That was true... 80 years ago. But it's not 80 years ago any more.
By 1980, Europe was rebuilt. What did they do then? Continue to depend on the US for both tech and military.
- bilekas 1y ago> By 1980, Europe was rebuilt. What did they do then? No it wasn't, and also the EU wasn't even in it's crawling stages. Negotiations were still taking place about EU memberships so no, you are objectively wrong. > Continue to depend on the US for both tech and military. In what sense? For the cold war? That was benefiting who?
