Trump cannot go ahead and unilaterally promise Putin a reversal of NATO enlargement, because that would require agreement from all members. But Trump can simply withdraw US troops from the Eastern Flank, which would have almost the same effect.🧵4/5

Trump is going berserk breaking many laws.
Mr felon in the White House quoted Bonaparte “he who saves his country does not violate any law” the Supreme Court is wrapped up. His cabinet are inept clowns the GOP are cowards and Natzi.
It will end in the streets.
Save yourselves.
With the US troops gone, Putin might start to see the opportunity to annex whatever he wants. Biden’s appeasement policy might have been called a display of weakness, but an even weaker policy would be to give Putin a bigger chunk of Europe than Ribbentrop gave Molotov.🧵5/5
I don’t really get how “annexing whatever he wants” is in the realm of possibility when he’s been humiliated for several years now just turning to hold a few chunks of territory in a depleted country like Ukraine.
Trump needs stability in Europe. He will not abandon Europe, but he doesn't need the Baltics so he might abandon them. Europe's play: make the restoration of Ukraine's border Europe's goal. Pursued with all means necessary, including military. Bind Putin's troops in Ukraine, play Putin and Trump.
Putin wants to reach Berlin. There can't be stability in Europe with the threat of Worl War III hanging over it. Russia as a fascist nation thrives under these condition. Not Europe.
I also would assume that Trump sees that as a good deal & in his/America's interest if it involves buying American weapons, buying US oil and gas, and paying the US for providing ISR capabilities.
There are quiet ways and means to rid the ambitions of Dictator's, Psuedo-Emperors, Broligarchs & autocratic leaders.
We just need the clever ones to want to save democracies.
The planet needs us to save it not actively destroy.

That might be the case but Europe by the size of our economy, population and other resources should be perfectly capable to defend itself. Is it willing to do it though? It seems to me like the last decades most of Europe is only willing to defend itself if others foot the bill.
You can't build a security alliance on the premise that we should be afraid on Putins insanity and then end up appeasing him. This is not how the Cold War was won.
Is the continent with strong economy and the most wars in history really that incapable if US leaves? Really?
But with insufficient stockpiles of munitions to last a long war, a tendency to believe Putin's nuclear threats, and an apparent inertia when it comes helping neighbours being invaded.
If he invades Lithuania, will there be an all-out response? Not the Ukrainian experience. Hope this changes soon.
That does not help much if Putin sends his missiles into Poland or Germany and his drones into the Baltic states attacking the energy infrastructure for example.
Which is why Zelensky is right Europe needs to stop believing America's false promises and defend itself. That includes producing its own weapons since Biden proved America can and will order them not to be used against Russia for self defense. You need a NATO of the willing without Russian puppets
And trump will weaken the US as much as possible. He’s just starting. Europe cannot depend on America. Fortunately, the EU can build its own defense and take care of itself.
Trump warned Europe last term, Biden held NATO back during his giving time for Trump to come back
Trump killed Americans and our economy and we still elected him. Biden took no measures to protect our election from being hacked either.
We screwed Europe and ourselves.
Trump, the allegedly compromised chaos agent, would be willing to govern over the ashes and suspend elections and be president for life. He seems to think that he can only become a dictator with Putin’s help,
Yes perhaps. But then he still has to come up against Ukraine. They have proven to be the most steadfast fearless warriors in Europe. Putin cannot even get a solid foothold inside Ukraine’s administration. He continually underestimates their power, intelligence and creativity.
The Russian military is not any longer strong enough, after being enormously hurt by AFU, to do any harm to Europe for a while. They cannot to annex any territories let alone maintaining the current front line.
I think Europe needs to face the fact America is on Russia's side, not Europe's not even ours will make Russia Great not America
Europe needs to release all frozen Russian assets to Ukraine Germany needs to stop fucking Ukraine and send Taurus like the UK and France & HELP Ukraine take Russia out
Even cowardly Biden finally allowed Ukraine to use American ATACMS to take out the Russian Weapons and Weapons Production that is GOING to target Europe. France and the UK led the way -
FUCKING Germany is still protecting Russia's weapons!
Killing Ukraine and endangering Europe! Release
I think a collective multifront insurgency into 🇷🇺 on Eastern/Baltic fronts, would see #PewTinTheWarmonger on his knees, and force 🇺🇸 to come clean on who they'll stand behind or retreat disgracefully.
There is much to contemplate on displaying multinational strength on our terms.
Maybe relying on the US white knight was always short-sighted and wishful, and the sooner CEE would wake up from 1989 the sooner we'd have an independent European defense pillar?
