“I’m very glad that President Macron has called our leaders to Paris,” Sikorski said, adding that he expects the European leaders to discuss “in a very serious fashion” the challenges posed by U.S. President Donald Trump.

    They need to prepare to face the US as an economic and military rival. At the same time, their most effective push back needs to be targeted at US tech and media companies.

        Poland alone could wipe Russia right now. The EU is held back because it will start a nuclear war when Putin has troops coming for him.

          France has nuclear weapons under their direct control and Poland can beat Russia alone…

          So like does not this mean that EU is a nuclear powered state with capability to deny Russia Ukraine but they just like choosing not to do this because…

          Russia has nukes.

          Hmmm… interesting position EU… go on

          EU is limp dick and can’t manage Russian expansionist behavior on its own continent.

          Always some limp dick excuse, always deliveries too late. How long did even take Germany to finally recognize that Russia is indeed a threat? 6 months into invasion? and even then US still had to blow up nord stream 2 for Germany will get the message.

    Honestly, fixing this whole mess might be as simple as calling up Trump and offering him a bribe. Give him a hotel or something.

    Is Europe finally going step in and get Ukraine issue resolved with proper unconditional support?

    Because if Europe can’t get that done v Russia, wtf are they going do verses an Actual Global Empire albeit a declining hegemon?

    At some point, EU needs to do something that’s beyond limp dick meetings and online propaganda. We have been seeing this shit for like a decade, it is tiring seeing this “leadership”

    Ukraine issue is very hard to respect from an American perspective…

      Stop talking rubbish. EU countries help to Ukraine is 134 billion euros, so around the same or more than the US.

        Giving money and getting the job is two different thing, champ… Where are the results? Ukraine is on the back foot.

        Also, I don’t see any leadership from EU, every time Ukraine needs anything every EU country sitting there with dick in its hands waiting for Daddy Sam to do something.

      The shit is being shuffled, Canada does not have any other acceptable option lol

      unless you Russia or China is acceptable.

      Mexico, should be getting a seat at the table too. White House behavior is erratic which is un acceptable in Geo-political context. Go to protect your sovereignty, otherwise you are not a sovereign.
