NATO – US Excluded From Plan!

NATO’s latest war-hungry scheme involves 30 countries plotting to send up to 30,000 troops into Ukraine – all while excluding the United States from critical planning discussions.

At a Glance

 

• UK-led coalition of 30 countries met at NATO HQ to plan deploying 10,000-30,000 troops to Ukraine
• The United States was notably absent from planning discussions, despite European acknowledgment that American support is crucial
• Russia has warned that deploying European peacekeepers would escalate the conflict
• European nations are reconsidering initial plans due to Ukraine’s deteriorating military position
• 200 military planners are actively working to increase European military involvement in Ukraine

 

Europe’s Military Fantasy Shows Cracks Without American Muscle

In what can only be described as another misguided attempt to flex non-existent military might, European defense ministers gathered in Brussels this week to plot sending troops into Ukraine. The meeting, chaired by UK Defense Secretary John Healey, brought together representatives from approximately 30 countries to discuss deploying a “multinational force” of 10,000-30,000 troops to Ukraine – supposedly to enforce some future peace agreement with Russia. Notably absent from this strategic planning session? The United States of America.

 

You’d think that before planning to poke the Russian bear, these European nations would ensure their strongest ally was on board. But apparently, common sense doesn’t apply at NATO headquarters. Finnish Defense Minister Annit Häkkänen admitted what everyone already knows but Brussels bureaucrats hate to acknowledge: “The United States is a crucial player still in guaranteeing lasting security in Ukraine.”

 

Europe’s Military Reality Check

When was the last time Europe fought a major conflict without American support? Oh right, that didn’t end so well. Yet here we are, with Britain and France leading the charge into another potential disaster. What’s particularly rich is that these nations are the same ones that have spent decades shrinking their militaries and failing to meet NATO spending commitments. Now they’re suddenly warmongers eager to send troops to Ukraine’s eastern border?

 

“When Ukraine was in a better position, the idea of sending troops appealed. But now, with the situation on the ground and the U.S administration as it is, it’s not very sexy.” said one European diplomat told Reuters.

 

The quote from an unnamed European diplomat reveals the truth behind this charade. This isn’t about security guarantees or deterrence – it’s about political posturing. European leaders wanted to look tough when they thought Ukraine might win. Now that reality has set in and Ukraine is losing ground, suddenly they’re “re-dimensioning” their plans to “something more sensible.” Translation: they’re backing away from their tough talk because they’ve realized they might actually have to fight.

🚨Update: The NEW NATO minus – the US, will be a small insignificant alliance of privileged countries that have no real defense. It’s time for the US to cut off all NATO funding and order all US forces to redeploy back to the US mainland. It’s time to cut ties with Europe!! pic.twitter.com/LhvICjKKLD

Playing with Fire: Russia’s Response

Has anyone in Brussels considered what Russia thinks about this brilliant plan to deploy thousands of European troops to Ukraine? Russia has been crystal clear that it considers European peacekeepers in Ukraine to be inappropriate and potentially escalating the conflict. Moscow has stated it’s open to unarmed observers and civilian missions to monitor agreements – a reasonable position that acknowledges the complex realities of the situation while avoiding direct military confrontation.

 

“If there was again a generalized aggression against Ukrainian soil, these armies would, in fact, be under attack and then it’s our usual framework of engagement.” French President Emmanuel Macron said.

 

French President Emmanuel Macron’s statement should send chills down every European citizen’s spine. He’s casually discussing the scenario where European armies come under attack from Russia, which would trigger “our usual framework of engagement” – a euphemism for a wider European war with a nuclear power. This reckless rhetoric from European leaders is exactly how small conflicts become world wars. Meanwhile, defense chiefs admit they’re struggling to build a “credible deterrent force” due to their drastically reduced post-Cold War militaries.

 

The Uncomfortable Truth

Here’s what the bureaucrats in Brussels won’t admit: without America, Europe’s military capabilities are woefully inadequate to confront Russia. After decades of letting America shoulder the NATO burden while they built lavish welfare states and virtue-signaled about their peaceful intentions, European nations have found themselves militarily unprepared when an actual conflict erupts on their doorstep. Some participating countries have openly acknowledged they’re hesitant to contribute without U.S. support due to their limited capabilities.

 

“We must put more pressure on (Russia’s) President Putin to end his war.” said John Healey, Britain’s defense minister.

 

UK Defense Secretary John Healey’s rhetoric betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of the situation. European leaders persist in characterizing this as “Putin’s war” that can be ended with enough “pressure,” ignoring the complex geopolitical realities and Russia’s legitimate security concerns about NATO expansion. More concerning, there are reports that 200 military planners are actively working on increasing European involvement in Ukraine, suggesting this isn’t just talk – it’s an active effort to draw Europe deeper into this conflict regardless of the consequences.
