100,000 American troops in Europe = a free ride for Europeans? Let's check the facts. 🔹 American military bases are not free Germany, Italy, Spain, and Romania pay for the infrastructure, land, utilities, and civilian personnel of US bases. Germany alone contributes over $1 billion annually to support the American military presence on its soil. 🔹 Europe is the largest customer of the American defense industry F-35s, Patriot missiles, HIMARS, Apaches — all purchased by Europeans with real money. Every security alarm in Europe translates into contracts for Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Boeing. 🔹 American bases in Europe don't only protect Europe Ramstein in Germany coordinates operations across Africa and the Middle East. Sigonella in Italy covers the Mediterranean and North Africa. Romania secures the eastern flank and the Black Sea. These are global American strategic assets — not neighborhood security for Europeans. 🔹 Command is American, not European NATO is always led by an American Supreme Commander (SACEUR). Europe contributes troops, bases, and money — but America holds the controls. Those who control the structure are not the ones getting a free ride. 🔹 The nuclear umbrella is not altruism American nuclear deterrence in Europe keeps the dollar as the world's reserve currency, keeps European markets open to US corporations, and legitimizes American hegemony against Russia and China. But what would actually happen if America withdrew its troops from Europe? 🔹 For America — immediate strategic losses Without bases in Europe, American response time to any crisis in Europe, Africa, or the Middle East grows from hours to days. Ramstein, Sigonella, and Incirlik cannot be replaced by aircraft carriers. Infrastructure built over decades disappears overnight. 🔹 The American defense industry loses its biggest customer A Europe without the US umbrella will build its own defense industry — and fast. Airbus Military, KNDS, Leonardo, and Rheinmetall will take the contracts that Lockheed and Raytheon currently win. Billions of dollars shift from America to Europe. 🔹 The dollar weakens Dollar hegemony is partly sustained by American global military credibility. A withdrawal from Europe signals to the world that America no longer guarantees the postwar order. Alternatives — the euro, the yuan — become more attractive as global reserve options. 🔹 Russia wins without firing a single shot Not necessarily through immediate invasion — but through political influence, energy pressure, and the gradual destabilization of countries on the eastern frontier. The Baltic states, Poland, and Romania enter a security grey zone that no one can guarantee quickly. 🔹 China watches and draws conclusions about Taiwan A precedent of withdrawal from Europe sends a direct signal to Beijing: American commitments are negotiable. The cost of deterrence in the Pacific rises exponentially. Withdrawal is not isolationism. It is strategic abdication. America would not be leaving Europe because it no longer has interests there. It would be leaving while ignoring that those very interests are what make it a superpower. The "free ride" narrative doesn't describe Europe. It describes exactly what America has in Europe.

If you know, you know.

@CasualSaturdays Now we just need to stay up. 🤣

Another win for Millwall today and now they’re up to second. There’s a genuine chance they could be in the Premier League next season. And let’s be honest — is that what Premier League fans are scared of? Not just the team. The fans. The Den. The atmosphere. The edge. Millwall in the Prem would rattle a lot of people.

Millwall are going up and we are going down... It's destined to happen.

And then West Ham said... "we will take both!" 🤣

How can you release a 'behind the scenes' before the series is even out?! 🤣

@ShuuReqium74 @BerzekSavant @__tzs @bratricek Your president likes to bound it around. Basically what's happened is someone's had a few drinks and picked a random fight, thinking they can take everyone on and has quickly realised he can't...So now wants back up. Why should people back him up? Fuck around and get found out.

@WestHamViews09 @BerzekSavant @__tzs @bratricek Did I say NATO dumbass? I specifically said Europe. It's important for allies to aid allies especially not hamper them like denying usage of bases

Let me get this straight: You are locked in a war on the other side of the globe, completely dependent on European infrastructure literaly begging for us to join and you feel like flexing against a continent of several former empires with unmatched history of warfare is good, because former commie empire is digged in 2nd world country for 4 years unable to even stop the destruction of its own oil infrastructure. Buddy, you are not gonna believe that, but Germany stopping being gay, green and woke is not bad for us, but for you. Your entire world dominance stands on a deal that Europe will not militarise and will follow your lead.

A decade since Dimi scored one of the greatest free-kicks in Premier League history 🤩

@ShuuReqium74 @BerzekSavant @__tzs @bratricek Trump keeps talking about NATO. You understand that's a defensive alliance right? You attack one, you attack all... Not help the aggressor.

@WestHamViews09 @BerzekSavant @__tzs @bratricek 1.Europe helping allows the US to focus their attention else where 2. Europe has blocked the US form using the bases located there to launch planes 3. Trump shown that Europe are leeches and shouldn't be considered allies 4. You need it more than we do

Get fucked.

@patriciohenchan @Ellis_ @Ole_is_right Communist for thinking that America's businesses should pay a suitable wage? Jesus fucking christ. Americans. 🤣

@WestHamViews09 @Ellis_ @Ole_is_right Hey, shit for brains, the industry is the way it is because of customers. You think anyone wants to work the day after Thanksgiving? They don’t. They’re responding to market demands, you communist cunt.

American tipping culture intrigues me so much. They deadass want a $120 for bringing plates to a table? Is that not a bit absurd.

@patriciohenchan @Ellis_ @Ole_is_right Then get angry at the business/industry not the customers. Not rocket science.

@Ellis_ @Ole_is_right This waitress has to pay for her own military defense and yours and her kids’ healthcare.

Jesus fucking christ...

@ShuuReqium74 @BerzekSavant @__tzs @bratricek So why is your president quite literally begging European nations to jump into this war if you don't need us? 🤣

@WestHamViews09 @BerzekSavant @__tzs @bratricek When will you ankle biters learn that the US doesn't need you. You're compromised and your countries are becoming Islamic. You pretend that your 'intel' is some thing we absolutely need. The Us has pulled back on sharing Intel with you soft bellied europeans

@BerzekSavant @ShuuReqium74 @__tzs @bratricek If you do not think the US needs Intel from European countries... That is just delusional. It's a two way street, America isn't the main character it think it is. Think of it like being a member of the Avengers... Not Superman.

@WestHamViews09 @ShuuReqium74 @__tzs @bratricek Intel that America needs ? Did you come up with that in your many years of collection and analysis as an intel pro? LMAO. You may return to your embroidery.

@BerzekSavant @ShuuReqium74 @__tzs @bratricek The US may have been taken advantage of however the fact the US can't comprehend that it's a two way street is delusional. America brings military might and money but European nations (and others) bring bases across the world that America needs and Intel, that America needs.

@WestHamViews09 @ShuuReqium74 @__tzs @bratricek I never said you were the enemy. You people are too weak to be an enemy to anybody. I just maintain you are a drain on our resources, which is factually correct
