Do any of these chicken-shit journalists that get to interview him ever throw his own shit back at him? NATO is a defense alliance. The war in Iran is illegal. NATO 'allies' weren't consulted. The US has repeatedly crapped all over Europe. He literally threatened to seize NATO territory by force. He's consistently done nothing but aid Putin in Russia. etc. etc. etc. GFY you utter \*\*\*t.

There's also the simple point that shooting an iranian doesn't come with any upside for the allies. Shit won't improve drastically because of another bombed school. trumps only demand of them is that they make the TACO function and let him pull out, so that he can go on to attack, degrade or defile something else. He is demanding the next big mac delivered, the next bribe, the next bit of hope that no nasty election will take it all away from him.

As a response france should say they can protect europe and will start by sending nukes to greenland and demand US withdrawal from the island

He also called NATO a paper tiger or whatever. Keep on raging, dude. It won't solve the problems you created yourself and your threats have become a blunt weapon after 14 months of hearing this c***. Do what you think you have to and with all due respect, f*** off.

Euphoric-Screen-9315 Apr 1, 2026 +5
If he thinks NATO is a paper tiger and worthless without the US, and that countries can just take what they feel like, the logical followup is invading Greenland in the very near future.

ScandiSom Apr 1, 2026 +6
Trump doesn't really need the Europeans/NATO, he just doesn't want to commit sufficient resources in this conflict, which in itself isn't unreasonable. Shouldn't have started this war.
6
Fastluck83 Apr 1, 2026 +3
Agreed. He also doesn't understand the purpose NATO as a defensive alliance instead of a group of vassal-states that follow the US into the pointless wars they start. To summarize: Not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Striking_Bad_7844 Apr 1, 2026 +3
'Just doesn't want' sounds like Trump could choose without consequences. He's not very bright, but I think his sense for the public opinion tells him, that committing sufficient resources and a significant increase of US casualties will cost a lot of votes in the upcoming midterms. As this is not an option for him at the moment he needed Europeans/NATO. It was the only c**** trick to get out of this mess.

Yeah, yeah yeah. We all know the US is no longer a friend. We're all for [Canada's plan](https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/mark-carney-speech-davos-rules-based-order-9.7053350). We all still really like the Canadians.

It was recently shown to no longer be a democracy. It’s what’s knows as an illiberal democracy. Has the appearances of democracy to legitimize its very undemocratic truth. I could go into details, but just a quick look at how McConnell stacked the Supreme Court with outright lies and manipulation is a good start.

All the European countries that followed America into disastrous wars in the Gulf, Iraq and Afghanistan - say thanks for nothing. How many times has the USA helped any European country in the same way in the last 80 years?

suspicious_ankles Apr 1, 2026 +10
> How many times has the USA helped any European country in the same way in the last 80 years? While you are correct that no NATO country other than the US has invoked Article 5 to demand military support, it's misleading to suggest that the USA hasn't helped Europe militarily. From the Berlin Airlift onwards to Ukraine today the US has been an important military contributor to European security. It's a shame the orange toddler wants to end it (temporarily). I suppose he'll have to start by repatriating all those American bases currently on European soil.

Yeah, that's the flip side of "What have European NATO countries ever done for the US?" That's what's happening at this very moment, but don't ignore the (fairly recent) history.

Are you suggesting the US hasn't helped Ukraine? That seems delusional.

Temporarily? European trust in the USA is now zero. That won't change much in the future...

>no NATO country other than the US has invoked Article 5 [The USA did not invoke Article 5](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001_NATO_Article_5_contingency), NATO did, without a request from the USA. The USA was quite skeptical of NATO's ability to help.

The US population expects defense of democracy, but biden would signed a treaty giving ukraine to putin on day one. They demanded zelensky to leave, kamala insisted on "government in exile" aka surrender. All the US elites on both sides believe in imperialism and "might is right", if not from public pressure the US would be selling russia weapons

suspicious_ankles Apr 1, 2026 +1
> biden would signed a treaty giving ukraine to putin on day one. Huh? That's obviously ridiculous, because he didn't do that. > They demanded zelensky to leave, kamala insisted on "government in exile" aka surrender. No, this is wildly misleading. The Biden administration suggested it, didn't demand it, at the start because they thought Putin would win quickly. I think pretty much every military expert thought the same.

Exactly. What exactly has the US done for UK and EU countries recently? Like genuinely, I’d like to know.

"Go there and take it"?! What the actual f***. The president of the United States is not only an international war criminal, he is openly exhorting other countries to start taking what they will. The US is a rogue state and in obvious opposition to the idea of rule of law.

Fochlucan Apr 1, 2026 +4
He has always believed in the do what you want and might makes right justifications.  That's why he's always had business and legal issues.  He takes money out of businesses for personal use, doesn't pay contractors if he doesn't feel like knowing they can't afford legal fees to force him to pay him, and then he files bankruptcy to end the debt/business.

CivilPersonality3162 Apr 1, 2026 +11
De-facto leaving NATO when he needs congress to actually leave? (as i remember there was a new law prohibiting the president to exit NATO) This has been his goal since he took office in 2016, so nothing new really. Krasnov delivers.

Threatening to not help Europe doesn't have an edge when you've already showed that you refuse to help Europe. US aid Ukraine has all but dried up. Most funding to support Ukraine is now done by other countries, with US milking said funding for personal war profits.

>The Suez Crisis,\[a\] also known as the second Arab–Israeli war,\[8\]\[9\]\[10\] the Tripartite Aggression\[b\] in the Arab world\[11\] and the Sinai War\[c\] in Israel,\[d\] was a British–French–Israeli invasion of Egypt in 1956. Israel invaded on 29 October, with the primary objective of re-opening the Straits of Tiran and the Gulf of Aqaba as the recent tightening of the eight-year-long Egyptian blockade further prevented Israeli passage.\[12\] After issuing a joint ultimatum for a ceasefire, the United Kingdom and France joined the Israelis on 31 October, seeking to depose Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser and regain control of the Suez Canal, which Nasser had nationalised earlier in the year. >Shortly after the invasion began, the three countries came under heavy political pressure from both the United States and the Soviet Union, as well as from the United Nations, eventually prompting their withdrawal from Egypt. >President Dwight D. Eisenhower strongly opposed the 1956 British and French military intervention in Suez, telling Prime Minister Anthony Eden that the action was a mistake that would destroy Western standing in the Middle East. He warned that the US would not support them, famously saying they should be left to "boil in their own oil" and threatened severe financial sanctions >Eisenhower argued that the Western alliance could not apply "one code of international conduct for those who oppose us—and another for our friends". He felt that justifying an act of aggression simply because it was committed by allies (Britain and France) against a "weak" nation (Egypt) would shatter the postwar structure and destroy the rule of law.

You support your friends, but also need to call out their bullshit when they're in the wrong. This is not a defensive war, and Trump is blaming his allies for not helping him... Even though they still did to quite some extent. Just not all the way...

Starmer just called this "noise", so that's a nice diplomatic f*** you. >Starmer said there's been "a good deal of pressure on me to change my position in relation to joining the [Iran] war, and I'm not going to change my position on the war. Whatever the pressure, whatever the noise, I am the British prime minister and I have to act in our national interests."

Rambaz_69 Apr 1, 2026 +6
If you look at how the U.S. under Trump is currently helping the Europeans and Ukraine, that says it all. Trump is selling American weapons and ammunition to the Europeans for use in Ukraine at a 10% markup. So the U.S. is currently profiting from the war in Ukraine. Does Trump want to put a stop to that?

What help are you when you can't defend Qatar? You can't defend Israel either which is what this impotent war was all about. You're inching closer to a 2% military budget every year. You're in rapid decline, the average American is an egocentric junkie who can't be bothered to vote. It's a free fall, man. Europe will be looking at China, even further weakening America. You can't shoot a paper airplane out of the skies without a hugely expensive interceptor.

ScandiSom Apr 1, 2026 +3
I dont know why (if they havent) been alarmed by the sky-high price of these interceptors meant to target missiles worth 100x to 1000x less. I guess one of the good things from this conflict is that it will accelerate the transition towards renewables.

Darth-mickyluv Apr 1, 2026 +3
Yeah, my faith in Trump and his clown show helping anyone but themselves is non-existent anyway. This is just his green light signal for Putin to do what he wants. As intended and so painfully and stupidly transparent. USA, just f****** do one. We'd rather not be friends with countries whose electorate put an actual criminal rapist, and a likely pedophile sociopath into power. Glad we cleared that up.

If we had representatives voting on this on our behalf, we wouldn't be whining for backup because none of this would've have happened. But yeah, let little king donnie do what he does because reasons. Once upon a time, the difference between a person and the gov was in law. If there's a law, you can't do it, no law and you can. For gov, if there's no law it can't do it. At least that's how it was in a representative democracy.
