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.
A majority of Western Europeans also have a better education than the majority of my fellow American citizens.
Majority of western Europeans are paying attention, survey finds
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.
Most if us un the US too, probably.
Both supporters and opponents.
The supporters want violence. Us opponents see that he is pushing for it.
Objectively he is.
A minority of western Europeans are idiots.
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.
If it was only peace lol.
He’s a threat the very survival of the specie.
Read that as: Majority of Western Europeans suspect ocean of containing water.
Yet support for increased defense spending is limited. I guess there may be a change in attitudes once the Americans enact tarrifs against the EU and/or formally leave NATO.
They don’t even have to leave NATO formally, just undermine confidence in article 5 enough that it’s no longer a deterrent.
Most countries have announced increased defense spending with support across the political spectrum and EU defense stocks are one of the few safe havens left during this tariff nonsense. France has offered a nuclear umbrella to its neighbours. Poland is up to 5% GDP on defence. Not sure what you mean by limited support but maybe I misunderstand.
“The great peacemaker” needs big wars so that he can eventually “make” a peace…
With USA going full fascism on its left, and Russia on its right… Europe is not in a good spot right now.
If the world turns really into darkness, 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.
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.
If the US commitment to their 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.
