“The only person he cares about is himself,” a Biden campaign spokesperson said.
President Joe Biden’s campaign attacked former President Donald Trump on Wednesday for saying that he wouldn’t protect Europe if it were attacked.
“The idea that he would abandon our allies if he doesn’t get his way underscores what we already know to be true about Donald Trump: The only person he cares about is himself,” Biden campaign spokesperson Ammar Moussa told POLITICO on Wednesday.
The broadside comes a day after a senior European politician recounted how Trump privately warned years ago that America would not come to the EU’s aid.
“‘You need to understand that if Europe is under attack we will never come to help you and to support you,’” Trump told European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in 2020, according to French European Commissioner Thierry Breton, who was present for their chat at the World Economic in Forum in Davos.
Well, who would be doing the attacking? Trump is Putin’s water boy.
Well obviously Trump is attacking Europe that’s why he won’t defend them.
That’s not water
The problem is, his supporters will go “Fuck yeah!”
I knew one that unironically said that the USA is the only country that matters.
Which as a European, is fair enough. America first, American interests first.
Of course, ensuring Europe doesn’t fall into the Russia/Chinese sphere of influence, and having powerful allies, is quite obviously in America’s interests.
Not that there’s any point arguing with morons like that. Like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter what, you’re likely to end up with shit in your hair.
I guess that’s the famous four dimensional chess the lunatic jugend keeps talking about.
Europe already knows Donny.
The idea that Europe exists because of some sort American benevolence is only found in America.
Europe has a long history of war and resilience but also of shifting borders. If China and Russia decided to combine forces to take land, Europe would be fucked without global support.
Russia can’t even manage to invade Ukraineand logistics would be hell for China.
If Russia was uncooperative it would be hard for China, but if they cooperated with infrastructure I don’t know.
The thing is that NATO’s article 5 has only been invoked once in history, by the United States after September 11.
Europe came to support you, Donny.
I don’t believe that it would benefit America very much if Europe were to orient itself more towards China.

If Russia bombed Warsaw I would wholeheartedly support a military intervention, but I also thought it was cool that NATO prevented a genocide in the Balkans in the 1990s. Not everyone shares that same sentiment
If Russia bombed Warsaw there would be a Polish flag flying in Moscow in about a week & #Putin would be sitting in the Hague or chilling in a morgue.
Completely agreed. They’ve stocked up on so many HIMARS systems lmao
But we also had the illegal invasion of Iraq and that legacy hasn’t been hold up well. I know nothing about Libya but most people on the left tend to complain about that.
Iraq was a disaster and Bush is a war criminal. Libya is a different story. These folks summed it up well https://www.brookings.edu/articles/everyone-says-the-libya-intervention-was-a-failure-theyre-wrong/
Yes. This is what your typical American cares about. Time for Biden to get woke.
Edit: to save myself an argument here is a list of things your average American is looking at:
Price of bread
Price of gas
Healthcare
Defending the constitution
Immigration
I’d go on but the list gets more and more stark.
I’m not saying we needn’t worry about NATO but look you turd nuggets NATO won’t be a thing if Biden can’t secure a second term.
Unfortunately we are base creatures here in the US of A so don’t get so lost in your high minded ideas.
