Nothing demonstrates the mental colonization of the European mind better than the ease with which Americans have been able to spread the myth over here that America, out of the goodness of its heart, has been "paying for Europe's protection".
The US pays for Europe's defence? No it doesn't!
Of a $968bn global defence budget, only $33bn is spent in Europe, mostly on US bases which are not NATO bases.
The actual US funding of NATO is approx $600m a year, the same as Germany.
The myth dies on contact with arithmetic.

“The degradation of Scott Bessent serves as an illustration of where anyone who thinks they can manage Trump will end up. Corporate America needs to realize that they too must make Faustian bargains if they want to stay on Trump’s good side”
“Even now people continue to treat TACO — Trump Always Chickens Out — as if it were an established fact, although the past few weeks show that it’s just wishful thinking.”

Big Business Should End Its Faustian Bargain With Trump
He’s out of control – and if you don’t hang together to counter him, you’ll hang separately

The only way to stop the spiral is to hit the US hard with escalating economic weapons from Europes side.
The goal is to raise political costs for Trumps imperial project. Europe can win this game of chicken as there’s real opposition in the US to this Trump hobby.

Tariffs would undermine transatlantic relations and risk a dangerous downward spiral. Europe will remain united, coordinated, and committed to upholding its sovereignty.

It's finally happening.
The Swedish prime minister just announced that a pan-European force is arriving in #Greenland as we speak.
No word yet on whether UK forces are among them.
