Former President Donald Trump's solution to end the Ukraine war involves completely cutting defense funds, according to Hungarian leader Viktor Orbán.
  • Trump “will not give a penny” more to Ukraine if he becomes president, Hungary’s prime minister said.
  • That’s how Trump plans to end the war, Viktor Orbán, who met Trump at Mar-a-Lago, said.
  • The Trump campaign has not said whether the pair discussed Ukraine during the visit.

    So the commitment of the rest of NATO is fact, the US’s isn’t. Well, if that is the way you feel, then the United States should just leave NATO. If having the largest Army in the world and saving Europe in two wars isn’t proof of commitment, then we should just sit the next one out. It sounds like we are not wanted or needed.

          I just miss the era when the vast majority of Americans were on the same page regarding potentially dangerous geopolitical crap. Politics used to end at the water’s edge for the most part, but not anymore.

        Be more clear in your point. I get you don’t like Trump but what he said was true.

        Now everyone is scurrying because he was right.

        Hate the man as much as you want but at the end of the day, he was right.

        You fight a war with the Army you have, not the one you can build in the next five years. Europe has not taken their defense seriously, and it isn’t our job to spend our money to defend Europe. It is our job to help in their defense.

        Putin was a wakeup call to Europe and hopefully they leaned you always need to be prepared for war.
