Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling (Ret.) writes: “Alliances are sustained by trust—collected in drops, lost in buckets. If we treat them as transactions, we will discover too late that what some considered a drag was, in fact, our greatest strategic advantage. The United States does not lead alliances out of charity. We lead them because no nation in history has ever secured its interests alone.”
It wasn’t a secret, everyone knew the dominance the US has on global affairs because of our close relations with all of Europe and our many other allies.
Who writes this nonsense? Nato is stronger than ever in terms of spending and collaboration with and without the US
Europe has been taking the US for a ride for decades. The EU is not America’s secret weapon but free loader desperately trying to keep its market protected from any outside influence.
Whether it’s IT, where the DMA and DSA were written specifically to target American companies, or protected designation of origin (pdo) laws that state things like champagne can only come from the latrine valley of some shit hole country.
More money was made from fines against US it services than from its own domestic IT companies. Most Europeans seem to think the only type of cheese in the US is kraft singles because other cheeses aren’t allowed to be sold to them.
All of this while letting their military budgets atrophy, since the US will pick it up. What’s that? The US isn’t doing 100% of the work and taking 100% of the responsibility like they have in Kosovo or Lybia? THOSE TRAITORS!!!
But allies support each other.
Sure allies support each other, but the US saw the level of support that meant. Allowing closer cooperation with Japan was vetoed by France. We can assume there would be no support given a war in Asia, and the US saw directly the amount of support to expect with Iraq and Afghanistan. When the US sent over 100,000 troops into theater, Denmark sent 700.
If these are your allies, who needs enemies
