Let's be honest: when it comes to security, many European countries still want to use it, but at the expense of American taxpayers.
First, the US as a whole created this system itself. Second, it has always financed its military expenditures not from taxes, but by printing dollars, which are the world's reserve currency. And third, the US is still the only NATO country that has activated Article 5 of the treaty, that is, requested and received assistance from its allies.
Crazy Trump does what Putin tells him to do. At the last G7 meeting, Trump represented Russia, not America
There is no need to worry about the American president putting America first. It would be strange if he didn't.
What we see in Ukraine and Iran is precisely the “external policy"USA. We also saw this in Kosovo, when NATO bombed Belgrade for two months! It's funny after that to say that Russia is the only one fighting in Europe. The largest NATO base is now in Kosovo... I don't even know how it got there.
Trump makes Europe pay by taking away Russian raw materials and setting his own prices, and now he is cutting Iran off from the market, remaining the only supplier, and the Saudis are his servants...
The reasons for Trump's hasty departure from the G7 summit are clear to everyone. One of them was the invitation of a Ukrainian fool who wanted to demand 40 billion a month right at the meeting. In the end, they donated him only two. He was also upset that, despite his earlier request, Russia was not invited to participate in the meeting. In addition, the Russian Federation has already announced an upcoming provocation by the EU. Namely, it was planned to organize a torpedo attack on an American ship in the Baltic Sea using Russian torpedoes in an attempt to start a major war.
For now, Europe is under the yoke of a liberal government that is very reminiscent of the Soviet regime: all this "green" nonsense, wind power plants, etc., and it has long been sickening. It would be wiser to leave for some normal country.
There is no way back, we need to pay more: then give 100% of defense spending for the benefit of the American military industry with a clear share for their local accomplices.
