A retired Polish general who took part in NATO missions has demanded an apology from Donald Trump after he said that NATO allies had stayed “a little off the front lines” in Afghanistan and that the U.S. had “never needed them”.

Hearing such claims from a draft dodger is rather ridiculous.
Trump’s supporters in the US military must be livid at him for disgracing the heroic contributions of our allies.
He spat on the memory of every non-U.S. NATO soldier who died in their invasion.
He was not just “a general”. He was the commander of GROM, Poland’s tier one special forces unit.
We are so hated and only a simpleton thinks we’re better off going it alone in this world.
Well someone sure stayed a little off the front lines in Vietnam….
I’d like to see the leader of every country who came to the aid of the U.S. after 9/11 **demand** an apology from that sack of shit.
Good. Shame my own Prime Minister wouldn’t do the same.
If Trump responds, it will be an insult. And maybe an outlandish claim about how he’s the best warrior in the history of humankind.
One thing is for sure a lack of knowledge certainly doesn’t stop his mouth from running.
Good luck. Trumps a man that’s never wrong.
Force him into a public apology the same way he tried to humiliate Zelenskyy.
You know who stayed off the front line?
Donald Trump.
Does an apology from Trump really mean anything though?
Donald doesn’t apologize he only doubles down on evil stupid.
Don’t demand, write him off and stop kissing his butt.
Fuck Trump!! Loser
It’s interesting how Trump is getting challenged to his face on this. He has rightly screwed up with the Greenland thing, people aren’t interested in appeasing him or his hangers-on any longer.
Norwegian veterans are saying the same. And I would guess every veteran of allied forces who joined USA in Afghanistan is saying the same. It’s not even an embarrassing statement from the POTUS, it’s shameful.
Trump addressing the rest of the world with the type of lies that work at a MAGA convention.
Has been drinking too much of his own bathwater.
Trumps claim is ridiculous, but focusing on stupid shit Trump says takes the focus off what he actually does. Internationally we need to keep Ukraine and Greenland in focus. Domestically, Americans need to lean hard on their Representatives and Senators. Let them know that they’re in danger if they don’t step up and put a stop to his non-sense.
Even if Representatives & Senators won’t impeach Trump directly, they can start impeaching the leadership that is developing policy and executing orders.
LOL , dementia don has never apologized for anything. He called his own military suckers and losers .
Military coup. Just putting it out there
never needed NATO says the only member to use article 5.
I don’t think Trump has genuinely apologized to anyone on his adult life.
Good luck with any form of apology whatsoever…
He’s morally incapable
Very little mentioning about this in American media just browsing through it. I guess you got a lot going on but still.
I dont think yall know how much this comment blew up all across Europe.
Fat chance. That turd has never apologized once in his miserable life.
Demanding something from an abuser makes you dependent on their judgement and thus a hierarchy is established where you need something from him. Let him talk and don’t give him power ffs.
An apology will never come. Ever
I hope the general slaps his face with a glove and demands a duel. I think that would be both heartening for us and humiliating for Trump.
Good luck with that. I can’t recall a single time when he’s apologized or taken the blame for something. Never his fault!
I’d also take offense that Trump says he’s done more for NATO than anyone living or dead. A lot of people served, put their lives on the line, died, had loved ones die, etc., etc. serving NATO.
and for him to say the USA doesn’t need anyone else, when the USA is the only country to ever invoke article 5. well, we all know he’s an idiotic boob, so he continues to be one.
Better chances of this general taking a walk on the surface of Venus than getting an apology from the Manchurian Cantaloupe.
The closest thing they’ll get to an apology is a back track and a gaslight.
An apology is an admission of guilty. Don’t see that from Trump.
This is what Trump does. Deflect from the real issue.
Make up some lies to muddy the water.
Well one thing is for sure, nobody is going to come to America’s aid the next time they ask.
Mr. Orange must be really bad at history and geography… He hasn’t learned his lessons properly.
Just remind Trump he’s a draft dodging piece of shit
Two cheers for the General and to hell with Dementia Duck.
The man is entirely correct, our allies were there in full force and participation. The General should not hold his breath for an apology from a draft dodger who has never apologized or been wrong his whole life.
Let’s build a world where we don’t need the US.
U.S. left and right have always bought the bullshit they have been spoonfed from birth, “if it wasn’t for us…” wars, social progress, technological innovation, everything has the goalposts moved and contributions from elsewhere ignored to a point where they can scream “if it wasn’t for us…”
It is not a hidden history. It is well documented, so I am not sure what anyone expected when they rushed to their aid. Gratitude was never going to be on the table.
I dont think i have ever seen a leader says half the shit he says and gets away with it. This legit feels like a comedy movie at this point
American here, just want to say thanks to our NATO allies who came to our defense after the World Trade Center attacks. You guys rock; Trump sucks a fat dick.
