Will Europe stop buying American weapons and develop their own alternatives? Probably not. Again.

Welcome back to the stage, Annoying Orange
Europeans are about to find out what Kissinger meant when he said that it may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal.
Europeans have already memory holed the Nordstream 2
US foreign policy didn't change when trump entered or left office last time. It won't this time. It's still going to be not good.
Oh sure, nothing changed with US foreign policy.
Except for starting trade wars with Canada, selling out the Kurds, trying to kill NATO, rehabilitating Russia, making a deal with ISIS, all the shit with Mexico...
Don't forget trying to start a war with Iran (and maybe Iraq too) by assassinating an intelligence head during a peace conference with Iraq.
selling out the Kurds
oh honey. selling out the Kurds is a fucking meme at this point
rehabilitating Russia
what arrogance to think that countries outside of America can't steer their own destiny
Please share with the class what you think Russia did to rehabilitate themselves to the rest of the world
Oh here I thought you were being serious and talking about the material conditions within Russia and their ability to exercise autonomy against the imperial hedgemon. You're on some baby brained fantasy shit about personal opinions you hold in the western sphere.
Well I can't argue with you there. Le epic ebil voldemort oral sex with a man bad guy
Well your last guy was a genocidal maniac with dementia; Americans need to realise that, from the perspective of foreigners, bloodthirsty aggression is bipartisan in the USA, and that Trump's main differences are in the domestic arena.
We do not care that "he's an orange".
Again. The morons did it again.
Explain. Why would a realisation be dawning just now?
Not necessarily right now, but once you connect the dots.
Since the last election, things basically went from "who needs a military anyway?" being a not that uncommon stance to a huge fucking war next door, hybrid attacks and a noticeable uptick in espionage. And today we were reminded that it's actually happening - our most important ally is now led by a maniac.
all of which happened under biden's administration so...
a huge fucking war next door, hybrid attacks and a noticeable uptick in espionage.
Thanks, Democrats!
And today we were reminded that it's actually happening - our most important ally is now led by a maniac.
...our most important ally ~~is now~~ has always been led by maniacs.
We're trading one ghoul for another. Even if you think it will get worse and don't think the Dems will deserve credit for what happens alongside the Republicans, never forget that it was the Democrats who made this possible. They could stop these things, but they don't. They don't even throw themselves in front of it as a speed bump.
Imagine stacking your national security on a country that can fundamentally change itself every 5 years
Europeans atm :
I don't get it.
It's liberals suddenly flipping to think the is the US is the bad guy now like they did in 2016 and showing how ignorant they are of US actions abroad for literally decades.
Or maybe now they're worried because they think the things they're fine with happening to brown people might creep over into affecting white Europeans negatively, 'cos it sure hasn't occured to them the genocide we were already endorsing for the past year.
A fascist orange felon who has had closed door meetings with tyrants.
closed door meetings with tyrants
Anyone in particular?
Putin. Try harder.
I get my news from here, I don't have to try. When was the meeting?
Ever heard of google?
No need to be rude
Ask stupid question, get stupid answers
I literally warned the smug Europeans that were mocking Americans that the US elections will absolutely affect them if the wrong people take power.
Watch M×sk and his dog fuck your shit up and make the corrupt officials in your governments bend to his will and fuck shit up from the inside from here on out. Because it's absolutely going to happen.
Good luck.
OK. What exactly did you want us to do with your warning? It's not like we got a vote...
Lol you knob, go do something about your politics instead of "warning smug Europeans" on a obscure forum
I don't take glee in the fact, you weirdo.
What a weird conclusion to jump to.
make the corrupt officials in your governments bend to his will and fuck shit up from the inside
As opposed to what's been happening for decades now?
Trump is going to demand billions in cash donated to his personal bank account, from every country on earth. He just takes in $170 today from businesses paying him bribes.
170 billion dollars or 170 dollars?
Hey apple, hey apple
I'm more concerned with the military leadership. Without the competence and conscience of a good head the body dies
