I have made it very clear that I no longer support Trump and I’m very thankful to him for making it clear that I have nothing to do with him. The new Trump is a rotting husk of the old Trump.
I hope 47 enjoys Mark Levine being his spirit animal..
USA:
-Blows up the Nordstream pipeline
-Gets Europe to sign humiliating tariff deal
-Threatens to take over Greenland
-Insults the European troops who died fighting for the USA in Afghanistan
-Starts a war that has the potential to ruin the European economy without consulting Europe
-Demands Europe help in the war they started that they are now losing
And somehow Europe is the one guilty of betrayal? I really am not getting how people are making this argument.
Dear Americans,
for the 1000th time,
it is not NATO's job to bail you out from a disastrous war in the middle east you started for no fucking reason.
Please stop crying and whining over it already,
it's frankly embarrassing.
NATO has frequently forbidden the use of bases and airspace for American adventurism throughout history of the alliance.
It's a defense alliance, not an offense alliance.
More to the point, they are allies of AMERICA not TRUMP. Trump's unilateral actions are unprecedented in the history of the alliance. They are still strong American allies despite Trump's bullying and threats.
So basically, ever since NATO refused to dance to Washington's war drums in the Middle East, there has been this lobotomized trend of Americans pushing for their "sweet and all-powerful" country to pull out of NATO to "teach Europe a lesson."
It is worth noting that I've seen plenty of room-temperature IQ takes on this platform, but this one right here takes the trophy.
Understand that America cannot pull out of NATO because doing so would be tantamount to a high-speed suicide.
1. BASES ARE NOT CHARITY HOUSES:
Fact is that, American bases scattered around Europe are not a collection of homeless shelters for soldiers. They are being used by America to project raw power. They are the forward-operating gas stations of American hegemony. Those bases allow the US to protect trade routes and strike anywhere on the planet in a matter of hours. America has the ability to force and bully the world into using the dollar to buy oil today specifically because of these bases. Without these bases acting as drainage pipes around the Persian Gulf, America would not stand a single, solitary chance against Iran.
So Americans, understand that you u are not "protecting" the EU; you're squatting in their yard so you can keep your boot on the world’s throat.
2. CLOSE ALL TRADE:
Again, even with a rudimentary, fifth-grade knowledge of Economics, it’s not difficult to see that should America decide to close all trade with the EU, Americans will be eating their own shoes within weeks.
Cutting the EU off would send the US stock market into an unprecedented nose dive and ensure that the "Made in the USA" sticker becomes a pathetic relic of a bygone era.
You’re not "punishing" the Europeans; you’re amputating your own legs here.
3. THE TECH BAN:
Refusing to sell military equipment to Europe may sound "alpha" to the Twitter keyboard warriors until you realize that American military industries like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Raytheon employ hundreds of thousands of Americans. Closing that market corridor is an automatic sack letter to that entire labor force, which would collapse the US economy overnight.
Furthermore, the EU won't just sit there and cry like a baby,they will simply outsource their military equipment from Russia and China, and case closed.
The American economy would effectively grind to a halt while your rivals cashed the checks.
4. INTELLIGENCE SHARING:
This is the most delusional part of the entire manifesto. Intelligence sharing is a two-way street. If America refuses to share intelligence with the EU, then the EU shuts the blinds on America likewise.
If their radar detects Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles from North Korea, China, or Russia heading for US soil, and you've "cut them off," they are not going to pick up the phone either. Before your own local radar can even pick up the signal, half of America’s major cities would already be buried under the rubble.
Conclusion:
This "Catturd" manifesto is a bluff written by people disconnected from reality who have enjoyed the safety and luxury of a US-led world for so long they’ve forgotten how they got it.
You can't be the "greatest nation on earth" while hiding under your bed and refusing to talk to the neighbors.
Cutting off the EU is not "America First." It’s America Finishing Last, alone, irrelevant, and blind, while the rest of the world moves on without the dying and outdated empire.
100,000 American troops in Europe = a free ride for Europeans?
Let's check the facts.
🔹 American military bases are not free
Germany, Italy, Spain, and Romania pay for the infrastructure, land, utilities, and civilian personnel of US bases. Germany alone contributes over $1 billion annually to support the American military presence on its soil.
🔹 Europe is the largest customer of the American defense industry
F-35s, Patriot missiles, HIMARS, Apaches — all purchased by Europeans with real money. Every security alarm in Europe translates into contracts for Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Boeing.
🔹 American bases in Europe don't only protect Europe
Ramstein in Germany coordinates operations across Africa and the Middle East. Sigonella in Italy covers the Mediterranean and North Africa. Romania secures the eastern flank and the Black Sea. These are global American strategic assets — not neighborhood security for Europeans.
🔹 Command is American, not European
NATO is always led by an American Supreme Commander (SACEUR). Europe contributes troops, bases, and money — but America holds the controls. Those who control the structure are not the ones getting a free ride.
🔹 The nuclear umbrella is not altruism
American nuclear deterrence in Europe keeps the dollar as the world's reserve currency, keeps European markets open to US corporations, and legitimizes American hegemony against Russia and China.
But what would actually happen if America withdrew its troops from Europe?
🔹 For America — immediate strategic losses
Without bases in Europe, American response time to any crisis in Europe, Africa, or the Middle East grows from hours to days. Ramstein, Sigonella, and Incirlik cannot be replaced by aircraft carriers. Infrastructure built over decades disappears overnight.
🔹 The American defense industry loses its biggest customer
A Europe without the US umbrella will build its own defense industry — and fast. Airbus Military, KNDS, Leonardo, and Rheinmetall will take the contracts that Lockheed and Raytheon currently win. Billions of dollars shift from America to Europe.
🔹 The dollar weakens
Dollar hegemony is partly sustained by American global military credibility. A withdrawal from Europe signals to the world that America no longer guarantees the postwar order. Alternatives — the euro, the yuan — become more attractive as global reserve options.
🔹 Russia wins without firing a single shot
Not necessarily through immediate invasion — but through political influence, energy pressure, and the gradual destabilization of countries on the eastern frontier. The Baltic states, Poland, and Romania enter a security grey zone that no one can guarantee quickly.
🔹 China watches and draws conclusions about Taiwan
A precedent of withdrawal from Europe sends a direct signal to Beijing: American commitments are negotiable. The cost of deterrence in the Pacific rises exponentially.
Withdrawal is not isolationism. It is strategic abdication.
America would not be leaving Europe because it no longer has interests there.
It would be leaving while ignoring that those very interests are what make it a superpower.
The "free ride" narrative doesn't describe Europe.
It describes exactly what America has in Europe.
> Did not help Britain in the Falklands War
> Hung Britain out to dry during the Suez Crisis
> US President mocks the dead NATO soldiers who helped in Afghanistan etc at America’s request
Why should we now help you in a war you foolishly started that is of no benefit to us?
@iAnonPatriot This guy doesnt know how nato works. I swear to god, these days americans really show how retarded they are. Leave europe alone and go fight your wars for israel on your own.
@AriFleischer Start a war, agressively try to drag european nations in, make fun of europeans, make fun of our military, then come and cry because you get your ass kicked in iran. Fuck off.
@catturd2 Maybe its time for the US to find somebody else to fight their wars for them. What is the logic here ? Go out and attack a country, crash europes economy, make fun of us and then come crying and asking for our help. Thats not how it works.
@amuse Next time the US shouldnt start a war and try to drag europe in. None of our countries had anything to do with this at the start, and the only one responsible for this shitshow is trump. If you want to get out, then do it, leave nato and keep us out of your pointless little wars
@USronaldcarter Nobody told the US to attack iran. Nobody told them to listen to israel and mindlessly bomb a middle east country AGAIN. Why should anyone in nato care about the shitshow that israel and the united states started ? Not our war.
