The ceiling for return on our investment is much higher in South America than it is in Europe, we should focus on building up our neighbors instead of Europe, and then they will want to stay in their own countries.

Funny how in your senseless defense of Israel at all costs you don't apply this same standard


By applying same standard, Israel receives $4B a year and no permanently stationed US troops, while we subsidize 100,000 standing man army + a full navy fleet in Europe. Israel was also a full participant in our offensive on Iran - when was the last time Europe was a full participant in a war with us? Oh yeah, WW2.

The mental gymnastics you are doing to on the one hand advocate for us playing nice with Europe while at the same time being in STAUNCH opposition of Israeli support is impressive.

This way of thinking is all you need to see to understand that there is no reasoning with Trump haters. No matter the situation, the finger of blame will always be pointed at the same person.

You can not “play nice” without being ceaselessly antagonistic. (this sentence feels weird, but I hope you get my point. And frick Israel.)

GDP growth from q4 2019 to q4 2025

US 14.5%

France 5.8%

UK 5.3% (I thought BREXIT was supposed to destroy their economy relatibe to France, Germany, and Italy)

Italy 4.5%

Germamy 0.5%

USSR in the early 80s 4.5%

So not that far off

Your average European? Sure. But that's not who's tut-tutting Trump right now. It never is.

And there it is. You hate Israel, we get it. Too bad your hatred of Israel blinds you to the reality that Europe has been asshoe for a minute.

Trump needs to pull out and see what they think.

All bases
Ukraine assistance

They already want Muslim control. Add China and they will be full of anti white.

Yeah, cheap plastic crap, low-quality commodities (steel, aluminum, etc), and hardware using stolen IP is so admirable!

The US will be just fine without Europe


Not entirely true. As a hypothetical, say Russia overruns Eastern Europe and starts taking territory. That would not be okay with us and therefore we would not be fine. Maybe Russia never considers this. We will then be fine though we may not be able to travel on river cruises over there.

We're losing our status as lead influence on global affairs, for certain. Whether China picks up that ball remains to be seen. Unlike us, China builds and produces things (other than missiles) so I'd imagine they have an edge.


You seriously think Xhina will allow Eroupe to use them as a welfare bank?

Lol. They will control them.
