High time for Europe to realize that Trump supports Putin. Europe needs to establish its own Ukraine policy: 1. Seize the $200bn Russian state funds in Belgium for Ukraine! 2. Establish a no-fly zone over half of Ukraine! 3. Supply all the arms Ukraine needs!

1. There is no capacity or political will to do any of this.

2. Yes, and now action!

3. Although I am a citizen of the USA and DID NOT VOTE for the Dictator Orange Mango, please feel free to ostracize and punish this country and you bring it to its knees. I do what I can to promote support for Ukraine, Europe and all democratic counties on earth and will try and turn our government back to a leadership that harmonizes with others for the good of the world. Do what you can until the USA rights her ship and can join you again!

4. Putin has video of Trump molesting adolescent girls aggressively. There is absolutely no way that Trump will ever cross Putin and he may end up joining with Russia in military action at the Kremlin’s command.

5. Go for it! Oh wait, Europe won’t do any of that without U.S. as a backer.

6. The time to realize this was a decade ago…

7. What should’ve been done on day 1

8. 3 easy pieces

9. 1) Not gonna happen, for reasons obvious to anyone who holds an investment portfolio. Wanna see a run on the banking system of any nation who attempts this? That’s what will happen. I certainly wouldn’t leave my assets parked in such a place.

   2) Yeah, Western Europe is SO not going to war to save Ukraine, which is what a no-fly zone literally means.

   3) That would require far more money than European nations can afford to pay without digging into social programs. Want to see every sitting politician in Europe get voted out of office? This is how to do it.

   None of these things will happen.

10. This overused rhetoric is no good when voters and politicians in Europe haven’t moved themselves much on this war. Post like these flooded social media when Trump was first elected, them making a comeback now isn’t going to matter shit. European leaders are on their way to the White House again.

11. 1 can be done; 2 and 3 cannot as Europe does not have the arms to enforce or supply…it is the sad reality.

12. TAKE THE RUZZIAN ASSETS.

    FFS what are you waiting for??

13. Trump definitely does, but the US military establishment don’t and they have power too. This is when flawed US democracy works in our favour (for once!)

    It’s sad that we need to say any of this out loud. It’s all clear. It’s all common sense.

    Why are we still arguing about these SIMPLE FACTS. ?

15. Europe: Oh no, Trump supports Putin! Trump so bad!

    Also Europe: Continues to buy 100s of billions in Russian oil which is Russia’s primary source of income to fund its war 🙂

16. Europe need to do all of those things regardless of American internal politics. It has underdelivered to UA since 2014

17. The no fly zone should have been put in place on day 1.

18. > Europe needs to establish its own Ukraine policy: 1. Seize the $200bn Russian state funds in Belgium for Ukraine

    Shouldn’t that be:

    **1. Stop directly funding Russia by buying Russian oil and gas**?

    Then maybe

    **2. Fund European defense to levels sufficient to deter Russia**.

    As that’s a required prerequisite to the second and third things on the list.

19. Isn’t Europe, to this day, buying billions of dollars worth of oil and gas from Russia? That seems like a lot more support of Putin to me.

20. Yes, I agree with 1, 2 and 3.

    Since Trump started his dictatorship, European and South East Asian allies including Oceania have been treated more like enemies of the US than long time friends.

    The closest military alliance and intelligence with 5 eyes has basically been dissolved.

    Seems as if all the US wants to do is punish its friends and reward Putin and Russia.

    This is very much looking like before WW1 and WW2 where the US tries to financially gain from its friends while backing away from its duty to help them.

    Europe is almost doing as much as is humanly possible to support Ukraine but Russia knows without US support, real support, they can do whatever they wish.

    The US knows Russia is terrorizing Europe and what do they do, walk away from allies and friends.
    If the US don’t put their big boy pants on and step up against Russia, Europe and all other allies will never trust the US again.

21. Europe supports Putin…

    If Europe had been serious about this they’d have been off Russian oil years ago.

    Yet as we sit here today how much Russian oil is going to European consumers?

    No small amount…

22. Europe, and the USA, got caught flat footed on just how fast a war can use up supplies and ammunitian.

    Countries on both sides on the big blue pond (Atlantic Ocean) are still finding out how hard it bites.

    The USA is just breaking ground on a new plant just to make TNT, which is used in artillary shells, among other things.

    That won’t be operational until at least 2028.

    So the answer is: even if Ukraine could buy all the war material it wants  the capacity to produce that much is non existant.

    After nearly 4 years of war, the average capacity  to manufacture military gear and ammunition has barely *doubled.

    *Been some months since I last checked, around March 2025.
