If Europe re-arms, why the fuck would it need the US and why the fuck would it still be a slave to the dollar when IT could have the world reserve currency? The entire basis of transatlanticism is that the yanks hold the sticks so none of the leaders in Europe gets funny ideas like in the early 20th century.
How world leaders can be so mundane and pathetic as a rando at the local bodega is one of history’s greatest mysteries. What happened to all of the competent people that we’re left with absolute scrotum skin flakes of politicians.
Tell me, in the history of the human race, when has someone with the biggest stick not use it when its vassals step out of line. People think the US is different than Russia. It isn’t, it just has better PR.
