Like post 9/11 Article 5 or Afghanistan or Iraq?
Also decent amount of European defense budget went to US manufacturers. This will probably change with de-facto end of NATO.
- mountainstar 2y agoTrue but still a massive net gain for America. The irony is, as the Founders knew, America can actually afford to basically not even have a standing army, it's a massive, heavily civilian armed continental sized country with weak neighbours and an ocean either side. So logically Europe should have a far larger defence budget than America.
