"For some reason", really? The US reconstructed Europe after WW2 using its own funds mostly and has subsidized its defense spending for the past 80 years and counting. Europe also has enormous amounts of resource wealth expropriated from its many colonies around the world, plus significant ownership stakes in resource supply chains in those countries that persists to this day. Every single Russian oligarch, plus dictators in Asia and Africa have stashed their wealth in European banks.
