Yes.

I also remember Trump stating we have never been closer due to the actions of the below:

In reality, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Victoria Nuland started this war when they overthrew Ukraine's government in 2014.

We'll all be vaporized while Little Lady Lindsey Graham is in a bunker drinking tea and putting on makeup.

That's the part that pisses me off the most. We had no business overthrowing Ukraine's govt at all. Now look this mess

No doubt to me Putin waited until Biden got in office he was going to make them pay.

In defense of Trump, I just want to point out:

Trump, 4yrs - not a career politician, no new wars, no war with Russia or China on the horizon, best economy in history (for a time at least, I know)

Biden & DC establishment - career politicians, 2yrs and our economy is trashed, country looks like it is about to fall apart in a literal way, division among citizens never higher since the Civil War, Russia & China (and others) are now in a full blown alliance, and we are headed to nuclear catastrophe.

Well, I guess this is what we get when adults are back in charge, right?

Lucky us.

How about deploying a fraction of that many troops to the US Southern border?
I know; silly me.

Post that pic next to one of many cities now completely flattened in the Ukraine and the caption should read "imagine if this happened under Trump".

Nope, we can’t do this. This doesn’t make any sense.

Almost every Nato country in Europe has passed significant increases in defense budgets. Everyone who has complained about Europes lack of commitment should stop complaining because Putin has single handily strengthened Nato. This is what Trump wanted remember.

Did you read the article? The Twitter quote is not what the article said. It is talking about building up the readiness with the ability to move up to 300,000 troops and equipment into the area. It is a push to get countries to have the standing armies and equipment stockpiles necessary for defense which is lacking now. The whole Europe pays its fair share thing.

quote:

In the coming months, the alliance will accelerate efforts to stockpile equipment along the alliance’s eastern edge and designate tens of thousands of forces that can rush to allies’ aid on short notice — a move meant to stop Russia from expanding its war beyond Ukraine.

To make that happen, though, NATO must convince individual countries to contribute various elements: Soldiers, training, better infrastructure — and, most notably, extensive amounts of pricey weapons, equipment and ammunition.

With countries already worried about their own munitions stockpiles and Ukraine in acute need of more shells and weapons from allies, there is a risk that not all NATO allies will live up to their promises to contribute to the alliance’s new plans.

“If there’s not somebody hosting the potluck and telling everybody what to bring, then everyone would bring potato chips because potato chips are cheap, easy to get,” said James J. Townsend Jr., a former U.S. deputy assistant secretary of defense for European and NATO policy.

“Nations,” he added, “would rather bring potato chips.”

It’s a challenge NATO has faced in the past, and one that experts fear could become a persistent problem for the Western alliance as Russia’s war drags into a second year. While the U.S. and EU are making plans to source more weapons — fast — the restocking process will inevitably take time.

That could run into NATO’s aspirations. Military leaders this spring will submit updated regional defense plans intended to help redefine how the alliance protects its 1 billion citizens.

The numbers will be large, with officials floating the idea of up to 300,000 NATO forces needed to help make the new model work. That means lots of coordinating and cajoling.

“I think you need forces to counter a realistic Russia,” said one senior NATO military official, underscoring the need for significantly “more troops” and especially more forces at “readiness.”

Our biggest enemy is in DC. Parents and friends should be discouraging all young adults from enlisting in the military. No southern man should fight for the Globalist who are working directly against his fiscal and free speech interests.

Trump could literally pick up the phone his first day in office and fix this shite in ten minutes.

Just bud all the young males from the southern border of America crossing over for just one month and they have all the help they need. Do for a year and it’ll help American people as well

Trump wanted to deploy troops to the US border and this was somehow "proof" that he was unfit for the office, yet those same people will clap and bark like trained seals if FJB does this for Ukraine.

So you and the other downvoters don’t want the European NATO members to be stronger and pull their weight?
