Not really. European NATO countries are currently strong enough to repel a Russian attack if we so wish. Taking into account how strong the Russia is at the moment. It will be stronger in the future, but we are easily able to increase our strength more than the Russia can.

And if USA withdraws from NATO, then the rest of EU, not only Finland, Baltics, Sweden, and Poland will be forced to take defence seriously. This will make NATO more like it was supposed to be, and it will no longer be used for offensive wars.

But... USA withdrawing from NATO would of course have negative sides:

  • a war with the Russia would not end in two days with a decisive victory for us as it would with USA in, but would drag on for weeks at least, likely years. And thousands or tens of thousands would die.
  • USA's allies in Asia would not dare to trust USA anymore and would turn towards China for coöperation, regardless of China's imperialism. This would make China stronger, which would be bad for Europe.

But still: The EU is the biggest economy on this planet. We are absolutely able to win a war against a country with an economy only as big as one of our 27 member states. We just need to bother to do so. Which means we'll need to change our mindset. Heh.

Denmark and Finland and Netherlands definitely are not doing this in order to gain political control or economic concessions. They are doing this to keep war away from EU. Your claim that they do it just to exploit Ukraine is absolutely ludicrous. As is the claim that instead of stopping a war that threatens us, we'd somehow "choose Israel in a heartbeat". Where did you get this idea?

(Also, how are Finns "imperial stooges"?)

At least the Siku cars I checked just a few weeks ago in a shop were all made in China 😢

The Majorette cars I've bought to my children are all made in Thailand.

So, the war in Ukraine is a proxy war between North Korea and USA?

A lot looks like we and champignons share a common ancestor that had already separated from plants. But, it's not sure.

No unclarity regarding that, don't worry :)

What is this the decisive factor you're talking about? You can have several.

Good luck finding a presidential candidate with good policies in USA.

Uh... If the misogyny was enough to remove enough votes from them to allow the worse candidate to win, then obviously it was a decisive factor. Being a decisive factor does not equal being the only factor.

You're not supposed to question the victory of a presidential election when done in free and democratic elections. Doing anything like that would be horribly anti-democratic.

It would be horrible if Harris had challenged Trump's victory. That would just make her another Causescu/Trump/Mussolini.
