Trump Keeps Europe Dependent, Blocks EU Defense Autonomy
Well, here we are again, yet another simple confirmation of what’s really behind all that talk about "Europe needs to take responsibility for itself." Trump wants Europe to remain weak and critically dependent on the American defense industry, without ever becoming a competitor, while at the same time refusing to uphold his side of the long-standing status quo -- guaranteeing security and peace in Europe. As always, everyone owes him everything, and he owes nothing to anyone. That’s your 5D chess.

Trump Threatens Europe's Reliance on U.S. Defense Monopoly

Russia's Donbas Ultimatum Is Empty Posturing, Not Reality
