LOL.
Until U.S. foreign policy is no longer dictated by the Kremlin, the U.S. can get fucked.
As an American citizen. I support this message.
it's so weird being like "hey foreign invaders. i'll help y'all out. i'm down for bing a canadian province. or maybe the netherlands, france, or spain can reclaim their claims? i'm also down to arm native americans. i'm very flexible. i'm just not okay with this"
That's what happens when your country falls to Nazism. Anything else would be better.
Land Back has always been a valid option
and i'm in serious support of it to be clear
Why would it change after that? They've clearly demonstrated they intend to just stab their allies in the back the second a bit of cash gets wiggled in front of their snouts.
Uh, what the fuck did these geniuses think would happen? Repeatedly kick every one of our allies in the balls, and....then what? Things continue just status quo in every other aspect?
Probably one of the top 10 Trump moments so far from the Oval Office “ we are going to make less capable aircraft for our allies. In case they aren’t our allies anymore in the future you never know.”
He literally turns everything that he touches into shit. He is like the shit version of king Midas.
Somebody said Mierdas
right from putins mouth, it has alot buzzwords used by putin.
A bully never expects to be bullied right back
Foreign countries do not just roll over to Donald Trump like American institutions do it seems
To be fair. That's what's basically been happening over the past 50 years. Just look at how we let Russia walk all over us. So it kinda makes sense for them to expect the same outcome.
Their only problem is that since Europe is basically on its own now, Europe has to choose for european produce. We can deal with one shitty dictatorship trying to push us around. But now its two shitty dictatorships so yeah that kinda changes things around (finally).
That is exactly what these numb nut dipshits expected.
If America can go America first, then so should the EU.
"We don't need other countries!"
"Hey, you other countries can't do that, we need you!"
Dear Mr. Rubio
Please gently fornicate yourself.
I don’t want a singe euro-cent of my taxes spent in the American industry.
You reap what you sow.
Huh, it's almost like EU powers have seen the problem with having an unpredictable outsider control thier means of defense.
Imagine trying to preflight your fancy F35 and seeing the Tesla, "please wait for update" screen.
Did they not just ask Europeans to up our defense spending? Getting a lot of mixed messages here.. Fools.
They meant they wanted Europe to buy a bunch of overpriced American fighter jets
Get fucked military industrial complex. Reap what you sow.
Another "illegal boycott" to them, I'm sure.
Hey USA you know how the saying goes: "Be careful what you ask for, you might get it."
Now Europe is arming itself like you asked. So kindly fuck off and be happy, that you got what you asked for.
boo. fuckin. hoo.
you did it to yourselves. now. could you please stop deporting my neighbors? between the Ukrainians who got deported from my town and the rich white conservatives, i woulda rather deported the rich white conservatives
Deport maga to Russia where they already have the government they want!
Sounds to me like the US government has been thoroughly infiltrated by corporations only interested in their own profit. How dare other countries not pay billions to American corporations??
But we knew this already.
The amount of mixed signals coming from this administration is insane.
Like you want to tariff us but if we fight back you say nah fam not like that.
America should be shunned out of society and can make deals with Russia and North Korea.
It’s about time people saw America for the bullies they are and sever ties with them.
Cunts.
It is logical if you accept that america has a fascist government. That is how fascism works, put pressure on other countries, bully them and if they do not comply you can point to them for politcal gain. After a while of "warning" and pretending that the other countries are enemies (all so your population gets riled up) you can start wars.
The amount of mixed signals coming from this administration is insane.
No, seems pretty straightforward. It's simply "we'll tariff-whip you into submission and make you buy our shit"
"isn't there someone you forgot to ask" vibes
Whiny man babies. “I’m gonna punch you in the gut just cause I’m a dick. Why aren’t you still buying my weapons???”
There are no patent limitations on manufacturing M16s. It's a solid, proven, affordable design. Europe is a manufacturing powerhouse, with plenty of superb weapons manufacturers who don't even need to use Stoner's design. They risk absolutely nothing.
Why would Europe manufacture M16s? HK416s are superior, in that most NATO armies, including the US has adopted it.
Because it's free. H&K is expensive. I imagine they still hold parents on the HK416 and might prevent other manufacturers from making them. No such restrictions exist for the M16 or AR-15 anymore. While the HK416 may well be superior, there's nothing wrong with the AR that hasn't been addressed for years. And it might send a bit of a message if Europe starts building a bunch of them.
Nah, as an American, fuck the US government and US arms dealers. They don't get to fuck over our allies and demand profit out of them in the war machine they keep moving. Especially with them joining the axis of evil and aiding Israel's genocide of Palestine.
The EU should put massive tariffs on American exports, and double those on weapons.
Surprised Pikachu face moment.
What were they expecting? They've clearly showed to the world how quickly they can turn against their allies over nothing. Nobody will want to rely on them for their defense.
Oh so that was trumps play, he wanted us to specifically buy THEIR weapons to arm ourselves because that helps THEIR economy once again
Of course. That's all their "increase your military spending" whining was about. There are valid reasons to increase military spending but their whining isn't one.
It’s so un-American to not buy weapons from us. Who do these Europeans think they are?
Of course
You sidelined US companies the moment you enacted tariffs (among other things), you turd.
Uh... too bad?
