Very unpopular opinion within Europe, but:
Donald Trump was >80% right today in Davos.
The U.S. 🇺🇸
- spent enormous resources to free Europe from the Nazis and Soviets
- could have taken half of Europe if they wanted to in 1945
- instead they freed us and protected us for more than 80 years.
Since then
- they send 3/4 of effective NATO resources and
- protected democracy on every corner of the world simultaneously, while
- Europe didn’t brought any net benefit in Gaza, Syria, Venezuela, Iran, Southkorea, Taiwan etc.
And while mooching the U.S. off militarily, the EU placed higher tariffs on the U.S. than the U.S. did on Europe.
Switzerland 🇨🇭, Ireland 🇮🇪 and the UK 🇬🇧 live from revenues that were created by U.S. firms.
France 🇫🇷 does defacto everything to protect its market from American goods and services entering, even prohibiting the use of the English language on radio.
The U.S. is very strong and they invested massively in the European deterrence. The EU really wasn’t a good ally though.
