If anything, NATO has allowed European leaders to be total jerks about saving themselves.
Perhaps Cruz is neither old enough nor culturally aware enough to know about times when Europe needed time to rebuild. He certainly doesn't have a clue about the kind of strong "got your back" kind of leadership we needed today.
Completely correct. America has been played for a sucker for too long. Europeans and their leaders are still caught up in World War II dreams. They still think America will pay their military bills and send millions of American youth to fight and die for them and their socialist societies as we did in the 1940s.
In the meantime the Europeans are using the money they save on military expenditures to pay for the costs associated inviting Arab/Muslim rapists and terrorists into their nations to satisfy their bizarre misguided left-wing notions of diversity and multiculturalism.
