Europe spits on the US these days.
Only until the next time they need us. Although Kipling was writing about the British Empire, "...it's Tommy this, and Tommy that......until the guns begin to shoot...then it's "saviour of his country"...". Only in this case, it is "...saviour of my (British/French/German) ass...".
And idealistic fools that we are, we'll jump in and save their asses......AGAIN.
True.
But the same EU parasites that spit on American Taxpayers use a fraction of the money they 'save' to butter up assh*les in the State Department. That's how they keep the 'support' buzz going... that and the 'press' works for democrats. Who knows, maybe they're in on the perks.
It's cheaper for the EU to buy off a few hundred American State Department ego maniacs then do their fair share. Thank God Trump sees these people for what they really are...
Not Central Europe, they are still grateful to the US for ending the Cold War and freeing them from Soviet domination.
Without the United States, the Berlin Wall would have started on the beaches of Normandy!!!
