      Sunk cost and they’re more scared of the Russians than they are of the USA, in short.

      It’s a lot more complicated than that really but to be super brief. The trees liked the axe because it’s handle was made of wood.

    Can still happen, Trump is not leaving until 2029. Until then, Europe should not trust America at all.

    Yes, send those F35s. Clever idea. I doubt that they will even lift off to the air in the case of war with USA.

      Just like the ICC judges were cut off of their banks and gmail, Microsoft, etc… doing business with the US is a really bad move, especially going forward.

      EU needs to move on and cut off the US at this point. Let them be the best alone like they want.
