  1. I hope these "leaders" come out with a concrete "NO" to Trump. If they let him run over them in Munich and then again on the Ukraine talks (not to mention Greenland, Canada, Palestine, and Panama) they may as well just sit back and watch Trump wreck the world. They have many options under international laws and norms. I hope they have the courage and foresight to use them.

  2. Give the seized Russian blood money to Ukraine abd Putin wants it back he can remove his military from the territory of Ukraine. Sinple5

  3. So now the kids have gone back to the Shiteouse with their baseball bat diplomacy.
    It’s left to the adults to clean up the mess!🥃🥃🙏🙏👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇦🇺🇦🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇦🇺🇦🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇦🇺🇦🌹🌹

  4. The MAGAs are loading up on extra strong fentanyls to celebrate the demise of NATO. China have them on sale, too!

  5. European felt they are abandoned child deep in forest. USA will no more support Europe because all resources that USA need is in Middle East, Asia , and Antarctica. China India and Russia would be greatest trading market for USA. Trump would focus on china russia and India.

  6. Yes, by all means please partner up with China. Wht could possibly go wrong? China is a much bigger threat than Russia but so many on the left refuse to see/admit it.

  7. USA should make an Alliance with strong Asian countries, they have more resources, are loyal and culturally enriched.
    Leave the colonisers

  8. How many Europeans does is take to screw in a Ukrainian lightbulb?
    The EU is falling into Trump's trap.
    The EU will fund Ukraine's defense.! 😮😮😮

  9. "As an American living in the EU, I have to say—stop blaming the U.S. Your politicians are the ones who dropped the ball. Instead of pointing fingers at the U.S., maybe ask your own leaders what they’ve been doing. They’ve been living comfortably, draining money from the U.S. through the Clinton, Obama, and Biden administrations, and now that’s being cut off.

    Ask your politicians where all your tax money is going. Why is it always regular people like us who have to pay more taxes while they’re off on private islands, doing whatever they want? Why do we always get stuck with the bill after they’ve had their fun? They lecture us about making sacrifices, yet they don’t give up a thing—they just hop on their private jets to preach to the hardworking people in the EU.

    It’s time to start asking real questions—where is all the tax money actually going?"

  10. The "emergency session" held in Paris was abruptly suspended by the 15 European leaders in attendance after spending more than eight hours debating, yet still failing to reach an agreement on the brand of champagne they would be drinking. Olaf Scholz later stated that the only thing they managed to agree on was that the bottle of champagne should cost at least 800 euros or more. More details to come.

  11. 😂❤😊 AH DEAR FOLKS, ITS A BLOW TO THE EGO FOR THE "FIRST WORLD" EU TO FIND ITSELF NOT INVITED TO THE PARTY IN SAUDI 😊 BUT HEY! A LOT OF BONES TO PICK BY MEDIA, BIZZY BUZZY WITH LOTS TO SPIN & GAB! JUICY MEAT TO CHEW!

  12. The Italian government, a Satanist sect, commits crimes against humanity, uses artifices to devastate the European peoples for Satanism. currupt accomplices of European governments
