Supporting Ukraine is crucial for us because they are fighting a war that we are not involved in. It is important to engage in dialogue with our American colleagues and friends as they share the same interest. Supporting Ukraine is a cost-effective measure to ensure that Russia, under its current regime, does not pose a threat to the NATO alliance. This support must be sustained to safeguard our collective security.

I've spent a long day in meetings regarding the war. I'm grateful to our partners who recognize the need for strong positions both on the front lines and in diplomacy. For every two dollars invested in our long-range capabilities, we're seeing almost ten dollars in losses for Russia, which is the dynamic we need. I spoke with President Macron, the Prime Ministers of Denmark, Norway and Canada, and the Presidents of Finland and South Africa. We coordinated our positions, discussed further steps, and the future of Europe. I emphasized the need to free all our prisoners held by Russia, and the necessity of a reliable security guarantee system, so that war does not return. I thank you for your help and your feeling of unity, which is as important now as it was in 2022.

The discussion questions what NATO will contribute, especially in terms of deploying French soldiers to Ukraine, and then pivots to the broader military capacity of Europe. The speaker asserts that only a handful of militaries today can fight large-scale ground combat, and in Europe that group consists of the United States, Russia, and Ukraine. There is no European army today capable of large-scale ground combat. The speaker notes that Germany claims it will build the largest ground army in Europe, but cites a recent poll showing that only 16% of German men would be willing to fight and die for their country if Germany were invaded, and speculates about the willingness to fight if Germany were to take the fight abroad to invade somebody else. Regarding Britain, the speaker describes the entire British military as something that could be placed in a large soccer stadium, with 30,000 unsold seats, implying a perceived weakness or limited capability. The overarching point is that Europe is “a lot of huffing and puffing, but they can't blow the house down.”

I believe you will win. We will provide everything you need to succeed. Our success is not due to equipment, but your courage. Thank you. The world is watching because we cannot let Vladimir Putin succeed here, as it would set a precedent for other countries.

Thank God negotiations have begun; Europe should have been involved all along. The war will end if the United States stops providing arms and financing, as this conflict stems from American arrogance over the last 30 years. The U.S. destabilized nuclear arms control in 2002 and backed a violent coup in Ukraine in 2014, ignoring the UN Security Council. Europe needs a grown-up foreign policy, not childish, propaganda-based diplomacy. It should act as a united front, like the original 13 American colonies, and negotiate with Russia, China, and the U.S. under a framework of multilateralism. Europe needs its own defense, separate from NATO, to address its security concerns and foster stable relationships, promoting a global rule of law.

I will request a budget of 413 billion euros from the national representation to renew our military capabilities. This investment will double the budget of our armed forces and reflects the unprecedented defense effort of France. It is crucial to ensure the security of our children and maintain our position in the world. We must defend our national territory, protect our citizens, ensure the safety of our neighboring regions, and combat climate change. Additionally, we need to adapt our nuclear deterrence, defend our interests in conflict zones, and strengthen partnerships and alliances. France should be capable of leading coalitions to defend Europe's interests. This requires evolving our military model to prioritize coherence, responsiveness, and endurance.

We are facing immense crises in the European Union. War has returned to our territory, and we need the EU more than ever. However, the far-right is gaining success in elections, with figures like Mr. Wilders campaigning against Muslims, immigration, and even the European Green Deal. If we don't wake up and realize the gravity of the situation, if we don't find the strength to convince others that we need to save the EU, it is in danger of extinction. There is a combination of external and internal threats that we have never seen before in European history. The upcoming election is crucial and decisive. Putin's plan to pressure and weaken Europe is succeeding.

If Putin attacks a NATO ally, we will defend every part of NATO as required by treaty. It's important to clarify that we do not seek American troops to engage in combat in Russia or against Russia.

Russia will remain a dangerous opponent for a long time, and we must include Ukraine in NATO. The only way to have trusting relations with Moscow is through a decisive defeat and a reset in Russia, where the Russian population and politics abandon their deeply rooted imperial, aggressive, and colonial ideas.

I love Europe, but Europeans don't respect Americans, and a relationship without mutual respect can't last. We're not obligated to protect Ukraine, especially when we have our own problems at home, like fentanyl deaths and veterans needing help. We've been bailing out Europe for 80 years, and it's time for them to handle their own security. Americans across the political spectrum don't want to be in a nuclear war with Russia or continue the Ukraine war. The entitlement we're seeing from European leaders and Zelensky suggests the relationship is over. We'll still trade and visit, but the dynamic needs to change. Americans are tired of paying for Europe's security while receiving disrespect in return. It's time for the relationship to evolve.

Give Ukrainians the weapons and authorization they need. We rely on heroes like those from the Azov battalion.

Speaking to reporters in Berlin, Speaker 0 described remarks in which the speaker said we must be prepared for the scale of war our grandparents or great-grandparents endured, and that if we deliver on our commitments, the tragedy can be prevented, with specific reference to Ukraine. He added that the United States cannot be kept safe without a safe Europe, and expressed optimism that the United States and Europe can get on the same page regarding Ukraine. The remarks note there has been evident division between the White House under Donald Trump and European allies, as well as Ukraine, prompting a push to increase Europe’s defense production capability. This push spans the European Union and the United Kingdom, and is described as following pressure from the White House and Donald Trump for Europe to do more to ensure its own protection. In this context, Mark Ruta is quoted as saying that allied defense spending must rise.

We must not abandon Ukraine or allow NATO to weaken. It goes against our national interests and the promises we've made. We need Congress to pass funding for NATO as soon as possible.

We've seen 5 waves of NATO expansion, with military bases and attack systems now in Romania and Poland. Ukraine may also join NATO, further increasing their presence. We didn't threaten anyone, they came to our borders. Instead of treating Russia as a possible ally, they kept breaking us up and expanding NATO to the East. We expressed our concerns, but they don't care. We prioritize our own security.

If the Ukrainian military doesn't stop the Russian invasion, it won't be long before our NATO forces have to fight the Russian army crossing the border.

The speaker is meeting with the secretary general and plans to send them sophisticated military equipment, for which they will be fully reimbursed. The U.S. is in for about $350 billion, while Europe is in for $100 billion, though the speaker believes Europe should contribute more. As the U.S. sends equipment, they will be reimbursed. The speaker mentions sending text pictures and files, with the European Union paying for it. The U.S. will send patriots, which are needed because Putin "bombs everybody in the evening."

Ukraine needs to mobilize its industry and will to win. Affordability shouldn't be an issue, considering Ukraine's €15 trillion economy. With a budget of €75 billion per year for 2-3 years, Ukraine can support its military and secure victory. This is about making the right choice and demonstrating competence. Defeating Russia's objections to a war in Ukraine is a great deal, as it only requires spending money, not sacrificing lives. It's truly the bargain of the century.

Every country shares its priorities, and this year, Russia made its presence known in a negative way. A Russian attack drone struck Chernobyl's sarcophagus, a symbolic move showing Russia's stance against peace and dialogue. Russia is increasing military strength, planning 15 new divisions, and using Belarus as a military foothold, potentially threatening NATO countries. Europe needs to consider the implications and act before further attacks. The old relationship between Europe and America is ending, and Europe must become self-sufficient. Ukraine is holding back Russia, but Europe needs its own military. It's time to create the Armed Forces of Europe, focusing on people, weapons, and realizing the need for self-defense. This includes joint weapons production, especially drones. Europe needs to unite and act decisively, ensuring no one can disregard or threaten it. We must build a strong Europe that America wants to stand with, guided by a unified foreign policy. This new year starts now, and let it be the year of Europe, united, strong, secure, and at peace.

If Ukraine's military doesn't halt the Russian invasion, it won't be long before our NATO forces have to fight on the border.

As a specialist on Russia, I can tell you that Russia will not stop with Ukraine. This is due to Trump's position who is an hostage to Russia, with no freedom, because he sold a studio to a Russian mobster a long time ago. Russia will invade all European capitals. They'll use unmarked vehicles to cross borders, even old taxis to find chips in washing machines. Despite being outnumbered by Europe's population, they multiply by eating honey and taking ice baths. They're undergoing a demographic rearmament, turning small Russians into big ones ready to invade Poland, Germany, Paris, Italy, Spain, and maybe even Portugal. It's crucial for our president to alert political parties as we are at war. Putin will invade everything, and Ukraine is Europe's sentinel; after Ukraine, it's our turn.
