party and skin colour she was a bad politician and probably did as much damage to the US's international reputation as tRump did during his term in power so in that respect she isn't a loss as president. But to the COUNTRY she would have been a far better choice FOR IT'S CITIZENS than tRump. Have you hard the latest, five of the NATO countries who spend the most of their GDP on their military have formed a new group called the E-5 [UK, Germany, Poland, France, Italy] and stated - basically - that s0d the USA, Europe doesn't need them and they will arm and aid Ukraine as THEY see fit and not as the USA thinks they should [in other words they WILL provide aid to Ukraine and the US can't stop them as they have been doing up until now]. Time will tell whether other NATO [and non NATO] countries join but if nothing else the US is going to start to see the results of their meddling in European business [including refusing to allow European countries to supply European made and owned missiles for use against Ruzzia, namely the UK supplied and European made sky shadow missiles - might have the name wrong, sorry] and along with the threats to keep the US out of the intelligence [military and otherwise] loop because they are now seen as a security risk the US is going to become the isolationist country they wanted to be. I'm now waiting for tRump to start complaining, I've already seen comments that if it weren't for the US we'd all be speaking German and apparently we will soon also be speaking Ruzzian without them to keep us safe so this could be interesting.
Poland was starved murdered by Russia what kinda heart to heart is left they are brothers but their badly broken I was in Poland in 1991 I saw firsthand how brutal the Russians treated the poles I want to ask we’re in the world do you live and are you on crack?
@@Parentcamper How were the Nazi's treating the Poles? And that was then this is now, with the possibility of vaporizing Warsaw. I think terms could be worked out in the short term. You don't have to love the Russkies. But don't let the NATO-US-WEF kill Poland. We humans really prefer the Polish people alive and healthy. Pokój i miłość bracie!
@@mikejohnson9118Polish people have better relations with Germany than Russia as Germany, after the war, has been treating Polish people better than Russia. Russia is a bully.
@ ww2 Germans murdered the poles but the Russians murdered and raped .. personally I think it was a huge mistake not allowing Russia to join NATO they could have been a great ally and NATO focus could have been on China . I wish Poland and Russia could be better allies. I do respect some of Putin’s responses to the west he believes in traditional families but he is ruthless and you see it in Ukraine really sad and it would have been a lot better if Russia was on the side of the west
Wonderful, i am glad to hear this. I am pretty sure my ancestors are from France, Scandinavia(Likely Norway) and maybe Northern England. Probably Northern England. So Europe and NATO is important to me. The United States is very strong but we cannot fight all these people who are against us and Europe. I know Poland isn't playing around, I do like Giorgia Meloni as she is tough, France of course is always paying attention, don't mess with Germany and Great Britian could be in a tree watching you. Never Know 😄 A Strong Europe that will not mess around. 💪🦾Hopefully most everything can be solved at barging table but we continue on for the worst.
6:10 "5 nations that spend most by GDP" please get you head out of your ass only Poland has a claim to actually being significant spender so pitiful for the other 4 to try to ride on others merits.
NATO should switch to 6.5 Grendel for their primary rifle caliber. This would be better suited for modern warfare. Better range and better performance in wind allows increased effective engagement ranges. It also is better for use with the latest anti drone rifle scopes.
So now Europe is forced to make thousands of Nukes to protect it's self. Sounds like the beginning of the end. One A.H. starts shouting his mouth off about something he knows nothing about and he turns the world on itself.
Strange meeting, I have a feeling that under Trump these guys will sing the US Forces farewell to Pacific song. I hope that Poles will defend this useless bunch from the West.
@@michaelhowe5369 I have noticed a couple of UA-cam channels claiming storm shadows are US missiles, when I checked they were donated by the UK and made in EUROPE by a EUROPEAN company based in Paris. Does the US think now that Europe [and many seem under the impression Europe is just a country] is/are a part of their disunited states.
I don't want to be critical of EU countries. Still, they seem out of touch with reality without the help of EU countries sending in their troops since North Korea has already sent in a huge number of soldiers fighting in Ukraine. Thus, each EU country should send in 30,000 - 50,000 troops to support Ukraine reclaiming Crimea by January 20, 2025.
I am a proud 61 years young United States Air Force military bratt. And, I highly recommend that "The E5" contact President Joe Biden, to gain a wealth of military experienced knowledge.
Will members of the new group who are also in NATO consider leaving NATO? What do you think? So far, NATO countries helped the US in Afghanistan. The US has failed miserably in NATO it seems to me. The US could have done so much more in Afghanistan and in Ukraine. What a disgrace!
@@k.sullivan6303 The US is the only member of NATO, aside from Poland, who meet the requirements for membership. NATO did almost nothing in Iraq and Afghanistan. The UK and Denmark sent some combat troops. Everyone else served food and cleaned latrines with their 50 - 500 non combat troop contributions.
@@thenunbus I guess that's a "no" as far as you are concerned. Keep in mind that Trump is most likely going to attempt to become a dictator, and the USA has a lot of control over NATO. Perhaps democratic countries in Europe won't want to be under the thumb of a dictator.
VERY IMPORTANT : Do you know the downside of people who talk too much? Answer: They yearn for and prepare for the next meetings, and after the meetings, they feel proud and celebrate what was discussed. Do you know the problem with people who talk too much? Answer: Because meetings and discussions fulfill their need to feel like a lot was achieved during the day, they always lag behind reality-what is actually happening in practice. These talkers then need to meet again because they are now one step behind in understanding what is going on in the real world, leaving them stuck in a cycle. Every ineffective meeting means thousands more deaths and fewer successful outcomes, while the talkers continue their "pointless meetings." When danger is at home (in private life), the talker does not convene a meeting; they act to protect their family. If, in other situations, they only want to hold meetings, it shows they "don’t truly care about those suffering as a result." So, what is their actual agenda? Stop now and accept peace. Do not use the moment of attention on Ukraine to show off!
Trump warned Europe in 2018 to begin taking the defense of Europe seriously, and contribute their mandated share of membership in NATO. France will only now spend the mandated 2% GDP. That is the minimum required. They know what Trump will say. He warned them 6 years ago. They scoffed at him. It's too late now. America is done with European foolishness. France will pay only the minimum because France knows the fighting will be in Poland and the Baltics. What does France care until Russia is approaching Paris?
@@slartybarfastb3648 it just seems like all day it’s been one drama after another. Being the amount of money that is coming from the United States it probably would be respectable to speak to one another as grown-ups. I don’t think people have the ability to do this anymore everyone is so selfish in their hearts just spewing anger instead of just stopping for a minute with an act of kindness.
@@tracykimber729 That conversation happened in 2018. European leaders practicly called Trump a nut for warning them about Russia. He specifically called out Germany for making massive oil and gas deals with Russia while contributing less than half a percent of GDP to Europe's defense. The minimum contribution for NATO membership is 2 %. Only Poland has met that that requirement for decades. Some times it's too late to talk.

Bravo E 5 The security of Europe is in your hands. I am an American retired living in France, and my trust in Trump in honoring NATO is minimal; his best friend is Putin. Dictators like Dictators I can not really pity the USA for electing a criminal. I do feel for my minority friends who voted for Kamala and who believe in the values of our constitution and the rights for all people.
We thank you for your support.
At least you are safe. You can try to help as best you can from the safety of Europe which is probably more helpful than many think.
Trump didn't win as much as Kamela lost. She was a horrible candidate
@@VajrahahaShunyata She was. I remember the reports of her visits to African countries to convince them to push through legislation the US demanded they push through regardless of what their ELECTED members of governments thought [literally by by-passing said members, she wanted the presidents to simply say ''this is now law'' which went down like a Ruzzian warship to the bottom of the sea as well as a very public reprimand by the Ghanaian president. Then - not long after Queen Elizabeth died - she was talking about the Commonwealth of Nations being an empire and was publicly reprimanded for that as well by a couple more presidents pointing out that she was basically saying Africans [African countries are the most common in the commonwealth] are far too stupid to tell the difference between voluntarily joining an association of countries with similar aims and which is of benefit to them [and their citizens] and being forced into an empire, and this was to countries who HAD been forced into empires until very recent times [French empire in both cases].
Leaving aside her sex, political party and skin colour she was a bad politician and probably did as much damage to the US's international reputation as tRump did during his term in power so in that respect she isn't a loss as president. But to the COUNTRY she would have been a far better choice FOR IT'S CITIZENS than tRump.
Have you hard the latest, five of the NATO countries who spend the most of their GDP on their military have formed a new group called the E-5 [UK, Germany, Poland, France, Italy] and stated - basically - that s0d the USA, Europe doesn't need them and they will arm and aid Ukraine as THEY see fit and not as the USA thinks they should [in other words they WILL provide aid to Ukraine and the US can't stop them as they have been doing up until now]. Time will tell whether other NATO [and non NATO] countries join but if nothing else the US is going to start to see the results of their meddling in European business [including refusing to allow European countries to supply European made and owned missiles for use against Ruzzia, namely the UK supplied and European made sky shadow missiles - might have the name wrong, sorry] and along with the threats to keep the US out of the intelligence [military and otherwise] loop because they are now seen as a security risk the US is going to become the isolationist country they wanted to be. I'm now waiting for tRump to start complaining, I've already seen comments that if it weren't for the US we'd all be speaking German and apparently we will soon also be speaking Ruzzian without them to keep us safe so this could be interesting.
It seems normal to me that people elected to defend the people should react to Russian aggression, if not why are they eligible?
How about Poland go speak to Hungary. Have a heart to heart talk. Then come to peace with Russia. Much safer than dealing with NATO-Brussels.
Poland was starved murdered by Russia what kinda heart to heart is left they are brothers but their badly broken I was in Poland in 1991 I saw firsthand how brutal the Russians treated the poles I want to ask we’re in the world do you live and are you on crack?
@@Parentcamper How were the Nazi's treating the Poles? And that was then this is now, with the possibility of vaporizing Warsaw. I think terms could be worked out in the short term. You don't have to love the Russkies. But don't let the NATO-US-WEF kill Poland. We humans really prefer the Polish people alive and healthy.
Pokój i miłość bracie!
@@mikejohnson9118Polish people have better relations with Germany than Russia as Germany, after the war, has been treating Polish people better than Russia. Russia is a bully.
@ ww2 Germans murdered the poles but the Russians murdered and raped .. personally I think it was a huge mistake not allowing Russia to join NATO they could have been a great ally and NATO focus could have been on China . I wish Poland and Russia could be better allies. I do respect some of Putin’s responses to the west he believes in traditional families but he is ruthless and you see it in Ukraine really sad and it would have been a lot better if Russia was on the side of the west
Amazing.
Wonderful, i am glad to hear this. I am pretty sure my ancestors are from France, Scandinavia(Likely Norway) and maybe Northern England. Probably Northern England. So Europe and NATO is important to me. The United States is very strong but we cannot fight all these people who are against us and Europe. I know Poland isn't playing around, I do like Giorgia Meloni as she is tough, France of course is always paying attention, don't mess with Germany and Great Britian could be in a tree watching you. Never Know 😄 A Strong Europe that will not mess around. 💪🦾Hopefully most everything can be solved at barging table but we continue on for the worst.
Those 5 will be atacked by russias new missles???
😂😂 empty threats

6:10 "5 nations that spend most by GDP" please get you head out of your ass only Poland has a claim to actually being significant spender so pitiful for the other 4 to try to ride on others merits.
@@xYarbx tell me something. What is the defence budget in Poland? Money not GDP. And for the last 20 years. Curious. I look forward to your answer.
Strangely unhelpful response. The point was to connect to help each other. Poland was overrun before.
Nice words.
So what happens to NATO ?
NATO isn't going anywhere, lol
In fact, tRump will very likely expand NATO because of everyone's hatred for tRump !
Errr.. nothing? Countries can operate outside of NATO and have done before.
NATO should switch to 6.5 Grendel for their primary rifle caliber. This would be better suited for modern warfare. Better range and better performance in wind allows increased effective engagement ranges. It also is better for use with the latest anti drone rifle scopes.
.277 Fury is a thing to be implemented isn't it?
Thanks Don
So now Europe is forced to make thousands of Nukes to protect it's self. Sounds like the beginning of the end. One A.H. starts shouting his mouth off about something he knows nothing about and he turns the world on itself.
Puttler doesn't play by the rules, so I hope the 5 don't even more so.
Which rules?
Took 3 years since 2014 to see EU got its self defenseless and no communist scare.
Strange meeting, I have a feeling that under Trump these guys will sing the US Forces farewell to Pacific song. I hope that Poles will defend this useless bunch from the West.
In the ancient times UK is too power but now UK is just like hyena
And Russia is just a rat. Don't underestimate the UK.
But British storm shadows are the best missile in Ukraine
@@michaelhowe5369 I have noticed a couple of UA-cam channels claiming storm shadows are US missiles, when I checked they were donated by the UK and made in EUROPE by a EUROPEAN company based in Paris. Does the US think now that Europe [and many seem under the impression Europe is just a country] is/are a part of their disunited states.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣delusional!🤣😂🤣
I don't want to be critical of EU countries. Still, they seem out of touch with reality without the help of EU countries sending in their troops since North Korea has already sent in a huge number of soldiers fighting in Ukraine. Thus, each EU country should send in 30,000 - 50,000 troops to support Ukraine reclaiming Crimea by January 20, 2025.
NEVER GET CRIMEA BACK
No more American made weapons, please
Absolutely
This Mark Steele , are you kidding talk about abhorrent stage presentation truly horrible to listen too ! Ouch !!!!
I am a proud 61 years young United States Air Force military bratt.
And, I highly recommend that "The E5" contact President Joe Biden, to gain a wealth of military experienced knowledge.
😂😂😂
Africans look into yourselves, form a defensive format within yourselves one African.
Will members of the new group who are also in NATO consider leaving NATO? What do you think?
So far, NATO countries helped the US in Afghanistan. The US has failed miserably in NATO it seems to me. The US could have done so much more in Afghanistan and in Ukraine. What a disgrace!
No one is leaving NATO,lol
They are just forming a security alliance that will step up because their military budgets are larger.
Why would they? You mad. The two things are completely unrelated.
@@k.sullivan6303 The US is the only member of NATO, aside from Poland, who meet the requirements for membership.
NATO did almost nothing in Iraq and Afghanistan. The UK and Denmark sent some combat troops. Everyone else served food and cleaned latrines with their 50 - 500 non combat troop contributions.
@@thenunbus I guess that's a "no" as far as you are concerned. Keep in mind that Trump is most likely going to attempt to become a dictator, and the USA has a lot of control over NATO. Perhaps democratic countries in Europe won't want to be under the thumb of a dictator.
Atleast putin alocate 5 oreshnik not so many😂

23% of a poll is hardly a mandate for anything. What a joke.
It seems to be in the parliamentary system.

What is kier starmer thinking !!!
VERY IMPORTANT : Do you know the downside of people who talk too much? Answer: They yearn for and prepare for the next meetings, and after the meetings, they feel proud and celebrate what was discussed.
Do you know the problem with people who talk too much? Answer: Because meetings and discussions fulfill their need to feel like a lot was achieved during the day, they always lag behind reality-what is actually happening in practice. These talkers then need to meet again because they are now one step behind in understanding what is going on in the real world, leaving them stuck in a cycle.
Every ineffective meeting means thousands more deaths and fewer successful outcomes, while the talkers continue their "pointless meetings."
When danger is at home (in private life), the talker does not convene a meeting; they act to protect their family. If, in other situations, they only want to hold meetings, it shows they "don’t truly care about those suffering as a result." So, what is their actual agenda?
Stop now and accept peace. Do not use the moment of attention on Ukraine to show off!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 poland stupid president creating his own nightmare. very arrogant but cannot defend his own territory. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ans then tout Ally will Come ans help You as they did in thé WW2 . To sell Every Things but more Expensive.

How do you just call Trump? Maybe it’ll clear up your uncertainty and end the drama. Also you could then work on strong facts instead of speculations.
Trump warned Europe in 2018 to begin taking the defense of Europe seriously, and contribute their mandated share of membership in NATO.
France will only now spend the mandated 2% GDP. That is the minimum required. They know what Trump will say. He warned them 6 years ago. They scoffed at him. It's too late now. America is done with European foolishness.
France will pay only the minimum because France knows the fighting will be in Poland and the Baltics. What does France care until Russia is approaching Paris?
If you want facts then probably just don't bother with the phone call with Trump..
@thenunbus I doubt Trump would answer the phone if they did call. Fight your own European wars.
@@slartybarfastb3648 it just seems like all day it’s been one drama after another. Being the amount of money that is coming from the United States it probably would be respectable to speak to one another as grown-ups. I don’t think people have the ability to do this anymore everyone is so selfish in their hearts just spewing anger instead of just stopping for a minute with an act of kindness.
@@tracykimber729 That conversation happened in 2018. European leaders practicly called Trump a nut for warning them about Russia.
He specifically called out Germany for making massive oil and gas deals with Russia while contributing less than half a percent of GDP to Europe's defense. The minimum contribution for NATO membership is 2 %.
Only Poland has met that that requirement for decades. Some times it's too late to talk.
12:00 ruSSia messing around again..
Wat. Load. Crap look. After. Own People first 😢
ruSSia did it
Poland is just too poor compare with the other 4 countries.
but poland have better military
i'm not sure if poland is that poor compared with italy, and in military there's no discussion
AMERICA HAS ALL THE MONEY AND IS WORTHLESS
@cristianmicu
I do not think $22k (poland) and $39k(italy) are similar.
@yhhjh9376
North Korea is military stronger than poland. So what? LOL.
Forget waiting America.
UK is a nuclear poweras well.
Warmongers The big five will not be in uniform.
lmao.. yea.. the warmongers are the ones who aren't currently invading another country and threatening Europe and attacking countries behind the scenes.. get bent.
