European countries need to be able to defend itself, while remaining a steadfast defender and member of NATO! - We cannot rely solely on 4 year security periods depending on US elections. Its a huge opportunity for a weapon arms industry and thousands of internal jobs too, instead of the EU sending money to the US arms industry.
With Donald Trump the american century ends any way. Defense is only one aspect. Europe must trust its own recipe and move forward. It's not impossible, there's good news too. The Dutch and German armies merged seamlessly. Lastly, the Dutch 38th Light Brigade was transferred to the German 10th tank division. We trust each other and have pooled our armies together, no matter who is in command. German soldiers would defend the Netherlands and vice versa.

Sure seems suspect to me. All in one week, Trump ridicules the NATO alliance, Tucker interviews Putin, and NATO holds its largest exercise in decades. Almost seems coordinated, just like real Russian assets would do.
I think they know exactly what this excersise is. Last time they did it they provoked the Ukraine conflict by have 40 000 troops practicing how to attack Russia on all of its borders in March of 2021. Meanwhile Zelinski publicly declared they would take back Crimea militarily and declared they would look to join NATO. I said it then, almost a year before the war. But nobody believed that Russia would interpret that as provoking a conflict. It's not like they had 100 000 blanks being fired at them. This time let's double the size of the event. Likely have some time of event on Feb 22, and declare something...and see if Russia responds and shoots at NATO. Then we can still say NATO is a defence alliance and still...not quite lie....
Europe can defend itself against Russia with or without help from America. But Russia can do a lot of harm to Europe. As it has done to Ucraine. It is true that Europe must become more independent. But therefore it must also become more united. Wich is difficult for many reasons...

As an American veteran, I am aware of NATO's capabilities. Its strength is not dependent on the US, although the US has historically provided a great deal of technology and management of the NATO force. Today, however, the NATO countries are well-equipped, well-trained, and more than capable of repelling any Russian aggression in the European theatre. Although, if the US were to remove itself from NATO, there would be serious financial and administrative strain on the alliance, NATO, although smaller than Russia in terms of number of military units, more than makes up for this difference in their level of training, skill, weapons, technology and determination of its leaders, combatants, and support personnel, far more than any threat Russia could pose in current times, or in the foreseeable future, IMHO.
To be clear, I am not advocating the US leave NATO. That would be a very foolish thing to do! However, I am also not counting out the resolve of current NATO members, or their abilities to deal with Russia without the US, should it come to that, although the fight would be far more difficult. Much of Russia's army consists of very young and inexperienced conscripts who are forced to serve. Sadly, they make up most of Russian soldier body count in their war with Ukraine, even though Ukraine forces are extremely limited. Ukraine is holding strong because they have the desire to fight to save their country. In the event Russia would be foolish enough to challenge NATO, I believe NATO forces would prevail, even without the US. To the a-holes replying to my comment, the flak is always greatest when over the target.

I'm extremely pro NATO, anti Trump, but the way that question was answered was cowardly and gross. NATO membership has requirements and spending 2% of your GDP on your own defense is not too much to ask. What an absolutely shameful response from the guest.
0:54 who chose the thumbnail image? Sure, there’s NATO flag but that the only relevance. These are museum exhibits, not NATO military vehicles to be involved in Steadfast Defender. This pic is of the public open day show at the Military Technical Museum in Lesany, Czech Republic, in September last year. NATO doesn’t operate WWII T-34 or Hetzer as far as I know.
During the Cold War in the 80’s, we had Reforger exercises. We had stockpiled enough ammunition and equipment in Germany, Belgium the Neatherlands to equip 5 U.S. Army divisions from Conus which would theoretically arrive within 72 hours after hostilities began. We also had 2 heavy Armored divisions and 2 infantry divisions permanently based in West Germany plus more. We also had “Special Munitions” placed along the Fulda gap, in case the Warsaw pact got the dummy attack. I participated in “Able Archer” in 83. That was a NATO exercises that almost ended humanity.
During that time did you look back at the 1940s as a bygone time. How things had changed?Politically, technologically and culturally? That's the same time difference between Able Archer and now. Sorry, you are history now. This is our generation.
The US will never withdraw from NATO. The US has a vested interest in the alliance as the US actually is closer to Russia than most European countries. Look on the map. When the Bering Sea freezes there’s a place where you can walk across the ice from a US island to Russia.
When the US held back from entering ww1 and ww2 they transformed there economy doing so. Europe needs to be able to defend its self. Its more than capable of achieving that.
The Opponent Country should always be wary of military exercises. Military exercises are the real thing, just short of going all out into attack. Its like a punch in acting. Everything is real except there is no contact. The Yom Kippur War exercise by Egypt in 1973.
Since before 2008, Ukraine has been eager to join NATO. However, during this time, there have been conflicts along the borders of Ukraine and Russia, causing significant loss and suffering. It's disheartening that instead of actively pursuing peace, countries seem to be adding fuel to the fire of animosity. Why haven't we collectively worked towards peace instead? We could instead be discovering the Galaxy and even the Universe together.
1:10 That's pretty much the equivalent of the firepower of the USS Gerald R. Ford strike group.And that's just 1 out of 11 aircraft carrier strike groups, and Russians are shaking in their boots. And this is just the navy! It's not even funny how overpowered the US is. Now it starts to make sense why Putin chose to talk about Russia joining Nato in his interview with Tucker last week. Just watch the interview if you don't believe me.
Perhaps you guys should have concidered it back when you signed treaty to protect Ukraine if Ukraine gives their nukes away. Given that those nukes are in USA, you could return them and then do what ever you like?
Haha what troops? Europeans have no army and solely rely on US to provide them with weapons which they struggle to do anyway. Make a peace with Russia they are not your enemy. To think they can somehow defeat Russia on the battlefield is delusional.
What troops? EU region alone, which is not the whole Europe, has tad larger military than USA. It is twice the size Russia and China can send against it together. Let that sink in. You do the mistake that you think European militaries are in weak condition. They are not if you compare them to other nations, they are only in weak condition if you look at it through Western military potential, meaning what they could be. If you think that Russia has even 1% chance against Europe, you are the delusional one here.
A lot of froth and bubble reality is they have neither the equipment the training or the ammo to last a month in Ukraine. How many tanks in this exercise....120 ?
@facitenonvictimarum174 I think the war is still going on....and from all the live maps, it seems there are 10x more red bubbles then blue bubbles. Maybe I missed something but I'm pretty sure Ukraine hasn't won. And it seems Russia has far more troops as reserve then they even have fighting. And it seems like they haven't committed their best equipment yet. Almost like they are expecting to fight someone much stronger in the near future. I hope you are right though, otherwise WW3 might be a little more devastating to us then you think. I hope your ready for it.
Try to start with ammunition for more than two days !!! The soldiers are very skilled in their jobs , but without war-industrie for replacements or ammunition it's difficult fighting !!! Ask the Ukrainians , they know all about it !!!

Whilst continued military cooperation with the USA (Canada and Turkey also) is important, I believe that the time has come for a successor to NATO that is uniquely made up of European countries. That means, no more Canada and Turkey as well as the USA. We cannot be dictated to by whatever whimsical idea a former president and future presidential candidate may or may not think. Europe also needs to look more to building our own military equipment and fighter aircraft. We have seen how the USA has been reluctant for European countries to hand over F16 jets to the Ukrainian Air Force which highlighted a difference in defence policy as well as in regional thinking. President Macron of France amongst some others have advocated something along these lines for years. It is time to consider it and we Europeans are also quite wrong to think that countries on another continent should automatically come to our defence. That may have made sense previously, but seemingly, not any more.
@@bgdabg6769 in a perfect, russia free world maybe - but russia exists and with putin at the wheel has had no issues invading neighbours for personal gain.
It always baffles me when people make such baseless statement. Can you explain why would Russia "invade" another country? And please say it in your own words
@@esQmo Because they live in the delusion that NATO's sole purpose is to arm Europe to invade Russia in the future so they use the bs excuse of pre-emptive strike to invade independent border countries. Look at Ukraine from 2014 to 2024.
The German economy just surpassed Japan to become the world's 3rd largest. Also, German debt to national income is only ~70%, much lower than the USA. There is no excuse Germany can't spend over 2% of GDP on defense and build the infrastructure to out produce Russia in all areas of conventional weaponry.
@@SirRivelion I can't control what the Rich guys wanna invade if it was up to me we would only defend and if you guys was smart you would make a European alliance for defense and cuz as long as you in NATO you do as we say
“The alliance is not built on this. It’s built on solidarity” no, it’s reliant on the US overspending to compensate for weak allies that choose not to direct their money according to what they agreed to. How many times will Europeans try to argue that “some economies are smaller” as if percentages didn’t exist or as if percentages of GDP were always what was being discussed? Subsidize your defense per the terms you agreed to or get out. The US is absolutely done subsidizing European defense with US tax dollars while EU countries scold our strategies and hand out free healthcare 😂
Don’t count on the USA to come to our help if a EU country gets invaded even if Trump doesn’t withdraw the USA from NATO. If it’s not Trump it will be someone else, what matters is that Americans are becoming more and more isolationist as time goes on so it’s best to plan for the long term as if the USA already withdrew from the alliance.
Hey dont generalize all of us it’s just people in Trumps MAGA cult that want that true Americans don’t want that Trump is a puppet of Putin and the MAGA cult is his puppet
no nation on earth can be trully "isolationist" in this modern world. Trade is global, every nation relies on others in some way, even if the US decided it really was going to cut itself off millions of jobs would immediately vanish, food would likely become a critical issue, they literally cant cut themselves off from the internet, or global financial systems they'd go belly up in a week etc. And as history has shown, its getting easier and easier to cause actual harm to a country whether its ww1 submarines torpedoing US merchant ships, to the sneak attack on Pearl to the 9/11 attacks. The US cant just go "NOPE we're not here today" and expect to go untouched and flourish. They'd go downhill fast, probably get attacked by terror adversaries and still want help dealing with that while handing earth on a platter to china, russia and possibly india as well
@@user-kg4fr9jr7v"Totally unpredictable"? Putin has broadcast his intentions for the last 15 years. If you think Russia is "unpredictable", you haven't been paying attention.
More land means more potential. A country with a large land can be a menacing force if left unchecked. Plus, it makes the world a bit more balanced if a group of small powers can keep one huge power in check.
You are pretty primitive if you think NATO is afraid of Russia, its a reassurance for countries like in Baltics for example that they will not be left alone

That means, no more Canada and Turkey as well as the USA. We cannot be dictated to by whatever whimsical idea a former president and future presidential candidate may or may not think. Europe also needs to look more to building our own military equipment and fighter aircraft. We have seen how the USA has been reluctant for European countries to hand over F16 jets to the Ukrainian Air Force which highlighted a difference in defence policy as well as in regional thinking. President Macron of France amongst some others have advocated something along these lines for years. It is time to consider it and we Europeans are also quite wrong to think that countries on another continent should automatically come to our defence. That may have made sense previously, but seemingly, not any more.
Level up would be not to have any alliance and work on science, medical care, production for own needs...not investing in hostilities and war
@@bgdabg6769 in a perfect, russia free world maybe - but russia exists and with putin at the wheel has had no issues invading neighbours for personal gain.
0:35 hmm yes very nice NATO tank column you've got there, the BMP-2 and T-72B3 are famous for their use by NATO
Was over a million troops deployed on operation Desert storm 😂😂 90.000 is tiny
MY BROTHER IN CHRIST IS THAT AN IS TANK
You forgot Defender 2020 and 2021.
Hopefully Putin will think twice about invading another souvenir country after NATOs exercise
It always baffles me when people make such baseless statement. Can you explain why would Russia "invade" another country? And please say it in your own words
I think you meant "sovereign"
@@esQmo Because they live in the delusion that NATO's sole purpose is to arm Europe to invade Russia in the future so they use the bs excuse of pre-emptive strike to invade independent border countries. Look at Ukraine from 2014 to 2024.
@@esQmowhy does ruzzia constantly invade other countries?
@@jooseppib1082 Constantly? Are you joking or just being sarcastic or what? Can we do some comparison game called "Who has invaded the most? "
Si vis pacem, para bellum.
GLORY TO NATO
The German economy just surpassed Japan to become the world's 3rd largest. Also, German debt to national income is only ~70%, much lower than the USA. There is no excuse Germany can't spend over 2% of GDP on defense and build the infrastructure to out produce Russia in all areas of conventional weaponry.
I'm American and I can tell you right now we're not going to come and help you guys I will never fight for Europe and many others won't either
We will remember that when you invade another country and ask our people to fight for you again.
@@SirRivelion I can't control what the Rich guys wanna invade if it was up to me we would only defend and if you guys was smart you would make a European alliance for defense and cuz as long as you in NATO you do as we say
@@SirRivelion yeah, like since ww2, France and some more followed USA in evrything, and US army remember that.
@0 Come down from the clouds, USA isn't in any position to dictate what Europe does 😂
Trump need to leave us presidency alone!!
Baltic states joined exercise with their cavalry, phalanx and catapult
russia is just salty because they got their nato application rejected
Is that an IS-2?! Hahaha
NATO countries shame on you , pay your dues, bodyguard is not free
You live in delusion that USA really answers from Europe's security? With what exactly? 😂
Oh stop it
*eye roll*
“The alliance is not built on this. It’s built on solidarity” no, it’s reliant on the US overspending to compensate for weak allies that choose not to direct their money according to what they agreed to. How many times will Europeans try to argue that “some economies are smaller” as if percentages didn’t exist or as if percentages of GDP were always what was being discussed? Subsidize your defense per the terms you agreed to or get out. The US is absolutely done subsidizing European defense with US tax dollars while EU countries scold our strategies and hand out free healthcare 😂
we need more soldiers,
End NATO
Don’t count on the USA to come to our help if a EU country gets invaded even if Trump doesn’t withdraw the USA from NATO.
If it’s not Trump it will be someone else, what matters is that Americans are becoming more and more isolationist as time goes on so it’s best to plan for the long term as if the USA already withdrew from the alliance.
usa help nobody but usa.
@@pedrothewise2584 Lies. US is vital ally for the free world (spoiler: democracy will win again)
Hey dont generalize all of us it’s just people in Trumps MAGA cult that want that true Americans don’t want that Trump is a puppet of Putin and the MAGA cult is his puppet
no nation on earth can be trully "isolationist" in this modern world. Trade is global, every nation relies on others in some way, even if the US decided it really was going to cut itself off millions of jobs would immediately vanish, food would likely become a critical issue, they literally cant cut themselves off from the internet, or global financial systems they'd go belly up in a week etc. And as history has shown, its getting easier and easier to cause actual harm to a country whether its ww1 submarines torpedoing US merchant ships, to the sneak attack on Pearl to the 9/11 attacks.
The US cant just go "NOPE we're not here today" and expect to go untouched and flourish. They'd go downhill fast, probably get attacked by terror adversaries and still want help dealing with that while handing earth on a platter to china, russia and possibly india as well
The Us president can't pull America out of NATO
Pointless
Very good.
So, 32 countries agains one Russia? And nato is afraid of one Russia? One Russia? Am i right?
Russia possesses biggest nuclear arsenal nearly same as all other countries combined and it's totally unpredictable. Yes, you should take it seriously
That's like saying. 32 people in an elevator with guns on their hip shouldn't be concerned that one of them just shot someone.
@@user-kg4fr9jr7v"Totally unpredictable"? Putin has broadcast his intentions for the last 15 years. If you think Russia is "unpredictable", you haven't been paying attention.
More land means more potential. A country with a large land can be a menacing force if left unchecked. Plus, it makes the world a bit more balanced if a group of small powers can keep one huge power in check.
You are pretty primitive if you think NATO is afraid of Russia, its a reassurance for countries like in Baltics for example that they will not be left alone
Steadfast protector ..sounds like a contraceptive
Absolutely but with new upgrades in arms!!!
Ukraine got all junk because didn’t have enough on their own and it’s not about exercise nato with new weapons but providing Ukraine with more advanced weapons that Cold War era!!!
Why are men still willing to die . For a society that literally working against them " please allow all the women feminist too fight this war " its time for men to wake up .. this is not our fight iam sorry
