The problem with this war isn't with the Americans. It's with the Europeans, and in particular the countries of Poland, France, Germany, Spain, the UK, and Italy. They have systemically defunded their militaries, and in particular, the Germans have destroyed their military capabilities compared to the Cold War. You guys let Putin run roughshod over you. Where is EU armor in western, and eastern Ukraine, where are the Eurofighter Typhoons, EU F-35s, and French Rafales protecting Ukrainian airspace? Oh yeah in War Thunder forums you guys love to talk about the greatness of the Leopard 2 Tank, the Leclerc Tank, and all mightily Challenger 2. Well, the one time you are needed it's well you see Russia has nukes. France has nukes too you idiots, and so does the British despite Corbyn's meekness. I doubt most Russian ICBMS and half of their bombs even work due to bad maintenance.
Guyana, Kuwait, and Armenia aren't in NATO either, and the US told the dictators wanting to invade to piss off or face a counterbalancing force. Or they just bombed the invaders. If Venezuela invaded Mexico on China's orders, the Mexican army asked for help. Every single combat aircraft in the US would be headed towards Carcas. Americans aren't warmongers we are serious about protecting our national security, unlike the EU, and over half of NATO. Poland literally couldn't even protect Ukrainian truckers despite having the second-biggest military in Europe. The French still have delusions about having to have an empire in Africa for fuck sake when their backyard is being attacked. The Germans have black and white thinking believing every single military action they do is bad.
I would respect a Europe that didn’t fight with the US in Afghanistan based on reasonable analysis that it won’t work, and wouldn’t fight for the US in Iraq based on analysis about the Shia-Sunni divide. Then formed an EU army and crushed the Russian forces with US supplies. Why? Because it's your fucking continent. Why don’t you fight for your people in Europe, aren’t you all Europeans? The Americans would fight for America, the Chinese would fight for China, and the Russians for Russians, The Europeans are arguing about regulating tech companies, and there are actual academics that will argue that Europe rules the world based on their obnoxious regulations.
There are illegal migrants in the US being split on by the US-born natives who would die for this country (U.S.) if China or Russia invaded Seattle not because they are brainwashed, but because they want to protect their home. Protect your fucking home Europeans. Stop letting the left-wing rabble-rousers on the internet funded by Wagner, and Chinese trolls tell you what to do. You are better than that.
And I know what’s going to happen next. Some guy or girl from the UK, or Ireland, or Europe in general. Will go point by fucking point on how I am a Neo-Con (I am not), how I suffer from US propaganda (I don’t watch TV news), how empires are bad(Self-defense is not bad), how Europeans suffer from colonial guilt(As if the US doesn’t), etc. And come up with pure cope and excuses on why they shouldn’t boot Russian tanks from Ukraine.
I mean you guys call me a chicken hawk. Which may or may not be true. But if China invaded San Francisco or Canada or someplace in Mexico. I will grab an AR-15, a car full of medical supplies, and head to my nearest recruiting center, if they are full, I google the surrounding area, and I do insider attacks on the PLA. You guys are cowards of the highest order. Blatant cowardice that will not be rewarded in the future. If we survive climate change and we will, future generations will see the current EU + UK and its self-indulged citizens as the softest, most cowardly, and blatant. They will be the example to AVOID.
Ignore Putin's threats and fight for the Ukrainians for fuck sake.
So why can’t/didn’t the US defend Ukraine? The answer is simple, we are stretched too long. Ukraine is not in the US backyards but it’s YOUR backyard. The US has to divide its attention between Russia, North Korea China, Iran, and Venezuela. If the US sends half, its troops to Ukraine and half its air force China will invade Taiwan. If the EU builds up its forces from 2014 to 2022. And helped Ukraine fend off Russian aggression no one would care.
And it’s funny. What did Europe gain from dropping Ukraine to the wolves? Did it gain an enormous GDP, a vibrant tech sector, and a large economy? No. They stayed the same in tech, and let the Americans pounce by beating everyone including the EU with ChatGPT 4, Google Bard, and others.
You people ought to be ashamed of your selfish governments, and yourselves.
