USA is paying for European defense so that Europeans can get free healthcare, free college and work only 35 hours a week
The USA is not a charity. It's getting something in return. And that is the absolute subservience of its European vassals. They blew up our pipelines, for God's sake, and then blamed it on Russia while crowing about what a 'great opportunity' it was to sell us their overpriced LNG crap.
it's Europe compromising with Russia
Compromising? There was nothing to compromise about. There is no reason to be hostile to Russia. It's US-induced hostility towards Russia that has led us here.
Had we taken account of our own interests, we would have realized that a fight between two constituent republics of the USSR has absolutely nothing to do with us. Of course, the Von der Leyens take account of their interests, not that of the people, and it's in their interests to be subservient to the US and do whatever Washington commands.
Europe wouldn't be drunk with Russian gas
We were warm, had industry and had cheap energy.
How awful.
Now the US taxpayers have to pay billions to fix that mess in Ukraine.
The US created the mess, it's only fair that the US pay to fix it. Also the hundreds of billions supposedly necessary for the recovery of Little Russia from the conflict that the US provoked.
