This administration has single handedly destroyed almost all alliances (except Israel) the the United States has grown and cultivated in the last 60 years.
Looks like a bunch of random talking about international politics and diplomacy in a bar... If this how this administration is working... Omfg.. Best 🤡 clown show ever. If it was not dangerous for all the planet it would be funny.
4. Everything requires an immediate "economic gain" on our part in order to do it - no more altruistic motives, no "meting out justice even at a loss". Everything transactional.
There is no hatred for Europe. It is doing favors for nothing in return. Trying to figure out compensation in return for services is not extortion. Maintaining saudi oil facilities keeps oil prices stable which is in our interest.
Everything plays into Putin’s hands with this administration, and it’s worrying.
If this is true. And if that "reporter" had any self-respect, and integrity he wouldn't have posted that. If he had any clearance it's gone. and he's probably gonna lose all access to everything political related. Unless it was meant to be leaked. and in that case is it even
To be fair, in reaction, Europe will hold a few meetings and maybe set up a commission for the meeting they hold and then write a letter to express disappointment.
The only reason that shipping lane is dangerous, if because Israel has been given a free pass to commit genocide. America is literally reaping what they sowed in the middle east. And they can't deploy back into the middle east either. Because they're scrambling to contain a
You know what's crazy? That if the US were on good terms with Europe, we could probably get Europeans to join in stopping the Houthis together. But instead, the US chose to dump Europe, go alone and rage about making them pay for the efforts being spent on stopping the Houthis.
This leaked chat shows the Trump admin’s true colors: cozying up to Putin, prioritizing Saudi oil over allies, and extorting Europe. It’s a betrayal of American values and a dangerous path that undermines global stability. We deserve better leadership.
I’m sorry extort? If the US is going to intervene on a European problem then yeah, America needs to be compensated. European leaders have been relying on the US to do their heavy lifting for far too long and that alone can cause “hatred” for Europe.
How are we extorting Europe? It's much more in their interest to keep the Red Sea out of Houthi control much more than it is ours, so why shouldn't we be compensated for clearing it out when Europeans can't do it for themselves? Maybe their contempt for Europe is demonstrated
Its completely the opposite. The Houthis represent zero threat to the U.S. and closing the strait of Hormuz would be catastrophic for Europe, not the USA. That’s why J.D. Vance complains of Europe getting a free ride. Protecting the Strait of Hormuz should be a European concern.
Yes, America hates Europe shocker not like a war was fought in the past to get away from Europe and their shit I take no credit but hey the sentiment never left lol
imagine if a Democrat chat was leaked. it would be about USAID kickbacks, sex parties, and who gets the autopen next.
Corrections & Clarifications: 1. Hatred for European *free-loading*. Not Europe. 2. The US has a strategic partnership with Saudi Arabia. This is no secret. 3. There is nothing about extortion. The US would like to be compensated for protecting European interests once again.
How about requesting payment for services rendered? This whole story is bogus and is nothing more than Trump's public talking points, just delivered via text message.
Did we read the same texts? Extortion against the US has been happening for a long time but no one gave a flying fuck, republican or democrat until they told yall how to think 😭
Nothing new under the sun. America allowed the Soviets to do what ever they wanted under Democrat leadership leading up to WWII and gave Soviets 1/2 of Europe afterwards. Seems like we are there again but just a few decades later and different leaders.
The EU is NOT America’s friend. The values of the Russian people are more in line with the majority of Americans. The future is 🇺🇸 + 🇷🇺.
Why wouldn’t they be? Trump was a long time Russian money launderer. He and Felix Sater on the Soho Tower made Putin. $350M. Felix ended up with an office on the same floor as Trump in the White House. The dossier is mostly true. 2013 Trump compromised in Moscow.Rosneft happened
The is also about circumventing the normal government systems which catalog military actions. By creating an alternative channel, they circumvent any remaining legal controls in the Pentagon or other agencies. This could lead to illegal military actions.
When are European leaders going to stop the charade of trying to work with this administration. Time to get real.
They evinced an intent to extort not just Europe but Egypt too. Never mind that Red Sea freedom of navigation is in America’s unilateral interest. With Trumpism it always comes down to $. They forget exercises of power are a currency form unto themselves. Soft or hard power.
I am not to old enough to forget who Reality Winner is, she was the leaker that spent 5 years & 3 months in prison for leaking, now we have Pete Hegseth will walk?
Europe is beyond fucked. Every EU country (esp Spain, Italy, Belgium) needs to increase defense, ASAP. There's no time. Usa now aligns with russia. Americans truly hate Europe, this isn't just trump admin. Trump admin are ivy league grads, can you believe how much others hate...
I actually agree with Defense Secretary Hegseth about the freeloading of Europe. Of course, it isn't as bad as members of the Trump administration have claimed, but the fact is that it would be in Europe's interest to grow the fuck up and take responsibility for its security.
Hahahaha “let’s make sure our messaging is tight”. Well they could start by not using a personal phone w Signal. Funny how Trump went bat shit psycho over HC emails. But apparently it’s ok because trump stated he knows nothing !!! The Atlantic knows more than he does.
Hatred for Europe? It says hate to have bail them out again big difference and what was the conversation about before that? I see this as taken out of context because what will they have to bail them out for ?
Russia was the only true ally of USA in both world wars. England was decimated, France overtaken, & Germany & Italy the enemy.
I fail to see the extortion part of this. If I solve a problem for friends at great expense to myself, I expect to be reimbursed.
We rely on Saudi for some oil! If their oil infrastructure gets attacked, oil will be $200+ a bbl, I'd like that but most wouldn't!
Trump hates us all. His ultimate retaliatory tour will be the annihilation of America and other countries he hates.
The beneficiaries of US military power should be made to pay tribute. Such is the obligation of vassal states.
Stay in Ukraine Jay. Fight for them. We all accept your ignorance and will to fight for a foreign country. Go to the front lines and tell the Russian soldiers how evil Trump is.
Is is Putin’s fantasy? Or is it simply nations shifting more inward after a euro-centric political global order turned into a globalist/corporation machine?
