His main issue was the fact NATO countries were buying oil from Russia while still expecting the United States to back them in a war with Russia.
I know Trump is an asshole but he was 100% correct on this one issue and we saw the results of that after Biden took office.
Trump wanted NATO countries to stop approving oil pipelines from Russia because in the event a conflict with Russia occurred, Europe would have their power shut off overnight. He thought it was ridiculous that NATO was organized specifically to protect European countries from Russia, yet they were dependent on Russian oil.

What happened after Biden came into office and the Russians invaded Ukraine?
Russia got sanctioned and the oil stopped flowing. The Russians used their position as an energy producer to apply pressure to Europe and the global economy. Inflation hit everyone.
Trump was 100% correct that Russia was using our energy policies against us.
It doesn’t hurt to have other NATO members carry greater load partly because only seven members have met 2% GDP set aside on defense in 2022 and expected to rise to 11 in 2023.
And this out of 31 members currently in NATO.

Trump is likely full of *vengeful hatefulness*, because Germany would not allow his granddaddy to return.
He tried every way he could to make his Trump Tower Apt, [look like a East European Oligarch’s home](https://www.travelandleisure.com/culture-design/architecture-design/trump-tower-donald-trump-penthouse).
Pretty fucking scary
If this is true someone needs to look harder into the relationship between Putin and Trump. Where else would he get this idea?
This is pretty much what I would expect from a potential Trump presidency the position of leader of the free world will be vacant and it would be upto to all the democracies to step and fill this void especially with regards to Putin
That’s before we get into Trump has eyes on turning America into a Dictatorship.
We tried that before and European wars turned into World Wars. 🙁
Wild that his supporters have such a narrow world view that they think a global conflict in Europe just wouldn’t affect them at all. Morons. All of them.
2024, no country is a island, Abandoning Europe would hurt the US more than the other way around
No surprise for someone in Russia’s pocket.
Of course he wouldn’t, he’s a Putin lackey.
Hes a Russian puppet, what do people expect?
Thankfully he’ll never be in charge again.
It’s a dumb policy but Europe should be a lot more prepared to defend itself anyway, we shouldn’t rely on the US.
Trump is a Russian asset who belongs in prison.
It’s hilariously ironic how everyone, ***especially*** Europeans, gives America shit about how much the US spends on its military *until* shitheads like Trump threaten to withdraw protection.
Trump is mean, ass wipe, Bully, that unfortunately couldn’t care less about America.
Trump wouldn’t help someone that needs help if they were bleeding out in front of him. He’s a vile and beyond selfish scumbag that has far too many like minded supporters that all wanna date their own daughters.
When he wins every one is fucked…well maybe not russia
I’m voting for Biden but Europe needs to be prepared
If trump is elected, he will pull out of NATO, and Russia will make moves on the Baltic’s while China goes for Taiwan.
Of course he wont. He is the most anti-west anti-America anti-democracy politician the US has ever had. And to top it off he is literally a traitor, by definition.
Its truly amazing how that the people who vote for this guy has managed to convince themselves that they are the biggest patriots. I cant even begin to comprehend the kind of mental gymnastics that goes into that.
I believe it but MAGAs won’t because they only believe what they want to believe, so they will find some way to discredit them.
My Euro friend keeps saying, “It doesn’t matter what US president they have. They’re all the same.” Yeah, no.
I think this story is rubbish. He has repeatedly said that the NATO allies need to pull their own weight. Ukraine is the perfect example. The whole of Europe has an economy roughly the size of the United States, yet they contributed less than 1/3 of what the US did to Ukraine’s defense. Why should anyone defend them if they’re unwilling to defend themselves?
