The closed-door gathering of 34 army chiefs, including #NATO #alliance & #EU members as well as #Japan & #Australia, was a rare - & possibly unprecedented - convening without the #UnitedStates.
The talks aimed in part to assess options & capabilities to guarantee #Ukraine's security in the event of a #ceasefire, including potential European peacekeepers, & to maintain Kyiv's long-term #military strength.
A #military official said the #UnitedStates was NOT INVITED, in an intended signal that #Europe & other partners could take their responsibilities given #Trump has distanced himself from former #US #allies.
Officials said the presence of countries like Japan & Australia, both of whom have also faced uncertainty from the new US admin, showed a deeper malaise among Washington's traditional allies.
@Nonilex Coming soon from the man who is quickly realizing he does not, in fact, hold all the cards:
“250% tariffs on all of Europe for everything!”
@Nonilex well, he thinks the US is strong enough to take on the rest of the world, all for tin who will turn around and stab him in the back.
It will be interesting to see what the reaction if any to this will be from the WH. The last thing megalomaniacs and narcissist like Donald Trump can stand is being locked out.
@Nonilex personally I'd say it shows concern amongst Washington's traditional allies at the deepening malaise in Washington rather than malaise among the allies
@Nonilex awesome. Protectionism is so fun. America is great again for sure. Now we can only field a yo-yo team on the world stage.
@Nonilex watch for japan to kick us off Okinawa
@Nonilex time to switch out the crypto keys
