These are the champions of "free market", everybody. You have to step up defense spending "iT's fOr yOuR oWn SafEty". No, not like that. Pathetic
Oh no, this is not what the US had in mind when the military industry lobby pushed the US government to strong arm Europe into spending more on defense.
Always the same shit from them: you have to buy our stuff.
The hide of them expecting more effort toward Ukraine but it must be purchased from the US. Same bullshit excuses too.
Keep standing up to them Europe.
They should be lobbying in Washington, not in the EU. Wrong addressee. But trust has already been destroyed anyway. Even if a more friendly government comes to power in Washington.
Trust is hard to earn and easy to lose, but i'm sure the US can bribe EU politicians if need be.
And we need to make sure any politician caught doing these bribes is never elected for political office again.
And, of course, that they actually get caught.
The US is the largest arms exporter in the world. It would be amazing if that were made no longer true.
Something about a pot and a kettle.
Where is my "You Have No Power Here" meme when I need it?
Never give in to bullies.
