[@TJ-bs4wv]

You do realise, he could have said in a different way. I'm living in Northern Europe, and the recent years, I begin to se many positive things Trump said. With that statement, towards US allies, that's too much. I agree Europe should be able to defend it self. US are the main that this war countinue. They benefit to much of the war. If US countinue like this, Europe will turn away from US. Then US risk isolated it self. In my life, US had been involved In soooooo many wars. Don't they respect other countries? Why not negotiate, and be a bit civilised

[@mtc-j9i]

@@TJ-bs4wvthat’s the problem. Europeans are stubborn, proud, and sensitive. Even if something is true, but it hurts your feelings, you laugh haughtily and go the other way. This has always been the problem with Europe. Spend more of your own GDP on your own defense, and you’ll see how little there is leftover for public services and health care.

[@TJ-bs4wv]

@miriamcollins7587 I only agree with one thing. That is we European countries have to invest more in our defence, then maybe we will be on more equal terms to the US. I understand that Americans are tired of spending all the money on the military, maybe you as citizens should demand investment in healthcare, cheaper education and infrastructure, instead of all the war and military and behave as the policeman of the world. Just for your information, many European countries especially the minor ones, spend hundreds of billions of USD buying weapons from the US. That will probably change because Europe is capable of producing its weapons. I have good American friends and colleagues, I have nothing American citizens, only the corrupted administration. If your government cared about you, you would be able to have health care. The US healthcare is way more expensive than it is in any European country per capita. Even if we will spend more on the military, we will still have affordable health care. Let's get things straight. You mention we Europeans are so proud and sensitive. I think you as an American need to reflect on your role in the world. I'm in my mid-40s. The older I get, the more I can see how the US interfering too much around the world. I remember when the US invaded Iraq in 2003, using a lie, our government followed the US, even though they knew the lie. I'm Danish, and we are below 6 million, so of course we cannot match the US military, but we still sent troops to help the Americans, also in Afghanistan, and sacrificed many of our young men, to support the Americans. I think Americans should try to learn diplomacy and negotiate instead of always the use of force and power. As said in the previous text, in many ways I began to like Trump's, and other European also do, with his directness, and I always understood why he focuses on the US citizens. Every good leader will prioritise its people. He should not exclude his allies with such a bombastic statement. I wish you a nice day
