What do you not understand about saving money by no longer paying for Europe's defense, which is why we need a $150 billion increase in our military budget?
That…. Yeah. I think you guys are officially “done” when it comes to making sure Hitler doesn’t rise up again, and those are so many American resources that get eaten up for no good reason. France alone can seriously light up any nation who fucks with them— and these days they are very quick to back up allies.
Which would make sense, considering the EU was originally conceived by the French with the expressed purpose of using it as a vehicle for France to project power to Europe and outward. The big irony with the EU is that it won't rise to the occasion for the same reason the US wants to walk away from them: some member states take resources while others provide them, creating a weird state of inequality between NW Europe and SE Europe.
