No, the US did not “win two world wars for Europe”. They were late to the party both times, only joining once they were sure they could profit.
And the EU is not neglecting military spending because of social policies, but because of the lack of credible adversaries. We just bled Russia of most of its army (I mean equipment, not waves of ineffectual flesh) without even getting near it.
And the flip side is that the whole world has been going along with the US because they spent money on guaranteeing global free trade. If that’s over, so is unlimited deficit spending.
This is a childish tantrum from the rich idiot kid that doesn’t understand where the family wealth comes from, and it’s going to be a rough awakening once they realise the world can go on without them.
And the EU is not neglecting military spending because of social policies
That is probably just channeling the current German chancelor who in the context of the constitutional debt brake said that they don’t want to lower social spending in exchange for more military spending and was advocating for debt financed military spending instead.
This article is so unbelievably stupid.
