The worst-case scenario is now a possible one: European troops fighting off an invasion largely alone
It’s by no means clear the Europeans would succeed. Romanian and other European officials at the exercise in Cincu, about 260 kilometers (162 miles) north of Bucharest by road, voiced concerns about how long it would take for NATO allies to make it to the front.
French four-star General Philippe de Montenon said he’s confident Europe could prevail, even without the US on side.
“The direction of history is a progressive disengagement of the United States from the European continent,” he said.
Estonia’s total population : 1 million people
Latvia’s total population : 1.8 million people
Lettonia’s total population : 1.8 million people
This is why I’m genuinely ENRAGED when I see French politicians like Jean-Luc Mélenchon or Marine Lepen attack NATO. You motherfuckers. Go read some actual history books. NATO isn’t the big bad wolf. The Soviet Union was. The Russans murdered, raped, tortured people for decades. They built a fucking IRON WALL to prevent people from escaping. NATO is now the only thing that protects these small democracies.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon even said:
“I don’t care about the Baltics. I don’t feel we have anything in common with them. Are they even part of Europe ?”

Fucking piece of shit
Completely agree. The EU needs to arm and make itself a toothed wolf, ready against US, Russian, and Chinese imperialism, playing them out against each other!
