That goes for Americans, too...
Campaign finance laws, no gerrymandering, actual free press, an independent supreme court.
Restoring the previous, highly flawed one would still mean the same thing could happen again in 4 years.
JFC. The hubris and arrogance of the US Admin Ignorati truly knows no bounds.
After the treatment of Zelensky on 28 February, and its overtures to the Kremlin regime, it's an emergency to rid ourselves of US vendors from *all* critical supply chains - not in just defence.
The senile toddler rambled nonsense, and now this will have consequences.
US 1 month later: Why won't you buy our products? Think about our relation
Trump will be gone in a few years, but the trust in America is gone and likely will never be rebuilt.
Of course Europeans are going to spend the money internally...
Does he really think that insulting all and sundry is going to attract business???
America will also become much more expensive if taxes can increase 25% or more on a daily basis without going to a vote...
They think they can poke someone in the eye and then get them to buy shit from us.
Too late, MAGAts. It only took 3 months to ruin all our trade, military and diplomatic relationships. Trump destroyed America but they can't see it yet.

'Rheinmetall, a German company, churns out some 700,000 a year, up from just 70,000 in 2022, and expects to hit 1.1m by 2027. “We already produce more ammunition than the United States,” '

“Come back”
“I want what you have”
“You cannot have what I have”
“Please take what I have”
The US administration is like a toddler on steroids in possession of a large army and nuclear weapons.
that's what happens when the US completely fucks up a decade long relationship for no good reason at all.
FAFO.
Europe pinched the tail of the USA in the door and the USA began to squeal like pigs.
Odesa, Ukraine.
Maybe a deal can be made.
We will not let a foreign dictator decide for us.
So, like Denmark already told Trump :“Fuck off”.
FAFO you fascist cunts
If yes, this is for sure a reason to not rely on the US.
Wait, no, not like that!
And wat would really help is to not threaten NATO countries with an invasion of one of them, maybe even stating they will never do that of course.
(but who still believes them?)
That doesn't seem to be the case. It may even be the opposite. There may be security risks involved with US made weapons.
Europe needs to explore other options.
#FAFO
it's a big NO
nazi fuck off

But no sane European will agree.
But at current trust deficit environment caused by Musk and Trump doupoly I don't think we should buy American anymore.
That would be bloody stupid
So Trump has just destroyed the foreign markets for American weaponry
yeaaaaaaah, about that.....
🤡🎪🤡🎪🤡🎪🤡🎪🤡🎪🤡
Who the fuck wants to buy their shit when Russia controls them?
Also USA: we're annoyed you took us literally.
We've burned bridges and they don't get rebuilt overnight
I think the best thing going forward is for no nation to buy US weapons. You never know when some illiterate clown is elected ringmaster and decides a sovereign cannot defend itself using Uas weapons
It's national security
Both wants are simply unrealistic.
Nobody trusts America anymore.
Okay USA, yes sir, or course sir.
We aren't morons. Time to move on from USA made weapons.
Who the f...k are they to «want the EU to buy» anything?
Fuck the US. Buy French 🇫🇷
They're deluded.
Here's some tariffs, freeloaders!
Got any eggs?

No thanks.
You can’t have both.
To flood local markets with American weapons off course.
They're so delusional...
