European leaders have called for greater unity and military cooperation across the continent in response to comments from Donald Trump that threatened to undermine the basis of Nato.
Donald Tusk, Poland’s prime minister, said on a visit to Paris on Monday that there was “no alternative” to the EU and the transatlantic alliance before a summit in which he discussed deepening defence relationships with the French president, Emmanuel Macron.
“It is probably here in Paris that the words from The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas resonate most clearly: ‘All for one, and one for all,’” said Tusk, in a thinly veiled riposte to the former US president and frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination.
America is quickly loosing the strong leadership persona it’s held for decades due to the utter stupidity of its leaders (both former and current). Biden has been lax on his oversight, but in fairness to him he had a shitshow to contend with in dealing with the fallout from Jan 6.
Come Nov Americans had better figure it out before everything it’s worked for goes spinning down the drain.
I think it probably started with George W. Bush and especially the way he reacted to 9/11. The way they’ve been winding back those mistakes has been milquetoast at best.
Terrorists win.
Loosing isn’t the right word
How convenient for countries that consider the USA unfriendly.
Hey didn’t that Tucker guy just have an interview with Putin? What now?
Biden is fine. It’s your fascist problem we’re worried about.
Sincerely,
Europe
As an American it’s equally annoying how people cannot fucking see what a great job Biden has done overall. Land of the Free, Home of the Dumb
It’s a little much to call them dumb when wages haven’t gone up by nearly as much as literally everything else has.
As compared to what? The inflationary rates of the rest of the world? Because things cost more everywhere and comparatively the US weathered that better than about anywhere else. Real Wages have also have increased a lot to compensate in comparison as well. US is smoking other countries in this regard. People ARE dumb because they lack the critical thinking skills to actually look what’s going on.
The Inflation rate is lower than most other countries AND real wages have risen much more in America compared to peer countries as well. Each one of them would trade their numbers with the US in a heartbeat.
Feelings aren’t facts, turns facts are facts. And the fact is when measuring real numbers Biden has absolutely crushed it.

Do you really think Americans are comparing their economy to those of other countries?
Don’t be silly.
Isn’t that the point I was making?
No?
You started off by calling Americans “dumb” for not thinking Biden has done a great job. I pointed out that wages have not kept up with inflation so it’s not surprising that many aren’t feeling the love for Biden.
Then you argued that other countries have it worse, which I argued is irrelevant.
And I pointed out that wages actually did go up, moreso than any other country on the planet. Then pointed out that inflation has been the lowest of any country as well! And cited it! Yet that is not good enough. No one has had it easier than Americans following the pandemic.
Your feelings are not matching up with reality. Your situation might suck, idk but the overall situation is comparatively better than everywhere else.
