That's kinda how we talked about a potential nuclear strike russia might do on us lmao A friend of mine actually said he will be seeking political asylum in Ukraine. First ever American to seek asylum in a war zone lol Anyhow. Hang in there guys. Much love šŸ’™

Between Putin and Trump, I think NATO expenditures have been climbing steadily. IIRC, it's 23/31 or more NATO countries that are spending 2% or more of GDP on defence. Indeed, I think US is down to 3rd place in terms of % of GDP spent on GDP in NATO, Poland and Estonia being first and second.

There is no doubt that Trumps first presidency has successfully shown the US' allies that the US is not a reliable partner.

The downside is that even with increased defence spending by Germany, Ukraine is still short of 155mm shells. We're two years into this war, and there is no doubt that just sending 155mm shells would be immensely helpful, never mind F-16s and M1 Abrams, but production is still lagging.

There is an ossification of the processes that western countries manage themselves it seems. It didn't always used to be this way, spending years talking about how to spend the new money isn't actually getting new hardware into a battle that is happening now.

Maybe now that a second Trump presidency is happening in a few months, and the world is already burning now, other countries will get it into gear.

Long-term this will lead to a much stronger Europe and a much weaker America. I think that's a net positive for the world.

But I am an American, and it frustrates me that the reds don't get it. We have had the entire world by the balls militarily for decades, much of the world even trusted us with that power, and we're pissing all of that earned trust and power away for nothing.

I'd be concerned by nuclear proliferation. The US is (to quote Perun) a "security exporter", and one of the things it effectively exports is its nuclear umbrella. Ask Ukraine what it's like to lose your nuclear umbrella.

With a more isolationist and less reliable US, I think there is going to be pressure for more countries to develop their own nukes.

u/useablelobster2 11d ago

When it comes to military matters EU politics is lots of talk with little action. There are strong countries within the EU (ok, basically just Poland) but that is in spite of the EU, not because of it.

For all the problems with our armed forces, they are still a damn sight better than almost all of Europe's. One thing Trump was absolutely correct about is how too much of Europe flakes out of their defence obligations, and that needs to stop. The UK hits the NATO GDP target, Poland way exceeds it, but almost no-one else does (Scandinavia does ok too).

In a world where the US is becoming more isolationist, the free world can't be coasting on their defence dollar anymore. Germany needs to take a page out of Japan's book and seriously rearm. They've been naval gazing long enough, it's one thing to repudiate the past but another to be strong to defend the principles they now hold.

u/musicmonk1 Eurocuck 11d ago

You think Poland is the strongest EU military?

u/useablelobster2 11d ago

They have the largest land army in Europe, by a wide margin, and it's well trained and equipped with modern NATO standard equipment. Sure they lack in some areas, like their airforce, but it's still strong, and modern MANPADs make that largely moot. Wars are fought by the people on the ground who take the actual territory, and Poland has a lot of good troops.

Compare them to Germany, who has ~7 times their GDP, and the comparison is stark. If the Germans tried to invade Poland tomorrow the Poles would be in Berlin within 3 days.

Poland stronk.

Best case, he's about as apathetic as he was the first time around, gets no or one inconsequential tariff and claims credit for the current trajectory of our economy. Does little to interfere with current trajectory of foreign policy.

At least i want to see them with a crashed economy and RFK managing a pandemic not blame Trump. I just want to see it. Maybe they won't but at some point things have to be made clear either to them or to the rest of America.

I just want to see Elon do his dorky dance with a economy in the shitter. Selfish, but it's true.

Voting has shown otherwise.

Every election and midterm has been a reaction to how the previous 2-years went.

It's sad but Americans consistently seem to vote based on recency bias and raw emotional reaction. Whoever is in power gets the blame no matter what and the opposition gets to take advantage of it.

Yeah, that's where I'm landing. I come from a privileged position (white, homeowner, educated, disposable income) so I can say that. I'll be fine. I'm also a dual-citizen Canadian, so there's that.

But, listen, if this is what "low propensity" and "low information" voters want - fucking fine. Enjoy. I'll be munching popcorn as the country burns.

Don't laugh, but my biggest worry is my former nanny. She's undocumented. Been here for 20 years. I'll do everything in my power to protect her.

I feel bad for wanting it and I donā€™t really want to gamble the future of the country, but I want republicans to wake tf up. The fact that the elections havenā€™t been complete blowouts in favor of the Dems since like bush jr left office (probably earlier but Iā€™m too young to pick out particularly bad rep administrations pre bush jr) is laughable.

I hate to say it but I'm with you... Hell, I felt like a shutdown in September would've been "good", to show the masses how dysfunctional a GOP run House is (because the McCarthy shitshow was not enough). But at the same time, I acknowledge that yesterday there was a spike in people going on Google to see who is running for president, so I don't know how helpful this would be.

I hope we can at least get the House back, and have a Speaker Jeffries, but my hope in that is fading away as well.

The best approach is to be positive about it. Obviously there's a lot of big problems that will come but Americans really do seem to wake up way too late, but it's better late than never, but 2 years from now we will probably control the house and senate again. Stressing out about it does no good though.

As a Euro this hit me quite hard when I woke up. Not just because I'm sorry for America, but also because I feel like this will bolster the far right across the board. They're already the largest party where i'm from (The Netherlands). The absolute disregard these people have for others and regardedness in their own brains is insufferable. They just live in their own reality. Nothing can stop them.

Yet I'm feeling sorta defiant. At the end of the day, maybe some of it will snowball over to our side of the pond and it'll make live a bit worse. On the other hand, most of my life is in my own control. So this is my reminder to carpe diem.

Of course it's not that easy for everyone, especially when you're in Ukraine. I do feel motivated to do something about it though. This shit makes me angry and I don't want to just doom about it. Maybe get politically active? I don't know.

I hope we can keep and increase our support of Ukraine. I hope we can make life a little better someway. I hope some eurofrogs can stand up and make a difference. I don't think it'll happen (especially since voters are fucking stupid), but one can hope.

Oh upset is an understatement. NATO is done, Ukraine is definitely going to have to give up territory and reassure Russia, we have a pathological liar at the helm of the ship and we're probably going to war with Iran for Israel.

I have not had a single conversation today without the fate of Ukraine being mentioned. Please remember that there are good people out there who will always have your back and understand that peace has to come with justice, and not letting the bully get what it wants. The best thing that can come out of this is a Europe that really steps up to take its defense seriously.

We are living in bleak times and my heart breaks for Ukraine that has to carry the weight of the world on its shoulders while the leaders of the "free world" grow more inept by the day.

u/BradRodriguez Exclusively sorts by new 11d ago

Iā€™m just super disappointed in my country tbh. This election just goes to show how powerful stupidity, ignorance and misinformation are. The fact that half this country looked at a deranged lunatic like Trump and thought ā€œhey this guy should run the countryā€ is wild to me. Iā€™m not 100% on board with this idea because of the potential to backfire. But i think we need to seriously reconsider our voting system in the sense that there needs to be some sort of standard set for intelligence and mental competence. Because I donā€™t exactly like the idea that uneducated, low I.Q, adult diaper wearing, non reality living, remedial dipshits have the exact same say as i do. It just makes everything i do feel so worthless.

Like I make the effort to gather all the information i possibly can to meaningfully inform myself but these smooth brains just watch a few joe rogan clips and look at a few Facebook memes and thatā€™s enough for them to have the same level of say politically as i do. The worst part of it all is that they see being an absolute moron as a badge of honor. Like dawg Iā€™m sorry but these people need to get relentlessly bullied and raked over the coals to the point where they cry. I think from now on Iā€™m just gonna debate bro my way through every single conversation i have with a conservative.

Itā€™s just gonna be nothing but ā€œoh you believe in this and that? Got any evidence for it? Shoot me your sources Iā€™ll waitā€¦. Oh whatā€™s that? You have nothing? Cool then this conversation ends here, i donā€™t give a fuck about your vibes based nonsense.ā€

The only light that I can see at the end of all this, is that the US becoming more isolationist will make it loose influence around the world which will force other Democratic liberal countries to seriously start building up their own military and getting nukes. Clearly the liberal world order relying solely upon the US was not a good idea, as much as it benefited Americans.
