Is this the end of the West? | LBC analysis
[quote]LBC's Washington Correspondent Simon Marks spoke to Matt
Frei on what he sees as the creeping 'North Korean' character of
the Trump administration.
Simon spoke to Matt after a meeting between Volodymyr Zelenskyy,
Donald Trump and JD Vance in the Oval Office erupted into
shouting on Friday.
Donald Trump warned Zelenskyy to "make a deal or we're out" as
he accused the Ukrainian president of "gambling with World War
Three".
The two leaders clashed during their Oval Office meeting, with
Trump branding Zelenskyy "disrespectful".
After Zelenskyy warned that the US would feel the impact of the
war if it continues, Trump interrupted saying: "Don't tell us
what we're going to feel. We're trying to solve a problem."
The testy exchange continued with both Trump and vice president
JD Vance saying that Ukraine should be thankful for US support
in the war.
Trump claimed he had empowered Zelenskyy to be a tough guy,
adding: "You wouldn’t be a tough guy without us."
Following the intense interaction, Trump issued a statement
saying Zelenskyy was not ready for peace, with a planned press
conference being called off by the leaders.[/quote]

Can Baltic Sentry patrols counter Russia's 'shadow fleet'? | DW
News
[quote]Since Donald Trump returned to power, Europe is worried
it can no longer depend on the US as a reliable ally. The Baltic
countries in particular are concerned about being left on their
own - especially given the signs that Russia is already using
underhand methods to attack. Moscow is suspected of being behind
several acts of sabotage in recent months. DW's Juri Rescheto
reports from an Estonian warship in the Gulf of Finland, and
sits down with Estonian President Alar Karis. We also speak to
the director of NATO’s Strategic Communications Centre of
Excellence, Janis Sarts, in Riga.

Looks like everyone's just going to cut ties with the U.S. and
keep the show going without the U.S....

Could you Rearm Europe without US Weapons? - Equipping a Unified
European Military (April 1 special)
[quote]One of the great challenges European defence planners
face is that defence procurement across the bloc is highly
fragmented. There is no single Europe wide force or procurement
effort to generate the kind of scales and efficiencies the USA,
Russia or the PRC can.
But what if there was?
It's as close to April 1 as we're going to get this year, and so
by popular vote, today we're taking a lighthearted look at the
question of whether you could equip a pan-European Defence Force
without importing any American platforms or major systems.
Is all of Europe agreeing to standardise their equipment
realistic? no.
But does it illustrate some interesting points about the
capabilities and limits of Europe's Defence Industry? Let's find
out...

US wants Europeans to spend more on defense | DW News
[quote]US Secretary of State Marco Rubio insists Washington
remains committed to NATO. Rubio's visit to the alliance's
headquarters in Brussels is aimed at reassuring members worried
that the US could pull troops out of Europe. President Trump has
cast doubt on the adminstration's willingness to come to
Europe's aid. Rubio has asked allies to boost their defense
spending to at least 5% of national output.[/quote]

The problem now being of course, the fact that many Europeans
can no longer trust the U.S.

Ummm, how does telling the EU to spend more on defense while
simultaneously launching a trade war against them actually look
to anyone that is sane?
