Don’t you dare call us American! Next thing you know we’ll stop apologizing for everything and actually build a military with jets instead of snowmobiles!

Expecting the US to not maintain its monopoly on the demonym “American” is the same thing as expecting dogs not to bark at the mailman. Other western hemisphere countries shouldn’t have dragged ass becoming independent.

It seems like a very real possibility. A new, EU followup seems like a natural next step to protect the borders and peace.

By the time Russia is knocking at the door of the UK, its already game over.

That said, I would not want to be Polish right now.

Not a lot. The British weapons are reliant on US maintenance. Won’t be credible for long if the US doesn’t support them.

Isn’t this a bit like saying that because I drive a German car that’s maintained by the dealership, it’s not my car?

I’m sure it wouldn’t be tricky for the UK to move the Trident weapons program closer to home, or to align with allies in Europe (lol).

I mean if Europe wants to increase their military funding and move items in house I think that would be a wonderful idea. Because America is not a reliable partner in this at all in the past two decades.

Multiple EU countries want to, but they also want to give stuff to Ukraine and it’s difficult to do both.

If Europe gets into a war of course the US will help. But the same can’t really be said if the US gets into a war. The rest of NATO needs to be able to hold the fort if the US were to get suddenly …distracted in the Pacific

How sure are you of that? Sure, if Russia marches towards the Atlantic Ocean, but if Russia decides to create a security buffer zone in Finland? Or the Baltic countries?

NATO has only survived for as long because of the commitment of the US. Come January NATO is dead as well as a sovereign Ukraine.

If Europe gets into a war, the US will side with Russia. Trump has been a Russian asset since the 80s, and it’s clear that he gave Putin classified documents relating to American spies and informants during his last presidency when they suddenly started dying a few days after he met with Putin. And even more classified documents relating to American espionage against Russia than the ones he requested before that meeting were found in Mar a la Go.

The perfect excuse for the military industrial complex to move manufacturing overseas.

So I’m going to say that the military industrial complex is already there, it would simply be a rapid expansion.
