BeaverFever Posted Sunday at 06:23 PM Report Posted Sunday at 06:23 PM (edited) Tl;DR: while successive US Presidents have demanded Europeans spend more on defence they have opposed and obstructed European attempts to develop military capabilities that can operate independently of the US, as well as European attempts to buy more European military equipment instead of US equipment (nearly 2/3 of European military spending is on US equipment) even though USA buys hardly any non-US equipment. What USA really wants is for Europeans to support the US defence industry at the expense of their own and to have small European militaries that can do nothing except be an add-on niche accessory to a US force.

herbie Posted Sunday at 09:31 PM Report Posted Sunday at 09:31 PM Oh what do facts and reality have to do with anything? And clearly don't understand like a good Trumpoid that when the USA 'suggests' how much you 'should' spend on your military it is an order and an obligation. Quote
