We just need to carry a bigger stick. Besides, we defend Europe at our expense, as one example. Maybe we disband or leave NATO. Imagine the cost to them for that? Better they respect us and the American dollar that is their lifeline. Same with other countries. They need us more than we need them.

That’s a great idea, regardless of the world monetary situation. It’s not 1950 anymore. Europe is now relatively wealthy. And Soviet tanks are no longer stationed just a few miles from the Fulda Gap.
Let Europe take care of Europe.
