This comment can be attributed to lacking knowledge in history. North Atlantic security model was decided 70 years ago. It was decided that instead of strong European military union US will be the grantor of security against common adversaries. Instead of very strong European armies, US will have overwhelming power. Do you realized why this might have felt a good idea after WW2?

It is most notable that all countries who feel threatened by Russia contribute well over 2% of their GDP into defense. Do you understand in US that this stupidity that is going on in the congress and this dangerous rhetoric is especially hurting these countries? Do you realize that for example Spain is not really feeling threatened by Russia and people in Spain (the voters who effectively decide the size of the defense budget) do not really care about US not helping them as they don't see any credible threat? This is only hurting US, what is losing its credibility globally as a serious security partner.

Political entertainment is now a huge industry in the USA. They hook people by getting them angry about stuff they know nothing about.
