Summary
A YouGov poll in five Western European countries found majorities view Donald Trump as a threat to European peace, with concerns rising after he suspended military aid to Ukraine.
Most respondents oppose Kyiv’s exclusion from U.S.-Russia peace talks and doubt Europe alone could support Ukraine.
Support for increased defense spending remains limited, despite fears that Russia could attack again.
Proposals for European peacekeepers in Ukraine have mixed support. The survey highlights growing skepticism about U.S. commitments to NATO and European security.
A majority of Western Europeans also have a better education than the majority of my fellow American citizens.

A minority of western Europeans are idiots.
Hi guys, new here on lemmy. Just want to say FKUC Trump!
Welcome, avoid the tankies
I’d rather avoid using the word “tankie” and deal in actual ideas rather than tribalistic pejoratives that bring nobody closer together.
Those words exist for a reason.
The reason being that social media is used to spread russian disinformation at high quantities. So if you see someone praising an imperialist police state full of fascists while claiming some other country is an imperialist police state full of fascists, you can be sure you shouldn’t bother debating them since they are being paid to keep repeating the same nonsense. Just call them a tankie and be done with.
Right, let me fill you in, Tankies are people who support authoritarian regimes in Russia, China, North Korea, etc. They’re all over Lemmy. Sometimes they’re very forthright with their ideologies, other times they try to astroturf and pretend to subtly align with our ideals so that they can influence us to do the following: Harm Western World Powers, Dismantle Democracies, Empower China.
The often use words like Bourgeois and Capitalists, speak of NATO as if it were militaristic imperialism, and oppose nonviolent political reforms of all types. They claim to support communism and/or socialism, but they absolutely will not promote any politicial path to implement those which do not involve overthrowing the state or without weakening “liberals”. Note that they do not mean a Liberal party, they mean the concept of liberalism.
Primarily you find them on Lemmy ml, Hexbear, and lemmygrad but you will find them all over. They are here. And they hate you. They want your neighbors to get fed up and kill you or vice versa.
avoid the tankies
Or intentionally piss them off, either works
Doesn’t the majority of everyone everywhere think this by now?
Read that as: Majority of Western Europeans suspect ocean of containing water.
Majority of western Europeans are paying attention, survey finds
We’ve been saying this in the U.S. since 2016.

Is that the same ‘we’ that voted him in again?
Obviously I don’t mean them.
No shit Sherlock
The US has always been the largest threat to world peace
always
Even in July 1914? Interesting take.
Always
Unlike glorious Putin, right?
User is a Russian apologist. Check his history.
Calling out liberal bullshit doesn’t make someone a Russian apologist. Unless everything you hate is Russian, which sounds like the mind of an undeveloped child.
I’m aware. Voyager’s tagging feature is very useful.
Extremely useful!
I just wish there was a way for them to sync across devices :(
Yeah, I noticed that when I got a new phone. Maybe we’ll get it.
Wait, wait. What? You use an app that lets you tag users and keep those tags visible only to you?
Fill us in when any other country has 900 military bases around the world
So you agree invading sovereign countries is bad?
You ask that with zero context as if things happen in a vacuum
You didn’t answer me. What context justifies invading sovereign countries?
I’m not going to engage in conversation with someone that just started paying attention to Ukraine two years ago.
So you are saying the invasion of Ukraine was justified because of things that happened before 2 years ago?
So you agree it’s an invasion of a sovereign country?
What context justifies invading sovereign nations?
“The great peacemaker” needs big wars so that he can eventually “make” a peace…

Most if us un the US too, probably.
I wish, but if that were the case he wouldn’t be in office.
Both supporters and opponents.
The supporters want violence. Us opponents see that he is pushing for it.
If US commitment to the NATO nuclear umbrella is questioned, Russia will attempt to capitalize on it.
Threats of nuclear action are considerably more believable when there’s no threat of nuclear retaliation. Ukraine would never have been invaded if they still had nuclear weapons.
You won’t have to worry about Trump for long. We abstained in the election and let Trump win, and now the Democrats understand that genocide is wrong and they’re working tirelessly to stop Trump. You’re welcome.
Objectively he is.
