      Treat it how we treat “Russia Warns” - this is probably bad for them and they suck.

    We fully support that you want to be independent from us, but you need to buy from us to do it (and still be dependent on us).

    Sounds like a an abusive relationship to me

      There is still about 100,000 US soldiers stationed all over Europe. It was never about having any sort of equality and mutual respect in that relationship. Previous US administrations just chose to not say this too loudly.

    But maybe Europe simply does not want anymore.

    Maybe this monetary “initiative” has been created exactly for this not wanting American weapons anymore.
