with the extreme increase we’re buying even more from the US even if it’s a smaller percentage. Also you can’t just quit. First, we don’t produce certain stuff and many things, like the shitty F-35 and complicated systems come with a decade long contract for maintenance, upgrades, etc… Or you can end that so it’s even more money pissed away. And I say you’re simply wrong. We buy more because our US leaders demanded exactly that and the show will end, only after the damage is done. We wouldn’t be buying weapons if we were so independent, we have no enemies. Europe is economically almost dead because of the US, even if we spend money wisely it may be too late. But that won’t happen with VDL, Kallas or the other fanatic warmongering EU clowns.

And I say you’re simply wrong I have no problem with that. Disagreeing about the analysis is okay. The reductionist dismissal that I was doing a moral argument, I could do without. I will not either reject the possibility of your conjectured outcome. However, I do find your analysis missing on the part of Europe having no enemies. The nightmare scenario for the European elite is not solely Russian aggression, but getting tagged teamed by both Russia ans the US. The crux of the issue is this: The US is threatening explicit subjugation if we do not play ball, and increasing vassalization if we do. The contradiction/compromise of NATO is shifting. The US needs and demands more from its vassals, I agree, but the vassals are eyeing an opportunity to reposition themselves in the emerging new world order.
