Europe has spent trillions on defence since the fall of the Berlin Wall, most of which went to US weapons manufacturers.

What the last decade has shows is relying on external oligarchs for energy and defence is not sensible. The us has encouraged this for a long time. I just hope that Europe actually steps up quickly enough.

It will hurt the us a lot more than Europe, and China will be massively emboldened in the Pacific. It’s a new world order.
