Maybe tell Trump to stop being so openly hostile towards his own allies, then. This isn't a game. If NATO countries can't trust the US to have their backs, then why would anyone include them in their strategic planning? The US is simply not a reliable partner anymore. Not in trade or defense.
Insert: why would they do this meme
What a crazy time to be alive. The "slap a tarrif on everything" administration bitching about fair play. Why would EU consider the US over the EU for purchases? Even if we got rid of all the current idiocy, seems like it would be a matter of national security to have local production of matรฉriel.

You mean one of the cited reasons for slapping a tariff on everything? You mean other places can prioritize the same thing on their own? No. Can't be. He's got the bigliest brain to come up with these ideas.
Well sounds like the current American regime shouldn't have been cunts to the rest of the world, if you didnt want to get excluded.
It's giving "kid doesnt want to share toy, so they take it home and cry when nobody wants to play with them anymore" vibes. Pathetic.
Just late stage empire behaviour, really.
"After demonstrating Washington controlled disable switch, US manufacturers surprised at weapon sales drop"
The โkill switchโ is the logistics pipeline.
Look at Iran and their purchase and use of F-14s that we sold them before friendship ended. We (arguably) prematurely halted development and use of that airframe, and destroyed the aircraft when they were decommissioned instead of mothballing them, so that they would not be able to be used at spare parts. Thatโs the example case to compare against here. Granted, the situation and specifics are different, but there are still enough similarities to be a valid comparison point .
Right, but it's not just about end of life lines. Washington said to Europe that if they use their bought and paid for weapons in certain ways the US would block maintenance supplies. For things like the F35, this grounds them immediately as they need service after every flight.
The US would never allow a foreign government to veto it's use of weapons. Why should Europe?
There is no finer compliment than an American insult. A shithole country.
Maybe Europe paid attention to US threats to annex Canada.
No where does it say NATO spending has to be only in the US.
Weren't you people whining about how everyone else in NATO wasn't pulling their weight and you were tired of carrying us?
Yeah but they meant stop asking us to do your dirty work and instead buy out stuff and do it yourselves.
It's the no-buy part he's pissed off about.
Next step: dismantle US bases in EU and send the terrorists back whence they came from
"Isolationism FTW!"
"Wait, why are we being isolated??"
What do you use to post? Like, what client?
Voyager, why? Is the formatting all messed up??
Nope, it looks good here on Jerboa
Good to hear, got a little worried there for a second
No, I'm just curious because it doesn't auto-like your own comments.
Oh, no it sadly does. I just actively unlike whenever I post.
top us official can eat poo
Didn't we (the US) literally stop sharing intelligence with Germany? Like what do you expect?
German bases to close up, the US to leave all material on site as they abandon the country. What's the ETA on air evac?
Shouldnโt he say war build up?
The USA is losing, forget about them.
...from the US, fuck this guy....as a human, we need to do better...
Landau is a moron of a murican.... anyway.
I can't afford to have a personal employee to do stuff for me, why could I afford a tech prompt to do tech things for me? Why would I want to?
