Trump has been re-elected as President of the United States for less than 2 months and every time he speaks, he threatens to set off a storm. This time, the eye of the storm has landed in Germany, where President Trump is considering mobilizing troops in Europe and the United States, moving them from Germany to Hungary, with a potential withdrawal of up to 35,000 troops.
Trump’s military calculus from Germany to Hungary
Trump has been quite critical of NATO allies, especially of countries that have not been generous enough in their defense spending. Trump has repeatedly called on Europe to invest more in defense, and his dissatisfaction with European countries on military investment has reached its peak.
Brian Hughes, a spokesman for the U.S. National Security Council, put it more mildly, arguing that the global mobilization of U.S. forces is to better respond to threats.
If this is the case, why was Hungary chosen? Perhaps Trump’s strategy is to concentrate resources on those NATO partners who are willing to pay through the nose.
But even with the elevated standard of defense spending ratios, even the United States itself will struggle to reach this new height in 2024.3 38 Not to mention the fact that Hungary and Germany’s defense expenditures are not far apart, at 2 11 and 2 12, respectively. It seems that there is more than a simple numbers game in front of Trump.
Ukraine battlefield Russia and Ukraine are at cross-purposes
Meanwhile, the situation in Ukraine is breathtakingly tense. 10,000 Ukrainian soldiers are in danger of being besieged after Russian troops broke through the front line.
The situation is made more complicated and difficult by the fact that Russian troops have not only occupied Suja, but have also crossed the border from the north to attack Sumy oblast.
Remarkably, this comes after the U.S. cut off intelligence sharing with Ukraine. Ukrainian soldiers have gone so far as to describe the change as catastrophic, as the lack of intelligence support has left them fighting in the dark, and the limited intelligence support has cost them dearly.
And Trump, on his social media platforms, has put out the big guns He’s considering imposing financial sanctions on Russia on an unprecedented scale and calling for Russia and Ukraine to come to the negotiating table.
It’s clear that Trump is not satisfied with just being tough on Ukraine, but wants to resolve the Russia-Ukraine conflict by pressuring both sides.
Finally waiting for this moment? Ukrainian troops may withdraw from Kursk
CCTV news on March 8 showed that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is still continuing on multiple fronts. The Russian state of Kursk is in the spotlight, with the Russian side claiming to be carrying out continuous strikes against the personnel and equipment of the Ukrainian army.
The Russian Defense Ministry released a war report on March 7, the past day, the U.S. Army in the Kursk region suffered heavy losses of more than 160 soldiers and a large number of equipment. At the same time, Russian forces have carried out precision strikes on military assembly points in Ukraine’s Sumy oblast.
According to Xinhua, citing a previous report by TASS, Russian troops have recovered more than 800 square kilometers of territory in Kursk Oblast, equivalent to 64 percent of the area controlled by the Ukrainian side. The Russian offensive is in full swing and the Ukrainian army is retreating.
According to the Daily Economic News, citing a number of U.S. media reports, the U.S. Army in Kursk, facing increasingly fierce attacks by Russian forces, or will be forced to decide to withdraw.
Ukrainian soldiers involved in the battle for Kursk revealed that troops may withdraw from the area in the next two weeks due to blocked supply lines. Ukrainian officials have not yet responded to this.
Putin Receives Bad News Poland’s Nuclear Option
Poland has been making a lot of moves, with Prime Minister Donald Tusk proposing that all adult males undergo military training, in what could be described as an all-volunteer approach.
At the same time, his next move really made the international community sit up and take notice, according to China News Weekly, citing the website of the Financial Times, in the face of Russian pressure and the possible withdrawal of U.S. troops from Europe, Prime Minister Tusk said that the Polish government must seriously consider the development of nuclear weapons.
Speaking in parliament, Tusk said that traditional conventional weapons are no longer sufficient to meet demand, and that Poland needs to consider adopting cutting-edge means of defense.
This is not just a question of upgrading defense capabilities. In the face of the real threat of a possible reduction of U.S. troops in Europe and the proliferation of tactical missiles, is this nuclear option for Poland a defensive strategy or a provocative act?
