“Putina: NATO is a European Army. Some European nations pay greater percentage than US in military. Poland is at 4.7%. Us is at 3.2%.”
When did the USA become part of Europe? Let Europe have their military, pay for it themselves, and seek our support on a case-by-case basis when they go to war. You know, how this country was founded and ran for the first 175 years of its existence.

UKRAINE: Trump and his team have met with Zelensky and his advisors more than a dozen times, working to find a path toward peace, yet the moment Trump places a single call to Putin and plans a meeting, the media erupts in outrage. Zelensky refuses to negotiate directly with Putin, leaving Trump’s team to mediate—a process that almost always involves keeping the opposing sides apart while the intermediary shuttles between them, testing positions and searching for a settlement both dislike but can live with. This is how diplomacy works. By contrast, Biden and Zelensky spent three years avoiding direct talks with Putin, and the war dragged on with no progress. Diplomacy isn’t about self-righteous posturing; it’s about results, and results don’t come from refusing to engage.
