    And the kicker is that Europeans went and died in Afghanistan when the US decided to invade it and called Art 5 using 9/11 as pretext. The whole reason those people died was that in this exact scenario the US would still be on our side. And it isn’t.

      We (Denmark) helped USA in both Iraq and Afghanistan. In Afghanistan we even had the highest rate of fatal casualties among allies, compared to the size of our population.
      Now we are not buying American made defense equipment anymore, apart from contracts already signed, and we are working to get rid of Microsoft in government organizations and public services.
      Many European countries are doing the same, no more helping the American military industrial complex, or the American government when they have an F35 program with budget overruns. Which we actually did when we signed our F35 contract with USA.
