No it isn't.

It has already been debunked.

Europe doesn't put social programs to the chopping block appease Trump.

That's just conspiracy think.

a 150% increase in military budgets (going from 2% to 5%) isn't easy, and I've seen no one recommend tax increases to pay for it. Only calls for destruction of social programs.

The title still is a lie.

We do not chop up social programs to apease trump.

How come you want it to be true so hard?

While US attacks Europe economically, and demands US weapons purchases, the UK has made such a purchase. EU is appeasing Trump, desperate for a war on Russia for desperate CIA agents and whose political capital depends on CIA support to further enslave EU to US empire. There's no other option to pay for their sycophancy.

Every country is in overdrive to regain their independence away from relying on the USA, for their own security and sovereignty. Yes money has gone into military spending and there have been other initiatives, but that is not appeasing trump, that is a "hold up buddy, we got to get our foundation established so you can't wreck us"

Wow go see a brain doctor or touch grass man!

You're deep down a conspiracy rabbit hole my friend, several things are true (buying stuff from the USA, sometimes slahing social programs) but that doesn't mean there is a link between them (by the dark hidden secret cabal!).

We're just upping defense spending because it went from 7-9% (cold war era) to too low recently because we thought Russia was going to stop being a royal pain in the ass. Which they didn't.

It's not being done to appease Trump. Europe has to build up its armies when China, US, Russia, and their proxy allies clearly are. In an ideal world, everyone would stay away from war. Right now, remaining a pacifist that isn't spending on defense is painting a crosshair on yourself. Defense is what has allowed Ukraine to continue to exist against an "empire's thirst for endless war, its military and oil oligarchies and colonization of allies".

The thing that Europe should also be doing is moving out of NATO into their own alliance. When the leaders of those alliances threaten to invade its members, its members should be leaving, not calling its leader pappy. I understand playing politics with democracies who can change administrations, but the US is rapidly ceasing to be one if it hasn't already.
