Assuming you are German, then: The US liberated your country from fascism, saved half of your country from 50 years of soviet occupation, rebuilt your country with the Marshall Plan after your country started two world wars that killed 100 million people, and now defends your country from genocidal russian aggression because your country is too cheap/lazy to meet your NATO defence spending obligations.
If you can trust the US to defend you from Putin, you can trust the US to handle your data. China doesn't have that relationship with Germany as far as i'm aware
- local_crmdgeon 3y agoMaybe we shouldn’t have done that, if they’re not at least a bit grateful. Social media makes me want to withdraw behind our oceans. Let them hate us for free, at a distance - no reason we should subsidize them if they don’t even like us
- dontlaugh 3y agoIf only you would stay at home. Unfortunately, you keep interfering in the rest of the world. Of course those you steal from and bomb hate you.

- local_crmdgeon 3y agoAgreed! We will stop bailing you out. Please remember this next time you ask.
- kkzz99 3y agoIt was primarily the USSR that liberated us from fascism, while the USSR stopped its occupation of east Germany, the US never stopped. And wasn't it Christina Nuland that said "Fuck the EU" while instigating the Ukraine Coup? Wonder why we should trust the US when it has been one of the worst "Allies" we ever had...
- josephcsible 3y ago> while the USSR stopped its occupation of east Germany, the US never stopped What do you mean by this?
- blacksmith_tb 3y agoPresumably they mean the 40 army bases the US maintains in Germany[1]. 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_Army_installations_in_Germany https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_Army_ins...
- josephcsible 3y agoBut that's not what occupation means. Consider that the US has military bases in the UK too, but nobody could say with a straight face that the US is occupying the UK.
- mensetmanusman 3y agooccupying is also subsidizing defense spending...
- maxdo 3y agoUSSR sponsored Nazi gave them all kind of goods and attacked Poland and Finland in the begging of war . After that occupied half of the Europe , and when anyone tried to escape communism they kill them violently. What a liberators. Oh and US was sponsoring USSR during the war as well , once they switch from being a Nazi ally
- maxdo 3y agoUS has all the rights to say fuck the EU because despite all the investments people there are still as blind and don’t want to look into reality like before WW2. Let’s send billions of dollars to a country where every day on tv they discussing how to invade EU, sure let’s do it . Lets reduce the number of troops and cut military spendings while same country is doing through rapid militarization , oh yeah that’s very smart , sure . But someone said fuck EU while throwing away billions to make at least more weak your direct enemy. What a bad ally
