Related: About this forumWhy Is US not Taking Action on Poland? - Silicon Curtain
Edition No246 | 14-09-2025 - When Russian drones violate Polish airspace and NATO in Europe scrambles, what does the American president post? If you read the headlines, you may get one version of reality that decisive action is coming, its being planned, its almost here. If you peel away the normalization bias and sane washing, then its clear that nothing is happening, and nothing is likely to happen from US side that would deter Vladimir Putin. Trump will not defend you.
Trumps response to the unprecedented attack on Poland, Europe and NATO, he immediately turned around and delivered an ultimatum not to Russia, but to NATO itself.
Well unpack why Donald Trumps threats and conditions land on alliesnot on Moscowwhenever Europe is tested, how the media sane-washes the noise into a tepid bath of normal, and why Europe must plan like the cavalry isnt coming. Because its not. The war in Ukraine would end if all NATO countries stopped buying oil from Russia, Trump postedcalling those purchases shocking and saying they greatly weaken your negotiating position.

(23,957 posts)1. It would benefit everyone if the president knew some history, what's currently going on and cared
But sadly, imo, he doesnt know or care about anything except his personal wealth and building a ballroom in our White House. As Commander in Chief, hes AWOL..a felony level offense
