"[Ukraine] would like to have Tomahawks. That's a step up," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on October 12 en route to the Middle East for a Gaza peace conference. "Yeah, I might tell him [Putin] if the war is not settled, we may very well do it," he said. "We may not, but we may do it....Do they want to have Tomahawks going in their direction? I don't think so," Trump added.

I hope that everybody recognizes now that there is a hybrid war, and one day it's Poland, the other day it's Denmark and next week, it will probably be somewhere else,

No other nation means more for what Nato is than the United States. It holds a unique position among member states due to its political, economic and military weight. Which is why the forces that dominate American politics and who is in the White House are such decisive factors. The presidential election in November 2016 was therefore not only important to the US, but also to all of Nato.

Europe has long been known for its military history, partly because it was the site of the largest war the world has ever seen. Since then, Europe's defense landscape has changed into a mix of NATO allies and nations with some of the strongest militaries globally. Here, 24/7 Wall St. looks at the largest military forces in Europe. Right now, Europe's military strength is even more important due to changes in U.S. foreign policy.

Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

There has long been a contest between East and West, whether its competing militaries, economies, and ideologies. The ascendance of China in the last few decades has been at record pace and gives credence to its economic and military power. While Western countries, mostly NATO nations, have been at the forefront of economic and military might as a result of their alliances (EU and NATO), it is still interesting to draw a comparison between these two massive powers on the world stage.

After getting to know and fully understand the Ukraine/Russia Military and Economic situation and, after seeing the Economic trouble it is causing Russia, I think Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form," Trump wrote in his social media platform Truth Social. Roughly a fifth of Ukrainian territory, including the Black Sea peninsula of Crimea, is under Russian control, much of it throughout the war.

Germany's air force says it has scrambled two Eurofighter jets to track a Russian reconnaissance aircraft after it had entered neutral airspace over the Baltic Sea. In a statement, the air force said its quick reaction alert force was ordered on Sunday by NATO to investigate an unidentified aircraft flying without a plan or radio contact. list of 4 itemsend of list It was a Russian IL-20M reconnaissance aircraft.

Sir Richard Moore said the Russian dictator is "stringing us along" as he has failed at every turn to broker a peace deal as he is doing nothing but spreading his "lies to the world." Come 24 February 2026 Russia's full-scale war with Ukraine will enter its fourth year and there is no signs of any peace deal. The UK's spy chief said there is "absolutely no evidence" that Putin wants peace as he will "impose his imperial will by all means at his disposal."

When it comes to NATO's armored power, it isn't Germany, France, or the United Kingdom that are leading the charge. Instead, Eastern members like Poland and Turkey field some of the largest tank fleets in the Alliance. Their tank arsenals make more sense in the context that these countries are geographically located closer to potential flashpoints. However, the United States has a fairly impressive arsenal of its own tanks within NATO.

NATO's air power is not just purely advanced fighter jets and stealth bombers, but more so the men and women in uniform that operate and maintain these air forces. Countries like Turkey and France have formidable air forces within the Alliance, but they all fall short of the US Air Force in terms of tech and scale. The USAF, in fact, has more personnel than many NATO militaries in total,

Now a review of 11 recent academic studies by Scientists for Global Responsibility has found that each additional $100bn of military spending leads to an estimated 32m tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e) being dumped into the atmosphere. The emissions come from direct sources such as fuel-guzzling combat planes, warships and armored vehicles, as well as indirect emissions from transporting equipment, complex global supply-chains, and the effects of war fighting itself.

Two F-16 jets in eastern Romania were "scrambled on an Air Policing mission to monitor the air situation near the border with Ukraine, following Russian strikes on Ukrainian Danube infrastructure" at 6:05 pm Saturday local time, per a statement from the Romanian defense ministry. The F-16 "detected and tracked" the drone in Romania's airspace from 6:23 pm and radar contact was lost some 12 miles from the small community of Chilia Veche, according to the defense ministry, which emphasized that the drone did not fly over populated areas and "did not pose an imminent threat to the civilian population."

I am ready to do major sanctions on Russia when all NATO nations have agreed, and started, to do the same thing, and when all NATO nations stop buying oil from Russia. As you know, NATO's commitment to win has been far less than 100%, and the purchase of Russian oil, by some, has been shocking. It greatly weakens your negotiating position and bargaining power over Russia. Anyway, I am ready to 'go' when you are. Just say when?

I am ready to do major Sanctions on Russia when all NATO Nations have agreed, and started, to do the same thing, and when all NATO Nations STOP BUYING OIL FROM RUSSIA, Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform on Saturday, which he described as a letter to all NATO nations and the world. Trump proposed that NATO, as a group, place 50-100 percent tariffs on China to weaken its economic grip over Russia.
