Brussels is full of fears about the possibility of Trump returning to the US presidency.
One of Europe’s most senior politicians has revealed how former US President Donald Trump privately warned that America would not come to the EU’s aid if it came under military attack.
“You have to understand that if Europe is attacked, we will never come to help you and support you,” Trump told European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in 2020, according to French Commissioner Thierry Breton, who also attended the meeting at the World Economic Forum in Davos, writes Politico.
“By the way, NATO is dead, and we will leave, we will leave NATO,” Trump also said, according to Breton.
“And he added, ‘And by the way, you owe me 400 billion dollars because you Germans didn’t pay what you had to pay for defense,'” Breton said of the tense meeting.
Brussels is full of fears about the possibility of Trump returning to the US presidency. As commissioner in charge of the EU’s industrial policy and defense program, Breton has pushed for the EU to increase its own self-defense capabilities amid Russia’s war in Ukraine and on Tuesday deployed a 100 billion euro fund to boost European arms production.
“It was a big wake-up call and he could come back,” Breton said of Trump.
“Therefore, now, more than ever, we know that we, of course, are on our own. We are members of NATO, almost all of us, of course, we have allies, but we have no other choice but to dramatically strengthen this component in order to be prepared [for] whatever happens,” he added.
Trump’s position on NATO
European governments are seriously concerned that if Donald Trump returns to the White House, he will not only permanently stop aid to Ukraine, but may also deliberately destroy NATO . A number of European diplomats and officials spoke to The New York Times on condition of anonymity.
The publication notes that throughout the existence of the North Atlantic Alliance, both “Republican” and “Democratic” US presidents saw this organization as a tool for increasing America’s power and influence on the world stage.

Fuckin moron! I can not say anything more!!!
“You have to understand that if Europe is attacked, we will never come to help you and support you,”
Let’s recall the words of a real POTUS, and not an overblown orang-utan.
We in America have learned bitter lessons from two World Wars: It is better to be here ready to protect the peace, than to take blind shelter across the sea, rushing to respond only after freedom is lost. We’ve learned that isolationism never was and never will be an acceptable response to tyrannical governments with an expansionist intent.

Ironically, it was Germany and France that prevented Ukraine from being able to join NATO. Just think where we would be right now if they hadn’t followed putler’s wishes back then. Everything would be different today. But, to this very day, those two “leaders” who were responsible for this mess and catastrophe have not acknowledged nor apologized for their grave mistakes. Who are they? Let the reader Google it. Google never forgets.
Having said that, it’s a bit late to realize that even the US can have a jerk like Trump as POTUS.
Jerk? Way too kind Sir OFP. The English language doesn’t have a word for that idiotic moron.
True, Sir Cap. Maybe one of us can invent a new one?
Operator Starsky came up with one :
“Zeegenerates.”
It fits the magaputler turds and also the far left tankie shit-eaters.
A nice collective noun for the far left/far right groupings worldwide that the rat nazi draws massive support from.
Troll Dumb is a joke.
Trumpkov has been promoting isolationist pro-Russia narratives since 1988, when he took out a series of attack ads as a precursor to a planned presidential bid.
He’s always been consistent. He has been talking about the partitioning of Ukraine since 2014. The putler genocide has not prevented him from showering the demonic shitstain with praise. In fact he’s increased it.
A vote for Trumpkov is a vote for the end of Ukraine as we know it.
If you want to know exactly what the magaputler trash think about Ukraine, you only have to read their house mags Gateway Pundit and Steve Bannon’s Breitbart.
The hatred can be seen in OpEds, readers comments and even news items.
