Dubbed "Rearm Europe," the remarks from the European Commission's president came hours after President Donald Trumpsuspended all U.S. military aid to Ukraine, widening the gulf between Washington and Kyiv and going against the fresh commitments of support from Europe for Ukraine in recent days.

"I do not need to describe the grave nature of the threats that we face, or the devastating consequences that we will have to endure if those threats would come to pass," von der Leyen told reporters.

I was wondering when this topic would surface. It's crazy this is where we are.

May Europe preserve democracy and Ukrainian sovereignty. This administration would seem to be against both.

I’m sure glad we have to do this instead of fighting Climate Change and microplastics so we don’t become extinct within a century.

I really wish we could boat Canada over to Europe; or at least push it far out into the ocean like Australia. Feels like being duct taped to a meth’d up serial killer right now

Europeans, I wish you Godspeed in this new landscape. You guys managed to come together. How insane is that. Wars that were bloody as all hell, and y'all hugged it out in the end.

I think y'all can be greater than the US militarily, socially, and definitely academically. I really hope you guys can dissuade Russia from wiping out Ukraine, and can stay strong until we clean up the problem here. If we're able and aren't all executed for dissent.
