u/ArchRespawnsAgain posted the correct analysis of the situation. As long as Europe depends on the US for defense, the USA gets to call the shots. Never has this been more clear than in the aftermath of the staggering display of how wholly under the thumb of America Europe is, that was the bombing of the nordstream pipelines, blatantly conducted by the US, that no European state dares make mention of - minus one polish ambassador who clearly didn't get the memo to shut the fuck up.
Europe was conquered by America in 1945. It has been occupied ever since, with American troops and airbases all over it.
It's all spelled out in a book called The Absent Superpower. The US is worried about the spread of Communism post-WWII, so we basically bribe other countries to take our side. Those who side with us are protected from invasion by the US military, have their shipping protected by the US navy, and are free to sell their products in the US. All that we ask in return is that they don't attack other members of our alliance and don't become Communist.
Comment Reported for: Their entire history is anti-Finland. Nothing to do with MAGA
This user is an identified anti-Finland forum slider, but this forumalso isn't inherently pro-MAGA, and doesn't require a heavy handed focus on either Finland or MAGA.
You misspelled 'vassals'.

Polacks aren't known for being bright.

We should be more angry about how much we send to Israel-
it is a much bigger amount - and we actually send them cash.
which they immediately turn around and use to spend on healthcare for their people.
and use to lobby for open borders in the US (while they have the strictest race based borders in the world)
