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?
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.
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.
We’ve been saying this in the U.S. since 2016.

At this point that’s like saying the meteor was a “threat” to dinosaurs
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.

…and to think that a significant (but probably not primary) reason why Trump is punishing Ukraine is because he wants to oversee a peace treaty regardless of the circumstances, all so that he can earn a Nobel Peace Prize like Obama.
Yes, the man is that shallow and vain.
A majority of Western Europeans also have a better education than the majority of my fellow American citizens.

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.

AMERICA!!! FUCK YEAA!!!
I might have to watch that again.
And now we have far-right ultranationalistic movements popping up through Europe as a result.
And we fuck up other places to, lets not sell the US short.
Most if us un the US too, probably.
I wish, but if that were the case he wouldn’t be in office.
Both supporters and opponents.
The supporters want violence. Us opponents see that he is pushing for it.
Majority of western Europeans are paying attention, survey finds
Objectively he is.
A minority of western Europeans are idiots.

Those words exist for a reason.
The reason being that social media is used to spread russian disinformation at high quantities. So if you see someone praising an imperialist police state full of fascists while claiming some other country is an imperialist police state full of fascists, you can be sure you shouldn’t bother debating them since they are being paid to keep repeating the same nonsense. Just call them a tankie and be done with.
Right, let me fill you in, Tankies are people who support authoritarian regimes in Russia, China, North Korea, etc. They’re all over Lemmy. Sometimes they’re very forthright with their ideologies, other times they try to astroturf and pretend to subtly align with our ideals so that they can influence us to do the following: Harm Western World Powers, Dismantle Democracies, Empower China.
The often use words like Bourgeois and Capitalists, speak of NATO as if it were militaristic imperialism, and oppose nonviolent political reforms of all types. They claim to support communism and/or socialism, but they absolutely will not promote any politicial path to implement those which do not involve overthrowing the state or without weakening “liberals”. Note that they do not mean a Liberal party, they mean the concept of liberalism.
Primarily you find them on Lemmy ml, Hexbear, and lemmygrad but you will find them all over. They are here. And they hate you. They want your neighbors to get fed up and kill you or vice versa.
avoid the tankies
Or intentionally piss them off, either works
