Biden has mentioned sending 5,000 troops to the Baltic region. In my opinion it is the European community who needs to lead in this, especially with manpower.
And
Frankly I do not think the European community has any confidence in Biden to lead. The word I read many times from the European press when describing Biden is. incompetent
Same word used here in the States
Personally what I feel... the arrogance to think that the US has to be the leader op Europe. We don't need you. I think that's what most have a problem with, the US sticking its nose into everything. It's not because we need you, it's because the US is protecting its own benefits (money & power).
You often cause problems by barging into a country, even for no reason whatsoever except the one the US made up itself just to have an excuse.
That forces other countries to also either join in because otherwise said countries' agreements with the US start to wobble, or not.
And it will always force large countries like Russia and nowadays China to take a stand too.
What I feel the US should learn is to stop thinking it's the leader of the world. It isn't. That's just arrogance and that line of thinking is what I read here too, so apparently you Americans generally genuinely think this way.
What the world needs is for these so called superpowers to stop their "I got the biggest baws" game which is always at the expensive of the rest of the world.
That includes the US, Russia, and nowadays China, possibly even N Korea.
Now as for standing together when the chit hits the fan, like in WW2, that's another thing entirely. And even then you didn't do it to help us, the US didn't give a toss. "Not our war." The US only got involved because Pearl Harbor was attacked. The US only does stuff to protect its own benefits and position.
As for Ukraine... difficult situation but it should be possible to be resolved peacefully.
And yes, the US has big part in this as they will be the ones to have NATO and forces move into Ukraine. Quite logical Russia is not happy about that. They've kept saying that for a few months now, yet everyone in the west, which will be mostly US, doesn't give a toss.
But if it'd be the other way round, Russia wanting to forge an alliance that bordered US territory so it could then also move forces in, very close to US territory, the US would do the EXACT same thing Russia is doing now: also move troops to the US border.
In that sense the answer is, yes, it IS your problem. And you threw it in our European lap.
So my idea... back the bleep out and mind your own business. Agree on no NATO presence for now at least in the Ukraine.
Maybe it can be a kind of neutral country, a kind of buffer.
It's highly likely that if the US backs down, agrees to no NATO and no forces in the Ukraine, Russia will also relax.
Problem sorted.
But if US and possibly other western countries keep pushing this issue...
