Messages inadvertently shared with Atlantic journalist lay bare the unvarnished truth about how Vance and Hegseth feel about European allies

cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/59411845

From the Article:

“If you think we should do it let’s go. I just hate bailing Europe out again,” Vance replied. Hegseth agreed that “I fully share your loathing of European free-loading. It’s PATHETIC.” But, he added, “we are the only ones on the planet (on our side of the ledger) who can do this.”

Miller, the Trump confidant, effectively ended the conversation by saying that the president had been clear. “Green light, but we soon make clear to Egypt and Europe what we expect in return.”

    By that standard we could have constant posts here about shit the Trump administration does that relates to Europe.

    There are a few posts about this. It’s not the focus of the sub indeed.

    Diluting the content that’s supposed to be the center of this sub.

    I’m well aware, as I’m the main poster.
