Excellent. Trump got exactly what he wanted
We are going to have to go outhere and get trump out of the white house
I was always pro EU. The EU has become a War Machine. America Russia Peace Pact. EU wants War. Terrible.
Nice!
LEAVE Hungashit OUT, NO LOSES, NOTHING!
Big middle finger to Orban
Yep, good news! Make America Irrelevant Again.
I have never seen so much panic in collective west
Europe has depleted its stockpiles and their tanks destroyed. A pipedream at best.
EU: 800 billion euros in 4 years in conventional weapons
USA: 900 billion dollars for 2025 alone
The USA trembles without Europe.
Please show Napoleon's like Macron. I didn't see his picture today.
orban was whining again, or rather putin.
Hungary should NOT get a cent from tnis deal. 🇳🇱❤🇺🇦
Instead of buying from other countries Europe should go for made in Europe defence equipment’s and make Europe great again MEGA…that is
Ukraina is EU is greatest defence❤🤌
Australia stands with EU, we can share and collaborate and grow stronger together without USA
Too little too late. It will take at least 10 years to build up any suitable army.
Trump told them this 8 years ago
Europe should have done this 40 years ago the fact that Europe waited this long to rearm and to spend more money and resources on military defense is very unacceptable.
The last couple of decades Europe has done nothing but take advantage of us Americans and have been freeloading off of us Europe need to start protecting themselves without relying on us Americans for freebies and handouts enough is enough.
Europe's problem's is not America's problem's why should we Americans care about what happens in Europe much less Ukraine Europe needs to step up and start protecting themselves from now we Americans are not Europes piggy bank and we Americans are not obligated to help.
Congrats EU leaders for footing uo the bill, as an American taxpayer, we dont want to be part of these EU leaders who wants war and continue this senseless bloodshed. Good luck Europeans with your leaders
Orbon to be sent to the front lines first 😂
Orban seems to be the only sensible man in Europe.
You guys need to kick out Hungary back to pariah Russia
Funny how Europeans are suddenly getting serious about defense, and finally coming to the realization that they should be providing 100% of their own defense. Without relying upon a foreign non European country, thousands of miles across the Atlantic. 🤣🤣
800b for 34 countries?
