As Henry Kissinger so honestly put it: “It may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal.”
Unless we start turning things around from the bottom up, America is going to leave its own people out to dry.
that’s already happening
One of our candidates for president has said it outright, and Republicans whine about helping Ukraine at every opportunity. If I were European, I wouldn’t be sure I could count on the U.S., either.
Imagine thinking that using Ukraine in a proxy war against Russia is helping. 🤦
The alternative is leaving them to get “special operationed” without any outside help, and then Poland or whoever Putin thinks he deserves to take land from is next, isn’t it?
This whole narrative that Russia wants more land has no basis in reality. In fact, Russia was perfectly fine with a neutral Ukraine, and tensions only started after the western backed coup happened. And even then Russia tried to find a peaceful solution for eight whole years. The reason the war happened was NATO expansion, but don’t take it from me. Here it is from the horse’s mouth. This is the head of NATO saying this openly and plainly:
The opposite happened. He wanted us to sign that promise, never to enlarge NATO. He wanted us to remove our military infrastructure in all Allies that have joined NATO since 1997, meaning half of NATO, all the Central and Eastern Europe, we should remove NATO from that part of our Alliance, introducing some kind of B, or second class membership. We rejected that.
So he went to war to prevent NATO, more NATO, close to his borders. He has got the exact opposite.

As a European, I’d say it is very much in America’s MO to come into a conflict all guns blazing and with lots of bluster, then get caught in a quagmire for an absurdly long time, then eventually randomly declare that they’ve won and just bail, with very little regard for whoever’s left still fighting who isn’t American.
It seems to happen with them pretty regularly, and for an example it was only about three years ago that they hurriedly pulled out of Afghanistan and abandoned the local translators to their fates with the Taliban.
With regards to Russia encroaching into Europe, could we be 100% certain that Trump won’t win the next election and start throwing favours to Putin? I’d say it’s certainly a possibility.
There is a reason why many global south do not trust America…
That’s the most beautiful webpage I’ve seen in a while. Looks like it barely uses JS for stuff like timezone, and menu. I know it’s not related to the topic, but I’m neither so…yeah.
Leave them high and dry to whom?
high and dry to deal with the consequences of the failed proxy war against Russia while US moved onto try and start a war with China
Why would Europe still be in danger?
because NATO keeps expanding eastwards
If Russia is so peaceful, why would countries want to join NATO?
You can just look at Georgia to see the answer of how countries join NATO. First, the US floods them with NGOs, and then installs a pro western regime. This is done in the open and it’s well documented, yet here you are.
I didn’t know Finland and Sweden got flooded by NGO’s. You know, the countries who actually joined NATO.
Ah yes, the famous referendums Finland and Sweden held to see if the public wanted to join NATO.
Doesn’t that show that a slight majority rates them “reliable”?
