Maybe tell Trump to stop being so openly hostile towards his own allies, then. This isn't a game. If NATO countries can't trust the US to have their backs, then why would anyone include them in their strategic planning? The US is simply not a reliable partner anymore. Not in trade or defense.

Well sounds like the current American regime shouldn't have been cunts to the rest of the world, if you didnt want to get excluded.

It's giving "kid doesnt want to share toy, so they take it home and cry when nobody wants to play with them anymore" vibes. Pathetic.

"After demonstrating Washington controlled disable switch, US manufacturers surprised at weapon sales drop"

What a crazy time to be alive. The "slap a tarrif on everything" administration bitching about fair play. Why would EU consider the US over the EU for purchases? Even if we got rid of all the current idiocy, seems like it would be a matter of national security to have local production of matériel.

Next step: dismantle US bases in EU and send the terrorists back whence they came from

Weren't you people whining about how everyone else in NATO wasn't pulling their weight and you were tired of carrying us?

"Isolationism FTW!"

"Wait, why are we being isolated??"

top us official can eat poo

Didn't we (the US) literally stop sharing intelligence with Germany? Like what do you expect?

There is no finer compliment than an American insult. A shithole country.

Landau is a moron of a murican.... anyway.

The USA is losing, forget about them.

...from the US, fuck this guy....as a human, we need to do better...

I can't afford to have a personal employee to do stuff for me, why could I afford a tech prompt to do tech things for me? Why would I want to?

European bureucrats like von der Leyen are spineless American lapdogs. They will apologise and kiss Trump's feet. They always have.

Maybe that’s because we pissed everybody off.

The US just needs to pull itself up by the bootstraps and keep applying to more countries to land a contract.

Why didn't Europe protect me from the consequences of my own actions?

It's like they're not trusting the US for the defence of their sovereignty. That's weird. I wonder why.

Tarriftopia complaining about "protectionist and exclusionary policies that bully American companies out of the market" is amazing.

Just wait until the post-tariff trade deals start hitting in a year or two.

America doesn't have any idea yet the scope of disaster that Donald has created, and the worst part is that he and the other billionaires are insulated from it.

Dear USA,

Womp womp.

Sincerely,

Everywhere Else.

European here. Good. Our elected officials are not yet so stupid as to think that stupid man has any actual sense.

Washington is unhappy that some European arms programs limit U.S. participation.

Ok, we can make it all arms programs.

Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau on Wednesday slammed European NATO allies for prioritizing their own defense industry over American arms suppliers

BITCH YOU LITERALLY TOLD US THAT IS WHAT YOU WANTED.

Get fucked. I don't consider the US allies anyway, we don't ally with fascists.

Edit: i have been informed that I am to ease on the hyperbole, so correction: read the former through a lens of less hyperbole, violence is bad

Hasn't the regime been tell them to do more for their own defenses? Why are they getting mad at them for doing what was asked?

Womp womp.

Looks like a smug fuck.

The EU is buying a ton of American weapons though?

When is US going to start buying Eurofighter or Leopard 2 then?

...as a US citizen, i am ashamed.

slammed

The whole point of Europe handing our defense companies to the rear view mirror is to get away from relying on us. I as a american hope they do. The more they do the smaller US defense companies become and that is a good thing for america and its citizens.

The orange man likely shouldn't have been broadcasting out that he'd sell sub-standard equipment to allies, because "maybe they won't be our allies for long" then.

I know, if America wants to convince the rest of the western world that its arms are top notch, they should provide gear to Ukraine and allow Ukraine to use it without restriction -- seeing those arms actually defeat the Russian arms, would be a convincing case that US arms are high quality. Cause right now, that conflict isn't exactly a winning endorsement of being a US Ally, or buying US kit.

Instead, all we see is the states vulture-circling its client while handicapping their ability to defend themselves with seemingly sub standard weaponry. We see countries like India shifting to Russian arms deals, likely in part because of this sort of thing. Why buy American, if American arms are not allowed to be used against an aggressor nation? Why buy American, if owning those weapons means that Russia can still steamroll you due to America siding with Russia and salivating over your resources?

European bureucrats like von der Leyen are spineless American lapdogs. They will apologise and kiss Trump’s feet. They always have.

respond by expelling thier embassies.
