But when did you decide that your allies are now called freeloaders and snobs.
Donât you get if your allegiance comes down to money, as a country, you can be bought.

So around 2000 but after that Bush and Blair had their brofest and went to war.
Backed by Europe and allies.
Doesnât add up.

When EU started pushing their currency to compete against American dollarâŚall the while they were expanding into eastern Europe hiding behind American military might.
So where is that mighty EU military? Hell they canât even defend one of biggest trade routes through red sea without Americans doing it for em.

It was the other way round there was huge unrest and fighting in East European countries who wanted freedom and not under dictatorship.
That was their choice and they fought for it.
You keep saying where are we now for the US but thankfully neither one of us has been directly attacked so that day hasnât come.

You still donât get itâŚEU was expanding to compete against our dollar all the while using our military for their expansionist policies.
Personally I find that to be a â â â â â â â insult.

The people in those countries demanded change and choose their own fate.
The EU and the US are big trading partners, for both its outsourcing to China that is bad.

You see thatâs where the shared ideals are most obvious. Europe like the US doesnât really want to be involved in wars, abroad.
And doesnât believe in invading others or attacking unless attacked directly.
