Summary
A YouGov poll in five Western European countries found majorities view Donald Trump as a threat to European peace, with concerns rising after he suspended military aid to Ukraine.
Most respondents oppose Kyiv’s exclusion from U.S.-Russia peace talks and doubt Europe alone could support Ukraine.
Support for increased defense spending remains limited, despite fears that Russia could attack again.
Proposals for European peacekeepers in Ukraine have mixed support. The survey highlights growing skepticism about U.S. commitments to NATO and European security.
Doesn’t the majority of everyone everywhere think this by now?
We’ve been saying this in the U.S. since 2016.
Is that the same ‘we’ that voted him in again?
At this point that’s like saying the meteor was a “threat” to dinosaurs
If US commitment to the NATO nuclear umbrella is questioned, Russia will attempt to capitalize on it.
Threats of nuclear action are considerably more believable when there’s no threat of nuclear retaliation. Ukraine would never have been invaded if they still had nuclear weapons.
You won’t have to worry about Trump for long. We abstained in the election and let Trump win, and now the Democrats understand that genocide is wrong and they’re working tirelessly to stop Trump. You’re welcome.
Only western Europeans? I would think eastern Europeans are even more terrified of the implications of Trump being an obvious FSB asset.
They only asked Western Europeans.
No shit Sherlock
Objectively he is.
I think at this point for majority of the world, this is common sense now.
You’re right damn this is just hitting me. This chain of events has enabled china to take over much of the Pacific islands and other nations they ‘claim’ are theirs by historical right. The russians will come for the European continent and the usa will make majorly predatory moves on the American continents. Fuck, the entire world has been made unsafe.
Many europeans always have thought about USA as a threat to peace. The migrants crisis in europe is a direct result of USA fucking up the middle east for decades.
My British Dad, circa 1988: “America’s a strange place, they usually do the right thing, but they’re a bit nuts… they love guns.”
AMERICA!!! FUCK YEAA!!!
And we fuck up other places to, lets not sell the US short.
And now we have far-right ultranationalistic movements popping up through Europe as a result.
If the western world turns fully towards darkness as it has before during the world wars, the European ideals will get crushed quickly by superpowers on both sides. I cant see Europe being able to defend itself for long if USA goes fully satanic.
The western world does not need to turn into darkness. It never left it.
Majority of western Europeans are paying attention, survey finds
A minority of western Europeans are idiots.
Breaking news, really. The dude who threatens to invade his allies is a threat to peace, bravo! If we keep up this pace with dealing with the situation, then we are doomed.
The US has always been the largest threat to world peace
Unlike glorious Putin, right?
Fill us in when any other country has 900 military bases around the world
So you agree invading sovereign countries is bad?
You ask that with zero context as if things happen in a vacuum
You didn’t answer me. What context justifies invading sovereign countries?
I’m not going to engage in conversation with someone that just started paying attention to Ukraine two years ago.
So you are saying the invasion of Ukraine was justified because of things that happened before 2 years ago?
What context justifies invading sovereign nations?
User is a Russian apologist. Check his history.
Calling out liberal bullshit doesn’t make someone a Russian apologist. Unless everything you hate is Russian, which sounds like the mind of an undeveloped child.
I’m aware. Voyager’s tagging feature is very useful.
Extremely useful!
I just wish there was a way for them to sync across devices :(
always
Even in July 1914? Interesting take.
