Re: Eye-watering

And you do not think that having Europe in a militarily subservient role for half a century was to the advantage of the US and US arms manufacturers?

Especially the UK had a capable and functional arms- and aerospace-industry at the end of WW2.

Why did the first supersonic flight not take place in the UK?

Why was the German stealth program so suddenly cancelled once the US became aware of it?

The current status quo has been advanced by both sides of the pond. It needs to change, true, but to push all blame away is disingeneous from both sides.

Also, pretending that Europe has chosen social care over military defence ignortés the fact that in the US, the military is uised as a huge (and extremely inefficient) social care system.

Downvoting you? Naah.. better to discuss things and learn alternative viewpoints. Nobody willk be perfectly right, and only a very few will be so completely wrong that they still make excuses for Putler.
