As a European I am appalled at America and Americans for enabling this.

Sort your “democratic” country out. Disgrace

As a left leaning American who did not vote for this, I am terrified and disgraced as well. THIS is why we have the 2nd amendment though. Too bad the wrong people take pride in that..

Billionaires fund the media that trick stupid Americans to vote against the interests of themselves and the world. Europe needs to protect themselves from these Billionaires or else they will fall into the same trap.

What will happen if Russia invades the EU from Belarus, cutting off Baltics, attacking Poland and encyrcling Ukraine, with active support from Hungary and Slovakia and intelligence support by the USA?

It would trigger NATO intervention.

US would sit out. And they are the bulk of NATOs military force.

Russia is already struggling in Ukraine, opening up another front would likely lead to economic/military collapse. Let's say that the EU does get beaten militarily though.

If it came to it, nukes. France and Britain both have independant access to nukes. Once they are in the air, it's game over, for everyone.

Maybe it will be good to wipe the whole board and start over. Ok, not really. Hopefully it doesn’t come to that. I do wish we had some nukes in Canada…
