Everyone blaming Trump (fuck that guy) is missing the forest for the trees.

Europe should have ceased relying on the United States for security as soon as it substantially recovered from WWII. That it didn't has been a bone of contention since before the collapse of the U.S.S.R.

The US benifited from the slavish dependence of european countries on it, and the good business conditions that came with it. This started to change with the EU and in particular with the introduction of the euro.

I guess that it's time for civilized Europe to become a military powerhouse once again.

You're right. Also I can't believe we wasted the 4 years under Biden and now are again caught with our pants down.
