Turns out it’s kind of hard to tell the US to eff off when the peaceful existence of your entire region relies on the US military. And there’s no alternative.

Turns out it’s kind of hard to tell the US to eff off when the peaceful existence of your entire region relies on the US military.
And there’s no alternative. When left to build their own strong domestic militaries, the Europeans tend to quickly start conquering each other. See history.
If you give the middle finger to the US a little too much, bye bye NATO, and then we see how fun Europe gets when regular programming resumes.

- shortsunblack 3y agoNATO is one-sided alliance in favor of US. It literally makes so that American weapons manufacturers are preferenced over domestic military industry, which now is more or less dead. Europe used to have lots of successful weapons manufacturers. Now NATO is standardized against American industry.
