| The US also profited an exceptional amount from selling arms & software to Europe, far more than the US was spending on military aid to Europe, which was largely contingent on trust and friendly terms. Over a decade or so the US is on course to lose far more than it's saving with these changing politics. |

| ▲ | somewhatgoated 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | Is that really a narrative that people believe in? (that the EU “stole” the money that would otherwise go towards social security in the US) wild | | |
