The ‘leaders’ of Europe got together in Paris, France at the request of French President Emmanuel Macron to discuss how to handle a peace agreement if Putin, Trump and eventually Zelenskyy come to terms. The outcome perfectly encapsulates the EU.
After essentially saying the United States would not send military troops into Ukraine as part of a peacekeeping mission, President Trump sent a communique to each of the leaders, “asking them to spell out what they would be prepared to offer to enforce a peace agreement, as well as what they would expect from the U.S.” However, there was no consensus from the EU meeting.
Instead, the Germans, French, British, Polish and EU leaders from Brussels said they would not send military assistance to Ukraine, without the leadership of the United States, and specifically without U.S. military troops to lead them. {Insert belly laughter here} Of course, they didn’t.
Politico outlines the story of the meeting: […] “A French-led effort by European leaders to present a united front on Ukraine in the face of rising fear over U.S. President Donald Trump’s intentions fizzled Monday as they failed to agree on sending troops to police a possible peace deal.
French President Emmanuel Macron had called the emergency meeting in Brussels after European leaders were left reeling by news the U.S. would start negotiations with Russia to end its war on Ukraine, but without inviting any representatives from Europe or from Ukraine.
But after a 3.5-hour huddle at the Elysée presidential palace, the response of leaders to the biggest security calculus shift in decades was underwhelming. “We realize that such meetings do not end in decisions,” Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said after the meeting.
Leaders came up with no new joint ideas, squabbled over sending troops to Ukraine, and once again mouthed platitudes on aiding Ukraine and boosting defense spending.
“Today in Paris we reaffirmed that Ukraine deserves peace through strength,” said both European Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen and European Council President António Costa.
The core dispute was over whether to send troops to Ukraine if there is an agreement to end the war. U.S. President Donald Trump has ruled out both sending U.S. forces and allowing Ukraine to join NATO, meaning that any effort to prevent Russia from attacking Ukraine again would have to be borne by Europeans.
NOT WITHOUT THE USA – France, whose President Emmanuel Macron first suggested the idea, and the U.K.’s Keir Starmer both support the idea, although Starmer said that could only happen if the United States also participated in any peacekeeping force.
He insisted on the need for a “U.S. backstop” after peace is secured in Ukraine, in order to “deter Russia from attacking Ukraine again.”
But Poland, a frontline state and close ally of Ukraine, with one of the largest militaries in Europe, demurred.
“We do not anticipate sending Polish soldiers to Ukraine,” Tusk said in Warsaw before flying to Paris.
“Poland simply doesn’t have the additional capacity to send troops to Ukraine,” said a senior Polish official who spoke on condition of anonymity, noting the country has long borders with the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad and Russia-allied Belarus, which need to be reinforced with Polish forces. “The French are far away so they can send soldiers to Ukraine; we’re close so we cannot.” (read more)
They have nothing but words, platitudes, meaningless bureaucratic sentence assemblies.
Oh, but he’s a horrible man that Trump, and JD Vance is bad, or something.
Too funny.
I doubt there is anything more completely European, than the leaders of Europe waxing philosophically with their high-minded prose about how the USA needs to provide military troops to support a peace deal that impacts the Europeans.
America – the Indispensable Power – has been taken for granted far far too long.
Europe is facing a sovereign debt crisis also at the very time they’re being told they need to up their military spending for NATO to a whopping 2 (TWO, DOS, ZWEI…) percent of their GDP. Here they are throwing a tantrum over Trump meeting directly with Putin and this is the best they can manage, because without us they’re paper tigers.
They are ignoring how EXACTLY we got into this war (by causing it) and what the current state of play is on the battlefield. Trump will get us the best deal that can be gotten, but it’ll be all that can be gotten the way this disaster has gone.
So, are we to believe any of this?

mmmNope 🙂
However it’s good to see globalist controlled EU nations NOT backing Ukraine. For whatever reasons.
Welfare States with an influx of grifting illegals will need to change tack as the USA money spigot is closed. No more climate/net zero impoverishment of the citizens for starters.

At our manipulation and provocation, Russia invaded Russia. NATO invaded Ukraine.
“There go my men. I must run and catch up to them, for I am their leader!” — French politician Alexandre Auguste Ledru-Rollin, struggling to catch up with a fast-moving crowd during the Revolution of 1848
And the defense spending audit will dwarf them both.
And the Mount Everest of FRAUD lies inside Treasury and The Fed, the monies given to BANKS and Wall Street dwarfs the Pentagon……..It’s in the HUNDREDS of TRILLIONS keeping the PONZI afloat…….Global BANKS mind you, every one.
If this is ever fully cleaned up, income tax may become a thing of the past…
Like reversing the exfiltration of wealth, taxpayers should all get rebates…
And, whether foreign “aid” militsry or non, or domestic spending, in every case in order for the $ to go out, Congress first had to appropriate it, and that means getting their cut.
And it was the 4, Senate and House Majority and Mimority leaders, that negitiated all the legislatiin, behind closed doors, divvying up the loot.
Then they distribute the proceeds, thru their campaign funding,…quite a scam,…but now its over, and the smart ones are accepting that, and heading for the exits…while the dumb ones cry and try to distract..
Yes, just try to ponder the bank bailouts without a single voter consulted!
You will never get anywhere near the bottom line of “Defense” spending as there are too many black book projects that the DARPA runs through countless cutouts.
I quoted “Defense” because just how much of a budget is spent on defensive weapons. Weapons are designed to “kill people and break things” as Rush Limbaugh was wont to say. Certainly there is a defensive posture in a large Naval fleet, 6th generation fighters, and modern weaponry, but my point is shouldn’t the department be renamed the Offense Department.
Wasn’t it originally the War department? political speak intent on making it nicely nicely and never what it means.. like all spending bills originating in congress…

Now we are back to the YOYO concept…You’re on you’re own…
President Trump: ‘Whatever dudes. It’s your problem. Not our circus, not our monkeys.’
Their worries should not be outside the border of Ukraine but inside especially if the likes of little man with big pockets continues to rule. Ukraine is a cesspool of spies, warmongers, and greed. Peacekeepers, what a joke, should be concerned with what goes out and not what might come in. As for our troops being there, we’ve suffered enough for them.
The EU are about as useless as tetes on a bull, as my old man use to say.
“teats”, he said, trying to keep abreast.
Hahaha. I read it as “testes” and thinking, what????
European politicians: perfectly perfidious.
The big picture is, this is a re-structuring of the post WWII geopolitical architecture. THIS MEANS, no no, US is NOT an indispensable nation, it is one, and only one, amongst others, who are equally “indispensable.”
China, Russia are your equals. Right now.
India, rapidly rising, soon will be.
GET USED TO IT, AMERICA.
Who cares if you like that, or not.
None of those nations care. Those are facts on the geopolitical table.
You’re not the only swinging dick in town, and you’re not even the biggest (China is).
Adjust to that new reality, and BTW, it matters not if you like it, that’s what the new reality is.
So recognise it, and respond accordingly. Preferably, without emotional hysteria and grief cycle denial.
Throwing shade lightbringer? (sp?)
The USA is the economic powerhouse of the world even though we have been strangling ourselves up to now. Whether you like it or not China is crippled without the US market and Russia is almost third world economically.
Watch what happens over the next three years
Actually, @Monticello, “the USA is not ‘the economic powerhouse of the world!'”
And, we should not “ask” it to be so, nor “expect” it to be so. We should, instead, “cause” it to be so. By re-developing our own self-sufficiency, building the best and most desirable products in the world, and properly managing our currency to the advantage of everyone including ourselves.
There’s what has now become a “pat phrase” for that idea. It’s called “MAGA.” But it cannot simply be an acronym on a red hat. It takes work, but first, it takes vision and resolve.
“You can have anything you want, if you want it bad enough.”
We ain’t interested in being the world’s policeman or the powerhouse of the world. We should join in amongst the rest of the world for peace and economic prosperity for the development for earth’s people. And let each country tend to their own self.
The USA is the greatest country on earth and the greatest country that there has ever been by any measure.
for one reason and that reason is this concept
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
I am a proud American and I an blessed to live in the greatest country that there has ever been and if other counties want to be as great they can follow our example. (That does NOT mean the USA wants to rule the world, only the WEF elements who have hi jacked our gov’t want that)
Those other nations have risen on the back of a severely weakened US. By intention of the Marxists who sought to destroy her from within. See Obama.
it is different now. Unleashed, the American people are a force like no other . I agree, just wait to see the mighty US phoenix rise.
Lightbringer
What part of Make America Great Again don’t you understand?
President Trump is precisely recalibrating our geopolitical position to Hemispheric defense and trade dominance.
Suck on that
A; All of it.
I’m talking about the world, which newsflash: is not just America. I’m talking about the context of America within the world: which newsflash again, doesn’t include America in its centre.
I love America, don’t get me wrong. But just because you love something or someone, this doesn’t mean you put it on a pedestal and worship it like some god, right?
So why do many Americans do precisely that when they talk about and think about their own country, in the context of all the other countries in the world?
Lightbringer has long thrown shade…
This gets back to that most fundamental of debates: IS America the INDESPENSIBLE Nation, or not.
And the answer is, of coarse we are, but only so long as we adhear to our core beliefs, and make it our mission to continue the coarse of American Exceptionalism.
Its not automatic, it takes vigilence and work, and each generation will find itself challenged, from within and without.
G’morning Dutch. If I may be allowed to color outside the lines a bit…these United States of America are a person, indispensable, as all are. My skew of MAGA is akin to a person looking inward to better themselves. When they are well, then, and only then can they help others. When people are healthy, vibrant, mentally sound (and might I venture to say virile), others are drawn to those concepts.
Our country was healthy for many years but currently is a “couch potato”: gluttonous, lazy, mentally dull and just plain boring. Our VSG is just our fitness instructor getting our body healthy. Mental clarity will follow once the body’s toxins are removed. When we are well, others will want to emulate us.
Sorry for the weird apology. Just my two cents.
…steps off soapbox…
P.S. For those few Americans capable of processing what I just said, I recommend you focus on your strengths which have bought you into your world leadership position last century and a half, which is mainly on your Lewis and Clark frontiersman bravery and your entreprenarialship and your innovation. Focus on those national strengths and you’ll be fine competing against the Chinese, the Russians and the Indians. (But do not underestimate those Indians…) Combine those qualities with the Canadian git’r’done grit, and you’ll, as a superpower amongst others, be unstoppable.
Lightbringer is… wait for it… Canadian.
Now I know many fine, tough, get’er done Canadians but that was decades ago.
I thought he said at one time that he was from New Zealand.
Canadadian git’r’done grit? Is that what we now call selling USA out to the Chyanese, so much so that the Northern Border has actually become one between us and Chynah? Is this the same grit that did not have their friend’s back by standing up to their usurping leaders to keep from invasion of world gang members and fentynal? Exposure looks like git’done grit was to destroy Americans.
Canadians, the Canadian PEOPLE should have stood with AMERICAN people during anthem instead of booing. President Trump has opened eyes with his lambast technique that Chynah is using Canada to oppress Canadians and destroy America.
Thanks for the tip.
Hahaha…..I fart in your general direction. Using that name, you should go away and hide
@Lightbringer does make a valid point: “you are still ‘very important,’ but you are no longer ‘the only game in town.'” A so-called “rules-based order” in which “you get to make all the rules” is not going to be the future of the world – nor should it be. A “service-based economy” in which you simply shop for anything you may require is also not sustainable and will not be your future.
MAGA is simply an extension of an old idea: “If you do not put [your_country] first, in everything that you do and everything that you negotiate, no one else on Earth ever will! Why? Because they’re busy putting [their_country] “first!” If you want to give your own country away, they will surely let you. As would you, if the shoes were reversed. (And, if you still had the capacity to make shoes – which right now you don’t …)
America must compete, restore her own self-sufficiency, and in that global competition, win on merits. “If you build it, they will come.”
Americans have known they weren’t the only game in town since the 80’s, which is when we first tried wresting the EU off America’s breast. 40 years later, they’re still firmly affixed. Joe America is perfectly happy to not be the world’s policeman. If an honest poll were taken, the number of Americans who’d be happy to get out of NATO altogether is probably why an honest poll is never taken.
Go away, Obama
Russia has the economy of Texas. They are only an equal with energy, just oil. China never will put out the economic disparity they are in and President Trump will lean into that. India is no where near and the only scary thing about them is their population.
Only if you count government spending as part of the GDP calculation.

Of course if the US committed its military to a peacekeeping exercise, Europe would suddenly decide that’s good enough, and there’s no need to send their own people.
The trouble with head bobbing committies —
The Lib EU heads are stalling, waiting to see what President Trump
will do even though JD Vance has directly spelled it out for them.
They want the money. It has always been about the money. The “Ukranian cannon-fodder” was simply a necessary cost of doing business.
Truth is, all of NATO has also been: “all about the money.” Trillions of dollars worth of it flowing by, and all you had to do was to stick your greedy hands in the gravy.
They are more committed to green energy and social welfare than their own defense. They blew their money on the wrong things and now they’re too feckless to course-correct. They expect others to do the heavy lifting. Lack of common sense and discipline. We had to save them from Hitler and they’ve never learned.
This is beautiful!
Now, how do we get the word with simplicity and clarity out to the American people (adults and children) it a way that everyone can understand it.
Rich greedy people in people in the Global world order and most of our US leaders:
We need an army of headlines, breathless reporters, teachers telling our children
Our President caught them all!
Bad men and women were using your parents money, money for your education and future to fake a war, make money, and destroy our country
Our president stopped a war from happening, caused by crooked world leaders
Our president and many good people who had faith and persistence, used their brains and good heart to keep a war from happening, and save this country.
There are bad bad people leading our country – stealing our money, trying to get us to believe lies, treating common workers like your parents like slaves, while they get rich, causing war that kills others and makes them rich.
The truths unfolding in The Treehouse need to be being heard from 3rd graders, 6th graders, 9th graders, Seniors. There ought to be college level courses dissecting how all this evil started, was perpetuated, and became a reality over the decades.
The curriculum ought to be being developed to teach our children in real time what is happening so they can see the power of a good leader and good government in a Constitutional Republic is restored.
We don’t need to be watching football, game shows, soaps, spending hour watching movies — we and our children need to be reading, eyes wide open and with accurate assessment — Treehouse accurate — what is unfolding in this historical time.
Would that it were so.
I have occasionally wondered if an EMP could be the best thing to happen to our Country,….they say 80% would die the first year, …well maybe.
Whoever survived, would be the adaptable ones, independant rather than utterly co-dependant…
Patton was right should have ended this nonsense in 1945
Unfortunately for all of us, “Ike Was Right™,” too …
So was McCarthy……
Maybe, but throughout history, Russia/USSR has shown they are not about to go down quietly. Especially for dumbasses who continue to try to fight them in the winter. See Napoleon and Hitler………..
To paraphrase General Schwarzkopf:
Going on a peacekeeping mission without the EU is like going on a peacekeeping mission without Karen.
Why is this supposed to be an American problem? There’s nothing that will change for the worse for us whether Russia never went into Ukraine or whether they absorb it completely. If the EU is fearful of an expanding Russia, THEY ought to do something about it. They’re always making the pretense that Europeans are so superior to the Americans.
“Why is this supposed to be an American problem?”
It’s not. Never has been.
The reason it’s been made into an “American problem” is because of the most powerful foreign lobby operating in the US govt system.
That’s why Project Ukraine was launched, in the first place.
To your cost and to your detriment and to Ukraine’s detriment.
But the people who launched it cared nought for those factors.
Because they all knew they would never be held to account if or when it turned tits up, which it now has.
Because those people, while widely known and recognised and have names, always do stuff like this, and always get away with it, without consequence.
Time to change that, if you really do want to MAGA. But it’s going to mean slaughtering a few sacred cows…
I guess you have never heard of Victoria Nuland.
Probably watched more footage of her than you have. What’s your point?
You’re right….we have a Victoria Nuland problem
The whole fear of Russia, by Europeans is rediculous, its based on EMOTION, not logic, the leaders KNOW Putin has no interest in occupying/absorbing Eastern Europe, like the USSR did,…but the Western leaders use Russia as the bogey man, to keep their people distracted….like the ME Kingdoms do, using the Jews and Israel.
Putins demonstration made it clear, if he WANTED to conquer Europe, he could and nothing could stop him…fortunately he does not.
He simply wanted to do business with the EU on a civilised basis. That would have been much easier for Russia. Just like Iran would prefer simply to do business with its customers.
But no.
Apparently, that’s a bad thing amongst people who control and dictate Western media and consequent thought patterns amongst the blindingly dumb Western sheeple who unthinkingly swallow evidently with no critical screening the mad ramblings of the paid media sycophants.
Hopefully some of the blindingly dumb Western sheeple after Musk and DOGE explained to them their “news” is fed to them through corrupt channels, will wake up. I personally hold little hope any of those idiots were paying any attention at all to the earth-shaking events DOGE is currently uncovering, but let’s hope I’m wrong.
Europe was so ‘fearful’ of the USSR that they bought oil and gas from the Soviets throughout the Cold War.
Let’s you and him fight? No.
What will the TPTB do now that the United States is no longer playing their hegemony game.
Barbara Tuchman is unsurprised.
NATO = Needs Americans To Operate.
Yes, I know it’s RT but this is an interesting take from the Russians RE Vance’s Munich speech; those po’ wittle EU denizens. Link follows:
https://www.rt.com/news/612796-vance-said-what-americans-think/
Agreed – it is interesting…
FTA –
For Western Europe, clinging to the ideological and geopolitical framework of the Cold War is about survival. Maintaining the old order allows the EU to sustain its centrality in global affairs …
For the United States, however, letting go of Cold War-era structures offers a chance to focus on present and future challenges — China, the Pacific, North America, and the Arctic. Western Europe cannot prove itself indispensable in any of these areas, but it can serve as a costly distraction.
This leads to an uncomfortable conclusion: The EU has a vested interest in escalating tensions to a level where even a reluctant US administration cannot stand aside. The real question now is whether the Old World is capable of pushing events in that direction.
Yeah, I really see no need for the half-apology for liking to RT.
First off, we hopefully always take the source into sccount,…secondly the Russians tend to hsve a pragmatic honesty sorely lacking from other sources..
The Europeans have the morals and spines of jellyfish, and the work ethic of third generation welfare recipients.
“Today in Paris we reaffirmed that Ukraine deserves peace through strength,” said both European Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen and European Council President António Costa….. LMAO!
I wonder if they actually made time in their 3.5-hour huddle to have a real meeting while doing their congress-of-crows…
I can spot a European a mile away. There is something amiss about their collective persona and worldview
What started as a humanitarian move years ago has morphed into massive mess over the years.
If we just stop sending money, Russia will be able to wrap things up and keep the peace. There’s very little need for Russia to negotiate.
Like Covid and the Harris gaslighting last fall, Ukraine war support was a manufactured information operation targeting American and European audiences. There has never been support for this disaster, but a lot of people went along with it to avoid being called a bad name.
Like that Amway box hidden away in the corner of your closet, this is yet another in a series of IO campaigns after which people embarrassingly hide that Ukraine flag, bumper sticker, and lapel pin and change the subject to the weather when asked to explain their support for it.
I read CDU’s Merz said this situation would necessitate putting the economy first, and separating climate from economics decisions. He echoed an economic national security message Ive heard somewhere…
Retired Magistrate here: No, just No. I am sick of propping up Europe; let them eat cake!
Well, little Z man, that sure didn’t take long, did it.
“Please pass the foie gras and please fill me up with some more of that fine Burgundy.” Democracy and free speech are just so old school, and defending your Eastern flank, well, is there a good vineyard out there?
Your combined military forces have to have the U.S. military’s leadership in a “peacekeeping” mission?
Speaks volumes about the rest of your leadership ability.
America doesn’t want that many new States.
On the other hand, since PDJT is excluding Europe from his negotiations with Putin, which I agree with, Europe could have replied “let me no what the deal is and then I will be able to give you an answer”.
Let’s not forget that it was the USA, Obama biden admin, that started this problem by creating a coup against the elected Ukraine PM. Also, prior admins violating their agreements with Russia on NATO expansion.
Correction: let me know what the deal is ….
Even their commitment to spend more $, is limp wristed…
Remember when PDJT got them to agree to pony up Billions of Euros, by threatening to not protect them if they didn’t meet their commitments?
And yet now I read Germany is incapable of fielding even ONE combat ready division,…WTF?
And, I suspect the others are just as dificiant, making me suspect what $ they did expropriate fir military spending, was all syphoned off thru corruption…
I’m so tired of the snooty hierarchy of pompous elites. The whole continent can implode for all I care.
Europeans say “We must defend our shared values” Europeans do “we need more meetings “. These are not serious people.
Do Americans have any shared values with the EU controlling powers?
We’ve been continually manipulated by these ancient realms since our Founding.
“…Why forgo the advantages of so peculiar a
situation? Why quit our own to stand upon foreign
ground? Why, by interweaving our destiny with that
of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and
prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalship,
interest, humor, or caprice?
It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent
alliances with any portion of the foreign world—so
far, I mean, as we are now at liberty to do it—for let
me not be understood as capable of patronizing
infidelity to existing engagements (I hold the maxim
no less applicable to public than to private affairs, that
honesty is always the best policy)—I repeat it
therefore, let those engagements be observed in their
genuine sense. But in my opinion it is unnecessary
and would be unwise to extend them…
The pertinent part of George Washington’s farewell speech.

1871 Grant borrows money from Europe, then to 1913 we default setting up the Fed and constant war. From the sinking of the Lusitania to now, Foreign Entanglements have damn near drained us dry and set up rampant fraud with weak alliances that constantly require “our” blood and treasure.
No more.

UK prime minister demands the US “backstop” Europe’s “security guarantees” to Ukraine
18 Feb 2025
The WarRoom warned late last year, quoting Foreign Policy magazine: “European countries would agree to send their troops only if they had an ironclad guarantee from Washington that the US would intervene if they were attacked.”
This is exactly what the Biden regime was secretly promising EU capitals in its dying days. And now UK premier Sir Kier Starmer expects President Trump to deliver on Biden’s promises.
This emergency Paris security summit is an orgy of performative virtue-signalling. Germany and Poland are so terrified of Putin they even confirmed they’re not sending their own troops to Ukraine!
https://rumble.com/v6m1tnx-harnwell-2172025.html
Perhaps Macron is a better politician than I thought.
He called all of the European leaders to France to get them all to surrender together so France would not look so bad.
<Chuckles>
This has always been about getting US troops sucked into another Vietnam. I can see the future now. Our troops goiong out on patrol and taking all of the heat whilst the Europeans sit in their cafes and have their coffee and cigarettes with the most tasteful danish and airs of the sophisticated. Just like in Saigon. No, and not just no, but HELL NO.
The Euroweenies are all fur coat and no knickers. For all their big talk and bluster, they don’t have the resources to support a peacekeeping mission in Ukraine without us doing most of the work and footing the bill. Most of them do not live up to their long-time agreement to fund NATO as a small percentage of their GDP, and if they won’t fully contribute to their own defense, they are unlikely to spend more defending Ukraine. They are also not insane like we are when it comes to building massive debt to pay for all their pontificating, so they want to “defend democracy” by demanding that we accrue more debt so they can enjoy their slouch to socialism and totalitarianism.
Anyone who tries to convince you that Ukraine is only a step in Putin’s plan to conquer Europe is not to be trusted because they are either stupid or up to no good.
If nothing else, the Ukrainian special military operation has demonstrated the limits of modern battlefield power and expensive armored vehicles. This isn’t 1944, Putin doesn’t have 1,000 Soviet divisions to send west, and a teenager with a joystick can control a drone and destroy a tank that took millions of rubles to produce and hundreds of hours to train the crew.
Europeeons
They want stability in Europe? Send your own people to the meat grinder. We’re done financing your grift and sacrificing our people.
F these Crap Weasels for going along with American NeoCons who started this crap.
Hurrah President Trump!
They expertly lead from behind.
“The French are far away so they can send soldiers to Ukraine; we’re close so we cannot.” 🤣💋
Maybe a start to the peace process is to think about a US/Russia collaboration on the East side of whatever border comes about with the Europeans policing the western side. FWIW
This stupid summit just made President Trump’s work harder by strengthening the negotiating side of Russia in their openly letting the entire planet know just how weak-kneed all of Europe is. Not a man among them.
While they’re meeting, discussing and socializing, President Trump and his administration are in-person, not remotely, working… FOR us🇺🇸🙏🏻.
May we be worthy of it.
They are irrevelant without us. They are weak…..like demonrats!
In Afghanistan, the war fighting effort was run by the UN’s International Security Assistance Force or ISAF. CK’s SOF colleagues however said it stood for, “I Saw Americans Fight.”
All the strong European men died in World War One and the cowards left behind ruined their nations. What is it going to take for Europe to find its courage again?
Why would Putin ever invade Europe? Within 100 years the continent will be officially known as Islamistan… who needs that headache…
For real.
