Nay, I don't think most people understand how hard Trump's policy is going to hit the US soon. Bro EU isn't losing anything.

If there is anyone that stands the risk of losing here it is Trump. The only reason the EU is not antagonizing him like he is to them, is that they know he only has four years. Once his four years is over, it will be business as usual. I don't think Trump really understands the fact that US is as powerful as it is today because of the supports he gets from other nations more especially EU.

EU is the only continent that has followed the US to all her war, even when it wasn't popular amongst her people. Time will tell, for now Trump is still the enjoying the benefit from the policies of last administration.
The EU is dependent on US more than US is on EU.
Us has been sponsoring upto 80% of NATO's spending.
Us has spent 500b USD on the Ukraine war, how much has EU spent collectively
US is the highest buyer of EU cars.
Trump told EU that NATO's agreed that every member should pay 2% of it's GDP, has EU done it?

California is richer than the richest country in Europe (Germany).
The EU cannot be beating the drums of war and the US is paying for the war, that's why Trump always says that the past US presidents are just foolish.
Vance went to Europe and washed their leaders telling them that they are their own problems.
What is happening now is that US is moving away from the parasitic alliance with EU and is looking for a more mutual benefiting alliance. If the next president after Trump continues with this then Europe will be toast and America would come out stronger. Mark my words

Smh. It's obvious that you can't comprehend my post.

The Ukrainians can't win a straight war against these guys but resistance is painfully long drawn to wore out the occupying force. That's what defeated apartheid at last. Let them come in and take over Ukraine then sabotage them. You bring your friends close then bring your enemies closer is what applies in this case. It's playing out in the Middle East right now and that's what suddenly hit the Isreal government today. The resistance to chase them out of the Middle East is real and potent. It's just a matter of time, they will eventually chase them out.

Ukraine has the option to take a painful long road to freedom now.
The situation in Ukraine is quite different, the people of Eastern Ukraine 🇺🇦 where the war are taking place are ethic Russian and they fully supported Russian special operation against the Ukrainian Government.

Some of the captured Ukrainian territories eg Mariupol et al; has been reconstructed by Russian Government, ( you can check it out on YouTube).

Therefore resistance force against the Russian force is dead on arrival because the people of Eastern Ukraine 🇺🇦 approved and welcome the Special Military operation of the Russian government.

This is probably Russia's biggest gamble. To make sure America doesn't support Ukraine
Actually to legitimise the invasion. If US does a partnership with Russia, they have indirectly legitimised the invasion.
Trump won't see that part of the hurdles and would probably barrel through with it.
As always, it would explode in the faces of the republicans. Only issue is that their voters won't care.

Lobatan. Ukraine just got scammed.

If the Ukrainians know what is good for them, they should sack Zelensky the inexperienced leader and turn the warfare into a resistance struggle against both Russian and USA.

None of the trio of Zelensky, Putin or Trump can save them. Only a Patriotic, courageous charismatic Leader like Nelson Mandela, Yahya Sinwar, Washington, Obafemi Awolowo, Gaddafi can deliver them.

Let the Russians come in then squeeze them like Taliban did to USA till USA flee from their land.


Cowards die several times before their own death. Granted that they are lazy and cowardly but they They can't run for ever. Zelensky is not the kind of leader they need. They should start by sacking him first.
are you the kind of citizen nigeria needs?

how well have you put your parochial ethnic bias in check for the good of nigeria?

can you die for nigeria?

Hmm Zelensky... You need to be street smart to understand his game. But I can explain a little.

If he did not attempt to join NATO, why on earth will he get over $350billion USD from US alone aside those coming from Europe. Funny enough Putin never bombed the banks🙄😊.

I doubt if Zelensky and Putin are not both laughing hard on Turaya encrypted secured line... 🙄☹️🤔

Anyways...What do I know 😎

California is richer than the richest country in Europe (Germany). is its wealth evenly distributed?

what is the joy in being richer than Germany and then having the highest poverty rate than all the other states in the US?

Did this same Europe not join US in fighting its wars in Afghanistan and the middle east?

You should research about the Minsk Agreement between Ukraine, the west and Russia and who bridge the Agreement.

Before Russia SMO, there has been DPR
(Donetsk People's Republic) and LPR (Luhansk People's Republic) of eastern Ukraine forming a resistant force against the Ukrainian government forces.

You should put your data in good use.

Imagine Russia (Putin) and the US (Trump) becoming the Twin Monsters that will torment the whole world leading us to Armageddon.

The Scripture described two monstrous or powerful evil entities that could be interpreted as twin-like figures.

The Book of Revelation: Chapter 13 introduces two beasts, both empowered by Satan (the dragon ):

The First Beast (Beast from the Sea) – A monstrous creature with seven heads and ten horns, representing a powerful kingdom or ruler (often linked to the Antichrist).

The Second Beast (Beast from the Earth) – This beast deceives people, and forces them to worship the first beast.

These two creatures work together.

The books of Job 40–41 & Isaiah 27:1 describe two monstrous creatures:

Leviathan – A serpentine sea monster, often symbolic of chaos and evil.

Behemoth – A land-dwelling beast, representing massive power and dominance.
Trump not the twin to any Armageddon.forget that illusion in your brains
Somebody is trying to find solution to the war and you are saying twin to one Amma gadon

I'm not talking of wealth distribution here, I'm not sure of what use it is to this arguement 😂 I'm trying to tell you that EU is benefiting more from US and the US will be fine without them
They went to those wars with them, what was their contribution?
NATO is being funded mainly by the US so if NATO goes to war who do u think is contributing more to the war?
The EU is becoming a leach and if they don't sit up the US will ditch them

if you acknowledge that European countries joined the US in fighting its wars in Afghanistan and the middle east, how come they didnt contribute anything?

Re: Putin Offers Russian And Ukrainian Rare Minerals To US by Xiaohei(m): 4:21pm On Feb 25, 2025
The Ukrainians fought a good battle against might Russia, and they didn’t back down. Putin thought he could run Ukraine over in a month but three years down the line, Putin couldn’t defeat Ukraine in spite of all the fighters sent in from North Korea; and technical support from Iran and to some extent, China. Ukraine fought Russia to a stalemate. Personally I’m glad the senseless war is gradually coming to an end all thanks to Trump who has repeatedly said the meaningless killings of troops from both Russia and Ukraine had to stop.

u think interpreting the Bible is for everybody bah? 🧐

when trump eventually finishes his tenure without the Armageddon ,u will now come up with another excuse, by interpreting another Bible verse again to prove your false point. Africa must everything be religion related. yet your country is still in mess.

u better focus on your country

1. US is the major contributor they contribute 16% not 80% double check your figure. NATO pays US more than anyone else, NATO is US way of asserting her power. If NATO means nothing to them they should scrap it and withdraw their troops and stop paying a dime to NATO. grin

2. I am not sure about EU being more dependent on the US than the US is on the EU. Maybe in terms of security, but in terms of bilateral trade and international relationship, EU is the most reliable partner the US can ever get in todays world. Even China can't take that spots. So the EU is as valuable to the US, as the US is to the EU. Trump is only blowing hot air. Have you ever imagined what would happen, if the EU refused to go along with the US and decided to sit on the fence or even tend to lean more to China than they lean to the USA?

3. The Ukraine war, which one of the ideas was to push the NATO border further, was a big plus for US security if they had succeeded, hence, it pays US more and they should pay more. Moreover, after second world war, Germany was disarmed on the agreement that US will provide military support. The same situation Ukraine found themselves with Russia for giving up their nukes is what EU found themselves in for believing the USA. EU is slowly coming to terms with what is happening and they are upping their military expense (that is if the leftist don't get in the way of it).

4. US maybe the highest buyer of EU cars, US is still the largest exporter/importer of goods and services. EU and Britain are still amongst the 5 top importer/exporter of goods from/to the US . So like I pointed out earlier US is as important to EU as EU is to the US.
