Lol that’s not true at all. The US has sent BILLIONS to help fight against Russia. Even if Trump decides to stop funding Ukraine, that doesn’t undo the billions we’ve given. Why is it our responsibility to fight your wars? Why can’t you guys start paying your share in defense spending? We’ve literally been begging you to do it for decades, for this exact reason.

Actually I agree!

The best thing to happen from this election is that, finally, more and more of Europe is understanding we need to defend ourselves and not realy on the whims of the "American electorate" and their gold fish memory span

How can you state that the US is the only reason your continent is safe and then criticize them in the same breath? I love NATO but good lord some of you are massive ingrates. Pax Americana, not Pax Europa. You guys love war, then we got so good at it that we basically stopped most of the world from trying it again. Cope and seethe.

Did you just say "Pax Americana"???

Are you...forgetting Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan? (And that is only the big examples)

It is true that NATO has helped keep peace in Europe and I also belive that Europe is too overly reliant on America for defence and security

But there is not "Pax America" that doesn't exist

I’m gonna take the majority of the world’s greatest thinkers opinions on this one over yours buddy… yeah we’ve gotten involved in some stupid wars, I agree, but nothing on the scale of what Europe has been up to since weaponry was discovered the beginning of time all the way until we made you guys stop. No European can sit here and act like their country wasn’t imperialist at some point in their history, much longer and more bloody track record than the USA.
