And as things are going we should develop our own defense faster and not buy a single dimension from Americans and export our own weapons to their current partners see if they like that. Years and years of pushing for europe not to have military under empty promises of security in order to export their own weapons, and now the clown now pushes this narrative lmao.

He is partially right. Europe has to spend a lot of money to produce own weapon systems. Time to wake up.

US citizens are for example not paying anything for Finland's defense. We operate and maintain our own military and on top of that we are buying huge quantities of US weapons. So in reality USA is benefiting from Finland. Every NATO country maintains it's own military and should spend more than 2% of their GDP for defense.

The USA now is more ideologically aligned with right-wing oligarchies like Russia and Hungary than it is with most of woke Europe.

Fool, ikr? What the fuck do we even need Europe for? We're taking over Greenlandia and from there it's a straight shot over the top to Russia. I'm sure Donald & Vlad can work something out. We'll pull out all our throbbing military assets from Europe and they can fend for themselves.

Some history.....the USA obviously saved Europe from being taken over by fascist raiders. Close to 1,000,000 US military personnel were killed/wounded in WWII. After the war was over, the US helped rebuild ravaged Europe. The US contributed > $13 billion to Europe as part of the Marshall Plan (>$175 billion in todays USD.) NATO was formed in 1949, at the outset of the Cold War, to prevent the same thing from happening all over again.
