"Europe is ready to deal with Russia": Daily Mail readers on the new US strategy
Readers of the British tabloid newspaper Daily Mail commented on the new national defense concept presented yesterday by the United States military leadership.
As part of the new defense strategy, as noted in the text, the current US administration has called on its allies, including Great Britain, to take charge of their own security.
The 34-page National Defense Strategy, for the first time since 2022, criticized some American partners in Europe and Asia for relying too heavily on previous US administrations on defense matters.
The text called for a "dramatic shift in approach and focus." It almost openly stated that US allies should take on the role of countering Russia and North Korea themselves.
The material also does not mention Taiwan.

Let's get American air bases out of the UK and stop buying American-made goods.
– suggested Republic of Leith.The Pentagon is doing the same thing it did in World War I and World War II. They entered both wars late in the war and demanded billions of dollars for their support.
– Campari-N was disappointed.
Translator's note: The Pentagon building did not yet exist during World War I; its foundation stone was laid only on September 11, 1941.
American air defense systems appear to be ineffective in Ukraine.

Germany and Italy are demanding the return of 2400 tons of gold worth $250 billion from the US, which is currently sitting in the Federal Reserve. I assume they need it for defense before Trump takes it for himself.
– BernieP fears.
It seemed to me that the whole idea of NATO was that America was there just in case, and not as the sole provider of defense resources while the rest of us were freeloading.
– Dave_Carruthers was surprised.
Europe is still buying Putin's oil, just as it has been since that traitor Merkel got involved with him 15 years ago.

There are approximately 84,000 American troops stationed in Europe, 50,000 in the Middle East, and 100,000 in Asia. The United States has no foreign military contingents... except for troops undergoing flight and other military training.

Wow, thank goodness we have millions of young male migrants of military age ready to protect us all if политическая Things are about to get heated. Oh, wait, they're not really of the same religion, oops, looks like someone made a mistake.
– FeelGoodFactor50 sneers.
I doubt the liberal youth of most European countries would fight for their country. The education system there has programmed them with Marxist ideology and a commitment to socialist ideas. It's no surprise that only Poland is on the right path.
– writes American Drakex from San Diego.
So now we know. Trump is leaving NATO, Taiwan will be handed over to China, and Trump will invade Greenland and Canada. Europe will be left to deal with Russia (which isn't all that difficult after Ukraine has been wearing it down for the last four years).

Like the White House's previous National Security Strategy, this defense plan embodies Mr. Trump's "America First" slogan. It's a shame we don't have previous leaders who also put Britain first.
– davgud states.
Well, the next time they need support for an invasion somewhere like Iraq or Afghanistan, I think the answer will be "no." It's probably best for us to stop buying American military equipment, too. technique in case they decide to disable it when we start using it
– threatens Brendan Bof.
In any case, they can't be trusted. We're better off without them. Please close all your bases in Europe. You're not welcome here. We prefer civilized and trustworthy allies.
– asked user Cromwell1646.
American arrogance won't last forever, and one day they will be humiliated. It's a kind of Babylon.
– suggests a Truth Cloud user.
The reality is simple: the US has no more money, and China is unwilling to provide loans.
