The idea that Europe is weak is hilarious. Russia invading Ukraine has caused a general rearmament in Europe, this in itself wouldn’t make Europe strong but in general European militaries have been proactive about evolving their military technology and doctrine in mostly rational ways and as a result Europe is now a dense fabric of extremely advanced militaries informed by experience from the Ukraine war.
Since WW2 Europe has never been more militarily powerful compared to the US and Russia than it is now. See the rapid development and scaling up of Bohdana 155mm howitzers to 40+ systems a month as one intimidating example.
…which of course is exactly why Trump is insisting Europe is weak lol
Note, I am not arguing the US should cut aid to Ukraine.
He’s sore that the EU is not buying arms from the USA like he hoped when he pushed for increased defence budgets across NATO, and instead Europe is trying to become self-reliant and support its own defence sector.

Classic FAFO.
The main reason for this development is that he showed everyone that the US cannot be trusted anymore.
If only he asked them nicely. Instead of literally everything he’s done this year.
