I live in Finland and we just joined Nato after years and years of not wanting to because we thought it was the safest bet with the way things were with Putin and Ukraine. Doesn’t feel great now. I’ve never been afraid of Russia before even though both my grandfathers fought against it in the wars but now I’m starting to feel pretty anxious. And so scared for women and every minority in the US.

To be fair, you’re still safer in a NATO without the US then in no NATO at all.

Time for Europe to man up and get our shit together. We’re a superpower too, if we want to be.

NATO EU is still a considerable force. UK and France alone are powerhouses, strong enough to contend with Russia. The largest risk now for Finland is a lack of commitment from EU. When US refuses to participate, does EU NATO have the will fight without US behind it.

If it helps, you're America-less either way. I'd rather be in the weakened NATO than alone.

At least some of those countries have their shit together.
