Funny, you do realize Trump wants to make peace to get gas prices down and his buddy Orban has a pipeline to Russia. Hungary is also part of the new belt and road of China. Orban took a 3 billion from China, took BYD factories and has a joint task force with Chinese police and allowed a Chinese university in Hungary. Orban should be Orban's biggest enemy.
The idea that the only problem is Trump is deeply and utterly flawed. The need for EU-level self-reliance has been obvious for decades as the attitude and degeneration of the US has continuously progressed. It is time to admit that there are serious systemic issues which will only keep getting worse regardless.
Yes, there needs to be a joint European military. You can't have every country having all three branches and all different types of arms and equipments.
Omg I was coming to make the same comment. The US is not Europe’s friend. Europe has a war on its doorstep for the second time in 10 years and each time it was NOT Trump but his opponents who stoked the war from the West. Wake tf up!
Perhaps, but Trumps failings are what is highlighting Europe's need to be able to stand on its own militarily I have been saying all along that it is difficult for a politician to convince the public to spend on defense in times of peace and for decades the United States has been the guarantor of peace for much of the world. Not just Europe Trump just made everyone stop and think that the United States may not be as reliable as they have thought in the past Which has eroded our influence and standing globally in my opinion A friend that you can't rely on is not really your friend
This will make the west extremely powerful. More Euro Nato spending and the USA saving money to create even stronger weapons and tech to share with Nato and obviously still come to Europes aid if they get in a survival situation with the East.
sure, and without america military you will be speaking german now. learn your history and amercas marshall plan to rebuild your countries. you will thank trump someday when you learn to stand on your own.
Hmmm... That would be Germany. Not EU. And only cause it lost WW2, so there are documents THAT BANNED Germany to become a nuclear superpower. Germany could easily have 1000 nukes of it's own. EASILY.
@@jptrainor You can easily exclude France from that. If you know literally anything about the post WW2 history. Also EU had an EASY wins in trade wars vs George W Bush in 2002 and vs Trump in 2017/18. Try something better, more convincing.
I like how Europe has to clarify that it isn't a vassel of US. When you have to clarify something like this, isn't it already too late to stand on equal ground?
There's exactly ZERO USA soldiers in France. And France even left the NATO in the MIDDLE of the cold war in 1966 and didn't come back all the way till 2009. That's HOW MUCH France really NEEDS USA or NATO. Not much! There's nothing to clarify for the rest of the EU really. Just follow the example of France! Germany could become nuclear power like France too. In no time at all. They got absolutely everything NEEDED to do so. Scientists, materials, know how, everything. But it choosed not to. They even ditched their own nuclear powerplants ffs. Germany was and still is THE biggest problem of Europe, talking about sovereignity! Germany becoming what France is militarilly would solve almost everything for the EU's sovereignity. But after losing the WW2 there were even some documents that flat out BANNED Germany to become nuclear power. If i were German government i would stop carring about those documents some 30-40 years ago. World needs to go on from the WW2 times already and EU needs to be able to defend itself from Russia, USA, China...With subjugated Germany it's just not possible.
Russian trolls continually try to portray the relationship between the EU and the US as a vassal state. It's because these trolls have never known anything different.
Europe needs to defend itself and invest much more in the militairy so we are no longer relying on the US. That will give us a far better position and safety. We also should start our own militairy industry. not only for cutting costs again also to stop depending on America. Trump showed that we no longer can trust the US.
Europe does not natural resources and economy is declining. Only cooperation with Russia again can bring EU prosperity and ability to resist USA and China dominance.
Absolutely, Europe needs to be self sufficient and taking care itself than relying on the USA. Taking care your own home, don’t rely on anyone, nobody loves you more than you are. Above all, please stop asking for more money. USA has its own problems to solve. Thank you very much. 😀
Hard for the EU to do that decades ago, when it was only a trade alliance at the time 😂 EU is still evolving and its true we do it slowly. Mainly because we don't want to become something like the USA, but we do want to work together. So we need to find a better way than the US for independent countries to work together without losing too much sovereignty.
No they don't want to think like that, they only think of hegemony, the mentality that had left them as vassals to a country. Imagine a who do called richest continent being controlled by a country oceans away
To find yourself, think for yourself: By Socrates, this quote suggests that finding oneself is also finding one's independence. Independence and self reliance is not bad thing.
EU should plan for a fallback position in case Trump winning the election in the fall. Matter of fact, it is advisable that EU to lessen the dependency on the US as a whole. Don't burn the bridges with tràdes with any BRICS countries.
Yeah sure, but what you don´t understand is that decoupling from US reliance is a long progress, not just in security but also economically and business wise.

It looks like the EU and Germany have mostly increased their economic, security and energy dependency on true United States over the last few years allowing themselves to get dragged into geopolitical conflicts caused by the US through illegal and destructive wars and illegal extraterritorial sanctions to maintain its global economic and military dominance although the US only represents 4% of the world population.

So, having allowed itself to be manoeuvred into this highly dependent position, the EU is in a bad place to deal with a possible Trump presidency.

Europe is a strong millitary power. The only problem is that we dont work closely enough together. We could save a lot of money if we did so. Both in terms of purchasing, producing, and just simple cooperation. I think people often forget that we have many of the top 20 countries in the world in europe. It's just not united as the US. which makes them seem small. Some countries need to increase spending, but more than 2/3 is at 2% or more. So we need to start to figure out how to work together.
@icu17siberia you have no idea what you talk about. After the war with Ukraine, Europe's army is as strong as russia. That's not counting the US, that was already stronger before the war. We learned a lot from this war and that is russia is much weaker millitary and economical than we thought.

If Europeans are uneasy about the fact that Trump is returning, that means he did a great job. He's making Europeans pay their fair share for NATO and security
Though i agree that the 2% should be met, that decision was made during Obama, Trump has nothing to do with it. The issue is that he really doesn't know or understand how Western economy is build and destabilizes it, also undemocratic rhetorics isn't very good, specially at the moment. Europeans being uneasy about USA isn't really a good thing either, you are talking about world's largest economy rethinking the relations between EU and USA, do you think pushing a wedge on those relations with weird decisions based on lies is a good thing? For example during his last term he was yapping about that EU has larger tariffs towards USA than other way around, then he began tariff war with EU. In reality it was other way around, USA had higher overall tariffs against EU. Also he was talking about making US. car industry great again while he placed higher tariffs on steel from EU. Not that it matters for EU but US. car industry is the largest customer for EU's steel, namely special steels you can get only from Europe. Do you see the issues? He makes decisions based on.... nothing.

The life expectancy of Americans is actually shrinking. the number is actually getting smaller. Remind me again why we are paying the military costs for extremely rich countries such as Germany, Norway, etc. meanwhile what is it like a something like 30 or 40 percent of Americans are dying from diseases of despair
We need to Exit nato and bring that money home to repair our own problems 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

Europe has been free riding for another 4 years, time to pay the bill.
What bill? What free riding when Europe has literally given more than the US to Ukraine?
@@pomperidus why mention Ukraine? The mess is in Europe and has nothing to do with US.
US BASE AND TROOPS SHOULD GET OUT OF EUROPE
The leave your military bases
@sisy13 your terms are acceptable
Germany industrial straggling because of expensive energy, Germany shoot themselves in the heart, Russia and Germany relation will never recover. EU their biggest mistake was following USA ideology
Trump warned Germany not to rely on Russian energy. Germany ignored Trump's advice. Now enjoy the consequences!
@@chanceriordan Trump is a business he wanted Grmany to buy USA LNG gas lol , Germany was EU economy power because of Russia cheap energy , do you know who took the opportunity, China & India they secure their cheap Russia oil & gas , Germany industrial is straggling because of expensive energy, Germany is nothing without cheap energy & that door is closed forever
"He could be back." NOT IF I CAN HELP IT! Swing State Michigander here. Voting Blue up and down the ticket!!! GO HARRIS!!!

Ridiculous
13:24 If he strikes you have to strike back. If he's nice you have to be nice. If he hits, you have to avoid his blows, but be extremely nice.
14:36 You have to treat him as an equal, without insulting him, or questioning his competence
Be careful with the distrusted two face people. Beware and do not trust those two face leaders. They are wolves in sheep skin.

The USA should exit NATO. This would make both Americans and europeans happy. Its a win win for both sides.
If only there was a continent wide union.
Europe is a strong millitary power. The only problem is that we dont work closely enough together. We could save a lot of money if we did so. Both in terms of purchasing, producing, and just simple cooperation.
I think people often forget that we have many of the top 20 countries in the world in europe. It's just not united as the US. which makes them seem small.
Some countries need to increase spending, but more than 2/3 is at 2% or more. So we need to start to figure out how to work together.
@icu17siberia you have no idea what you talk about.
After the war with Ukraine, Europe's army is as strong as russia.
That's not counting the US, that was already stronger before the war.
We learned a lot from this war and that is russia is much weaker millitary and economical than we thought.
Hello DWTV, I think every country should have it's own Court in the Embassy to try Aliens in respect of offences against their home countries especially Treasonable Felony offences, human trafficking, drugs, or other offences that tarnishes the image of their respective home countries. If found guilty, they be deported. This should not only be restricted to Europe.
No worries, you will lose Mr Trump
That did not age well
This cameraman is good with the hand shots
Regardless , who wins it is clearly in europe's best interests to not rely on us
Of course europe just has to deal with getting trump again! U wouldnt expect this report to say anything differently! Canada and trump haters like myself are the only ones who will be in panic mode if trumps reelected!
I wouldn't count on it.
Any more than you can count on Europeans to do anything at all for Americans in return. We should have ended transatlantic relations decades ago.
I would

Europeans need to look after themselves
As a green and progressive socialist I support Von der Leyens ambitions EU must cooperate with LAIA, ASEAN, AU, India, Japan, The Arab League, and The Commonwealth - and then let The World see whether it'll be Xi or Trump who outlives the other and keep on to the ambition of a fair world order
trump is going to get crushed in November. Absolutely crushed.
By who? Sources?
Why are you looking to America for answers ?
Either way with America whomever is their president, Europe needs its own army one not beholden to the USA or Russia, even perhaps in alliance with African nations
@@icu17siberia no way
They are not to be trusted either from the global south
At least not yet
America first at last 🇺🇸🇺🇸 it’s time for Europe to be self-reliant
Get ready Deutschland start buying our cars or start paying your fair share in taxes!! I been to Berlin and i rarely see American Auto's, here in America there's German cars everywhere. Your cars are more expensive to repair than American cars so don't say all our automobiles are junk quatsch!
You Americans are buying a lot of Japanese and Korean cars. A lot!
Europe needs to align itself with China for peace and economic prosperity ...and then tell The US warmonger to hit the road Jack..
China is a much worse partner for Europe than the US. If you think the US is bad, try Xi. Putin has just found out, to his horror, what it means to be dependent on China.
In your wildest Mohammad dreams
No vote for Trump
Save lives? After Bucha? The gall of those creatures!
Better call it europe’s love -hate relationship with neofascisme .
Prefer to call the things by their name so people get a clear choice in how they want to deal with the situation.
Neofascisme , trump/ putin/iran/orban/bolsanaro etc. Not extreem right/ kleptocracy or so , just call it what it is .Neofascisme 😕
...
I truly believe with all the investigation on trump and his family that trump was the most honest politician to ever walk the face of the earth. Trump was the best president the world has ever seen. Trump should be a forever president. There should be a world president who all the other presidents need to answer to and trump should be that world president. Trump is a true boss man how could you not love him ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ Trumps face should be the new face of the hundred dollar bill. Trump has the courage and the confidence of a mountain lion. We love you trump
Detective of Money Politics is following this very decisive power play cheers VK3GFS 73s Frank
2016 Trump was the threat for world peace ! 2024 the same mainstream media says that Trump is a threat for democracy ! 😂😂😂greetings from Portugal
Which is all true.
finally, a pureblood white aryan german sounding woman doing news report, great to see Modi Welle!
Prepare for the worst and hope for the best. HARRIS 2024 not trump project 2025
Honestly I'm European and I don't mind Trump.
The video editor always wanted to work on art projects but they only gave him news… That is why he is trying those weird extreme close up cuts to hands and eyes….
How sarcastic is the French opinion regarding European autonomy in military aspects than the US given the US saved France A…se twice!
Look lady, we don't have a love/hate relationship with Trump, we just plain 100% hate him.
Without the capacity to defend itself, the EU is essentially poor already and will only get poorer.
😂 there must be some Germans with personality that can form a relationship with the Orange guy.
Juncker is cool 😎
It's simple, really: Trump wants Europe to be a partner, but Europe seems content to remain an American protectorate. The idea that Trump wants Europe to pull its weight and honour its obligations is actually offensive to them.
Why not with mike pence lol😅
US has not obligation to defend EU,EU have to increase their military expenses until they can deal with latent intrusion lonely.This is a rational requirement.
Looking at the geopolitics of today,we need someone who can make hard and unpopular decisions like trump
DW do journalism, not push your opinions. a kid after watching your videos can see your pessimistic approach towards a lot of countries. and now DW is getting pessimistic with candidates ?
Since the US Supreme Court immunity ruling, dealing with Trump is really easy. Make him a personal offer.
Needs to be slightly more than the 2 Billion the Saudis gave Jared Kushner. Trump’s ego would implode otherwise.
If Europeans are uneasy about the fact that Trump is returning, that means he did a great job. He's making Europeans pay their fair share for NATO and security
Though i agree that the 2% should be met, that decision was made during Obama, Trump has nothing to do with it. The issue is that he really doesn't know or understand how Western economy is build and destabilizes it, also undemocratic rhetorics isn't very good, specially at the moment. Europeans being uneasy about USA isn't really a good thing either, you are talking about world's largest economy rethinking the relations between EU and USA, do you think pushing a wedge on those relations with weird decisions based on lies is a good thing? For example during his last term he was yapping about that EU has larger tariffs towards USA than other way around, then he began tariff war with EU. In reality it was other way around, USA had higher overall tariffs against EU. Also he was talking about making US. car industry great again while he placed higher tariffs on steel from EU. Not that it matters for EU but US. car industry is the largest customer for EU's steel, namely special steels you can get only from Europe. Do you see the issues? He makes decisions based on.... nothing.
Vote Tump!!! 2024 MAGA
It's not hard to figure out a prick once you hear one.
Is there any truth to the rumour that Vlad Putin was edited out of the thumbnail picture for this video ?
You've been working on this video for months and you had to post it but we all know he's already lost the American elections 👏😄
Yeah, we all know Dems are stealing the vote
An America under Trump goes its own way. Europe should go its own way too.

Trump is the same guy that was a joke president for an Eminem skit & a joke part of WWE...look up "Donald Trump attacks McMahon! WWE " & have a laugh with me. When you look at that, he's just acting like he's still comic relief in the WWE...but he thinks it's real! LMAO.
