That was not my point.
My point was US wanting European countries to have weak armies and stay under US umbrella. And they did what they could in order to achieve that. Also France was using much less than 2% of their budget for defence as a result of US pressure against raising that number.
There's a quote from a NATO person from the 1940's pointing out what I am trying to explain to you: “keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down.” Read it, think about it, and take heed!
who in their right sense would then try to defend the organisation ruled by the same ruler that wants to keep the other ones down? to be honest i now dont think you have EUs best interest i mind.
Because in exchange for that, USA showed itself as a country Europe could rely on. The deal also included EU getting a lot of money for all kinds of social benefits and such. The money we didn't have to use in our military was used for better things.
We defended the concept of USA defending us so that we could save a lot of money in our defence budgets.
jesus, stop it. the mental gymnastics are of the charts with you. I'm off, there is no point
