Nope.
The Chinese built the mighty Chinese economy.
Through sheer hard work and innovation.
“Just like Europeans built America truly from scratch.”
Nope.
Americans built America from scratch.
That's why America is ahead of Europe in Space, technology, AI etc.
Europe is faded and jaded.
Can't see any European company even on the same planet as Nvidia for example.
“Without European hard working pioneers, and without FRANCE’s massive effort to save America's independence, there would be no America as we know it today.”
Same France that was saved from the Nazis by US troops and money in WW II?
“America is Europe's child.
Historically speaking, Europe's investments in America is so massive, it's beyond biblical!”
Now why don't we talk about the hundreds of Billions probably Trillions of dollars (in today's money) that America has poured into Euro after WW II, starting with Marhsal Aid and then the hundreds of billions of US dollars spent by America in NATO to defend the hapless Europeans since WWII?

USA-FRANCE:
You are shockingly unaware about basic historical facts.
Let me explain:
After WWII, Europe wasn’t sitting around waiting for charity. The Marshall Plan wasn’t some magical, one-way money fountain. It was, among other things, a mechanism that pushed Europe to buy American manufactured goods, American machinery, American grain, American everything. The dollars America sent over were tethered to American production. That means the money boomeranged straight back into the U.S. industrial base. Factories ran around the clock. Corporate profits ballooned. The American middle class exploded. Washington didn’t just “give”; it sold, and Europe paid. Very rich of you to omit this… or you simply are not aware about history.
Then add NATO: Europe didn’t get “free protection.” Europeans bought American weapons, American tech, American logistics, American contracts. Decade after decade. You don’t get an economy the size of a small sun by handing out freebies. You get it by having an entire continent as your customer base! Right? Europe is behind America’s wealth which started right after WWII.
And WHO were the first courageous settlers and pioneers who started America?
All Europeans! (Even though the Indians were there first… they didn’t build America as we know it today).
So when you throw around those “hundreds of billions” like a bored accountant, you skip the part where Europe’s purchases turned American industry into a monster. Europe rebuilt itself while funding the greatest manufacturing boom in U.S. (and possibly the world’s) history.
