Summary
French President Emmanuel Macron urged Europe to “wake up” and strengthen its defense in response to Donald Trump’s second-term inauguration.
Highlighting potential U.S. policy shifts, including reduced support for Ukraine and a military pivot to the Pacific, Macron emphasized Europe’s need to reduce reliance on U.S. security.
He called for increased European military spending, robust aid to Ukraine, and guarantees for its security post-war.
Macron’s remarks underscore concerns about U.S. disengagement and aim to prompt Europe to play a larger role in global security.
We’re at day 2. Europe sat on its hands with a wait and see attitude. Meanwhile, In Washington, Trumps allies were throwing hands into seig heil gestures…
Europe needs to prepare for war, if Donny’s date with Putin doesn’t result in Putin fucking off, then no one is going to stop Russia, but Europe.

Republicans.
