One reason why USD are so strong and why USA can live on borrowed money is because USA has been protecting the existing world trade and democracy. If USA would stop doing that, the USD will fail.

[fitycalibre]

As an American, I am ashamed of half of our country who think we should rescind our NATO membership and stop our funding of Ukraine. Absolutely shameful. We are stronger together🇺🇸🇺🇸

Europe needs to define it's own path and not constantly depend / follow the United States... wake up!!!

50 years ago, the U.K. spent 6% per capita on defense. Today, less than 2% on defense. Time to wakey wakey.

They offered Zelensky a ride out, he asked for ammunition, he and Ukrainian army and supporters are hero’s, please we can not fail them, and they won’t fail us

Best not to rely on America with wannabe despots like trump abt ... 🥶

[mikejung]

If america elects trump, then all I can say is you deserve every bit of him.

NATO needs to work out how to stop itself being slowly de-militarized by Russia
😂

The potential Trump Presidency is far from a done deal. Although many Republican’s are not vocal about how they see Trump in a second term, and the media covers massive support for him; the voters will be the ones to decide his second tour of duty at the Mar o Lago golf course…. 🤫

finally, a thumbnail I fully support.
there is no time for child play our lives and livelihood are at stake.

"Force change on the southern border" he means secure it lol

[basslinejunkie]

Nato prepares for Trump! by doing what they promised many years ago :P

In 1984 Britain was at 5.5 of GDP spent on the military. It's time to get it back to that level and more. Seriously foreign aid, net zero, Ukrainian financial/hardware support all has to go. We need a period of serious military investment and rebuilding. Too much money sent overseas.

[robertschriek]

Europe must learn to stand on its own. Its as simple as that

[PaulaTerryLancaster]

'Get it's [sic] act together'? My word, it's distressing to see how far the once-venerable Times has fallen!

[grisall]

The Senate approved the aid package. It's 8 people in the house. Actually 1 person, Mike Johnson, who is blocking the aid

[VJ-ltuk]

Do they just bring anybody on to opine about war and diplomacy?

[rikkys]

Glide bombs are not dumb bombs. they're gps guided.

In 2022, The US Congress approved a lend-lease bill for Ukraine. It created an 18-month window for Ukraine to apply and required the first repayment in 2071 if not forgiven before then. That opportunity expired at the end of September 2023. Ukraine never applied.

who gave nato the status of running europe? i never voted for somebody proclaiming weapons are the way to peace.
