Like I said, views are changing in light of events, but let’s not pretend this was the settled majority view since 1945 or 1990. That’s the point: there has been a presumption by America that their view is the only view over the long term, leading to European perceptions that the US takes an arrogant view of their defence spending.

In some countries however has been the dominant view in Poland and the Baltic states at the very least for the several decades.

Possibly in Czechia too?
