> I don’t really understand comments like this. US has lots of problems but we do have the semblance of rule of law

I, as a European citizen have no practical way to benefit of that semblance of rule of law.

I don't think that's true at all. If you have a grievance, you can bring a case in American court and be assured of at least a reasonably fair hearing. Far better than in China, at any rate.

I'm sure you enjoy imported goods in your European country no? Imported goods that were likely shipped to you via pirate-free shipping lanes courtesy of the US Navy?

Even Russia sent their military ships along Somalia borders. This was and still is a military cooperation.

The US has the strongest military in the world by...a lot. And they're probably your ally. It's better if your ally has semblance of rule of law rather than the alternative.

As a European, you benefit immensely from being a member of NATO, you might be a part of Russia otherwise. To think US and China are equally bad requires an astonishing degree of naivety

We are having US nukes in our backyard. This adds as much worry as it adds protection.
