    Europe is taking over NATO leadership from the US. I think it's a step towards US possibly leaving, or being expelled, NATO altogether

    European military powers work on 5-to-10-year plan to replace US in NATO, FT reports

    https://www.reuters.com/world/europ...r-plan-replace-us-nato-ft-reports-2025-03-20/
    March 20 (Reuters) - Europe's biggest military powers are drawing up plans to take on greater responsibilities for the continent's defence from the U.S., including a pitch to the Trump administration for a managed transfer over the next five to 10 years, the Financial Times reported on Thursday.
    The UK, France, Germany and the Nordics are among the countries engaged in the informal but structured discussions, the newspaper reported, citing four European officials involved.

    ...yeah as it says there's long way to go on that and a lot of capabilities to be backfilled but nevertheless it's going to piss off Russia....another plunge from the unlubed dildo of consequences....a uniting Europe into a common defence posture based on their vast experience of NATO systems and architecture....ouch that's going to sting a bit....

    Yes. Finland joining NATO and opening a 1000 mile border with mother Russia should have been a warning for Putin, but he didn't listen and now all of Europe is following suit. They will stand up to him with or without the US. It's good for all parties, except for Russia.

    It's a silver lining to Trump being mad.

    It's a reality for Pootler now. This will be costing him untold billions to try and secure and protect.

    Hopefully UA will eventually be able to reach all the way to Vladivostok and Little Rocket Man's hermit kingdom. Maybe if they can strap enough fuel to a drone? Or do drone mid-air refueling? Could happen..

    It's possible....and all these drone strikes illustrates Mafiosi has no AD or its for total $hit.

    But...like I said earlier...90% is tied up in Ukraine and destroyed ....the other 10% is guarding Pootlers numerous mansions.

    A country with a tiny economy has to try and guard the world's largest national territory. It's no wonder they can't quite manage it.

    Germany seems to be going on a bit of a military spending spree. Interesting times ahead for the orcs, methinks.

    The Kremlin is weaponizing ongoing ceasefire negotiations and deliberately misrepresenting the status and terms of a future ceasefire agreement in order to delay and undermine negotiations for a settlement to the war.

    Bill won't like this. This guy has actually traveled to China and seen the CN-RU border, and he understands the history and the propaganda on both sides.

    US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff uncritically amplified a number of Russian demands, claims, and justifications regarding the war in Ukraine during an interview on March 21. Witkoff told American media personality Tucker Carlson in an interview published on March 21 that Russia "100 percent" does not want to invade Europe and that Russia "does not need to absorb Ukraine." Witkoff stated that Russia "reclaimed" five regions in Ukraine — Crimea and Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia, and Kherson oblasts — and that Russia "has gotten what [it] wants" and will not want more.
