Just a reminder: in 1982, when Great Britain was attacked by Argentina, starting the Falklands War, the United States did not come to their aid because the Falklands are not in the North Atlantic and the British did not bitch about it.
In 1956, when the French and British attacked Egypt, causing the Suez Crisis, despite the fact that France and Great Britain are in NATO, the United States not only refused to assist, but went to the United Nations to condemn them for attacking Egypt.
In 2019, when Turkey decided to attack Syria, the Trump administration had the Pentagon send out an official notice that they did not support the campaign and would not send troops.
So kindly shut the fuck up, everyone in the White House.
“NATO WASN’T THERE WHEN WE NEEDED THEM, AND THEY WON’T BE THERE IF WE NEED THEM AGAIN. REMEMBER GREENLAND, THAT BIG, POORLY RUN, PIECE OF ICE!!!” - President Donald J. Trump
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
NATO Articles 5 & 6 require "individual or collective self-defence" from "an armed attack against one or more of them" in Europe or North America, the Algerian Departments of France, the territory of Turkey, or islands under member jurisdiction. Not aggressive war.

BOMBSHELL: Iran offered to give away ALL of its enriched uranium during peace talks in Geneva. The British thought it was a credible offer. Hours later, Trump started bombing Iran anyway. The US didn't want peace, they wanted war.

The wonderful Brenna Perez does what she does best, she nails it. As Joni Mitchell wrote ‘You don’t know what you’ve got ‘till it’s gone’
Malignant narcissism can be fatal I’m afraid. Trump is doing what he always does looking to bully people to fix the damage he’s caused. The threat to withdraw from NATO unless he gets his own way is becoming tiresome just like his tariffs.
Each day he has to come up with a new lie about it will end soon, so that markets stay onside. He’s embarrassingly predictable. China doesn’t need to send any warships, its oil is still flowing and it has a massive stockpile.
Xi is just sitting back laughing at Trump making a fool of himself.

WARNING: LONG THREAD 🧵
Dear Americans,
Your political and media class has sold you a very convenient fairy tale for decades - the tale of how your tax dollars pay to defend freeloading Europe.
While it's an emotionally satisfying narrative, it's also wrong.
THE U.S. DOES NOT SUBSIDIZE EUROPEAN DEFENCE.
You are not running a charity, you are running an empire. And empires are costly.
Your forward deployments, your bases, your carrier groups, etc. - they are the pillars of a global security architecture that mainly serves you: to protect your trade routes, your currency, your corporate supply chains, your ability to project force anywhere on the planet in hours and days, not months.
Let’s walk through this like adults, and not emotional toddlers, shall we?

🚨🚨🚨America Read This 🚨🚨🚨
You are being lied to by your sitting President on the United States of America.
Donald Trump just claimed again that the US donated 350 Billion dollars to Ukraine.
Let’s break this down with the facts rather than these random numbers Donnie is trying to sell you after finishing his nap.
Independent tracking by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy estimated that between January 24, 2022 and June 30, 2025, U.S committed aid to Ukraine amounted to about $134 billion, not $350 billion….it gets better.
Already a $166 Billion dollar difference than what Trump claims.
Please understand committed and allocated isn’t the same as what has actually been delivered.
56% ($74.9 billion USD) of all funds “allocated not supplied” were for weapons.
HOWEVER the $74.9 of weapons (Allocated and not necessarily all provided) were independently evaluated and subsequently massively overvalued by the US Government. The True cost of lethal aid was predicted to cost around $18.3 billion even by United States weapons pricing.
One reason: when equipment is drawn from existing U.S. inventories “drawdown”, the official accounting often uses replacement-cost valuations, rather than the original (or depreciated) cost.
To put it plainly, if you give Ukraine one air defense system, you account for the cost of a brand new air defense system to take its place not for the cost of the 45 year old system that was handed over.
Many of the weapons provided to Ukraine was soon to be destroyed by the US forces or decommissioned.
ALSO it’s important to take note as we all know the American arms industry massively overvalues the cost of all system due to its industry. America prices its systems at anything from 30-100% higher than the cost of European equivalents with the same capabilities. The true value of these weapons could have been anything from $5.49 billion-$18.3 Billion.
Even with a significantly lower number of this, Independent analysts suggested that a large share perhaps 60% or more of the nominal military-aid dollar amount may effectively stay within U.S. defense industry…..60%!
Out of aid provided $54 Billions dollars was Financial aid consisting of grants, loans, budget support.
Of the US $54.0 billion in U.S. financial-aid allocations for that period, about US $19.3 billion was provided as loans, while roughly US $29.7 billion was given as grants.
🚨🚨That means approximately 39–40% of the U.S. financial aid during that time was structured as loans or other repayable/concessional financing.🚨🚨
The US $3.4 Billion in Humanitarian aid.
Here is another kicker. After everything I have just said. According to United states press briefings: the U.S. had only delivered around 83% of promised ammunition, about 67% of pledged air-defence systems, and roughly 60% of committed bombs, artillery rounds, other munitions.
$5.49 billion-$18.3 Billion
$29.7 billion
$3.4 Billion
That $350 Billion is looking more like it was 38.59- 51.4 billion to me Donnie.
And it’s a funny number that.
An estimated $30–60 billion dollars was spent by Americans allies fighting alongside the US after 9/11. This included Ukraine.
We never once complained about this loss or the lives we lost.
Absolutely shameful.

There is a glaringly obvious message for Europe in the 28 point plan: This is the end of the end.
We have been told repeatedly and unambiguously that Ukraine’s security, and therefore Europe’s security, will be Europe’s responsibility. And now it is. Entirely.
If you are a European leader asking your team to book you on the next flight to Washington to go talk to Daddy, please don’t.
Not without a plan, not cap in hand, not humiliating us all in front of the cameras at the Oval office.
Europe is our continent, our future is decided here, not there. We aren’t poor, we have options, we can finally decide to assist Ukraine to the full extent of our very extensive capabilities, restore European dignity and defend Europe.
Or we can continue to wait for the miracle we now know is not coming.

This brilliant cartoon clearly explains Trump's position on Ukraine. It is in Ukrainian with English subtitles. Share it with anyone who keeps repeating russian propaganda.

The US-pressured ceasefire has been a massive gift for Putin, protecting Russia's cash-producing oil infrastructure and allowing Russians to once again use the Black Sea to launch missiles onto Ukraine's cities.
Trump is a fucking moron.

I am incredibly proud of my country🇬🇧
We’re not perfect and have a lot of work to do, like any nation.
But our resolve to stand with Ukraine has never faltered.
And we have shown the world, we always stick with our friends, through anything.

The russians occupied Arkhangelsk and Kotlyarivka, reached the administrative borders of Ocheretny and advanced near Novopokrovsky, Umansky, Pervomaysky and in Krasnohorivka, — Deep State
Does no one in the West read these reports?
The russians are advancing slowly, but they are advancing.
