That amount of brain damage: how is it possible to survive with that?
It must hurt badly.
It is certainly time for the US to pay for the US wars.
Less than 5% of peace time for the US in the last 250 years, and
in the time before that, there was no peace at all. Oh, the
plaintiffs cannot complain anymore, they have been conveniently
eradicated.
For the bible thumpers: read 1Samuel -25. It tells how that's done >correctly.
And for the occupiers: Its about time to go home. You never
protected us, you protected your own interests. We are just a
bridge head against the Ruzzians, with middle Europe as the
designated playground for your thermonuclear fantasies.
Yes, we'll pay more, but to our own companies. Gripens instead of
the defunct but overpriced F-35s with their remote kill switch.
Just like the Canadians will do.
Your biggest car exporter is BMW. Guess how long they will stay
in Spartanburg with import taxes on parts? Or Audi?
It's kinda fun to watch that narcissist sock puppet of Putin's
in the White House (as far as there is still something left of it).
If he ever develops ideas of his own, all it takes is a 20 minute
phone call from the Kremlin to put him straight back in line.
I wonder what material they have on file against him. Given how
the GDR targeted western managers with with Romeo/Juliet agents
during the Leipzig Fair, it's more than probable that the KGB
did the same during the Moscow Trump Tower adventure. Hell, he
even got premises for it, inexpensively, beautyful, big, gooood deal!
With his preference for gold, maybe there is more to the rumors
about Golden Showers in a hotel room? On tape, perhaps?
Oh, and the Nobel price medal: Goebbels got one, too, from
a fanboi, in 1943. (Knut Hamsun, 1920 for literature)

The US spent fortunes and lives to keep europe from being enslaved by

(and japanese) and rebuild from the rubble.
The US is lucky to have two oceans and two uncontested borders, and
gigantic natural resources, and to have a mixed-nationality

It is shocking how vicious and sadistic the Germans and the Japanese
were, not just the leaders but the millions of soldiers and prison
guards. It took unconditional surrender and american occupation to
civilize them.

Maybe the unimportant parts of the world that are not the USA.
And there's many of them.
I predict Trump will break from NATO. Just you wait and see.....
It's certainly time for european countries to pay for european wars.
You forget that it was the USA policy to deprive European of true >>>defence capabilities, for decades. The USA did not want competitors.
You think so? And how did we accomplish that?
Not so long ago my county wanted to buy fighter planes. There
were two possible offers: European made Gripen and F-16 from US.
Gripens were cheaper and adequate for defence. F-16 were
more expensive but better for offensive actions. Initially
my county wanted to choose Gripens (F-16 were deemed too
expensive).
But there were strong political push from US
basically saying "if you want to be our ally you must buy F-16".
And that worked.
BTW, this is not limited to weapons. After fall of communism
shops were allowed to operate on Sundays and it was a big deal
for shops (especially big markets) as on Sundays days people had
more time for shopping than on workdays. Later, another government
decided forbid Sunday shopping. US company owning a shopping
chain did not like it. US ambassador talked to our polticians
and we got new law: Sunday shopping was forbidden in shopping
chains, except when the chain satisfied special condition.
The condition did not say that only US owned chains can
operate, but it was the effect: only the US owned chain
satisfied the condition.
The US spent fortunes and lives to keep europe from being enslaved by
germans and russians, and to feed the english and french and germans
(and japanese) and rebuild from the rubble.
You write it as US did a favour to Europe. US did it for its
self-interest and got rich in the process. In WW I US banks
lent a lot of money to Great Britain and France so that they
could buy american goods (probably mostly weapons). Anyway,
that money was going back to US. But around 1916 Great Britain
and France exceeded all reasonable credit limits and there
was risk they they will default and loose the war. Of
course Germans would not pay French and Britsh debts. So
US decided to come to Europe to defend its money. US
taxpayers had to pay and ordinary people were sent to fight
(and some died). But big winner was US capital, they earned
a lot of money and for long time Britsh and French had to
pay back to US banks.
In WW II US banks were limited by law. Instead US government
run "lend and lease" program. US wanted to curb Japanese
influence, so they introduced harsh sanctions (like cutting
of Japanese access to oil). So Japanese attacked: that was
US war having almost no connection to Europe. It was quite
likely that this time US would not get involed in Europe,
but Hitler miscalculated strength of relevant countries
and decided to attack. Again, US taxpayers payed and
money went to US business. US won influence and access to
markets. And while did not request pay for equipment lost
fighting with Japanese and Germans, they required payment
for what remainded operational after the war. So again
the effect was big money transfer to US.
Concerning lives, my country which is much smaller than US
lost more soldiers than US and some of haviest US losses
were against Japan. No wander that US government thought
that losses are acceptable given risk posed by German and
Japenase influence.

Hmm. What is the difference between fighter airplane intended for
offense and one intended for defense? Aren't these use cases, not
inherent properties?
A weapon is a weapon, and some weapons are better than others. Old
saying: The best defense is a good offense. Why? Because the
attacker chooses and develops weapons having prepared for what the
defense has. Defense is inherently harder than offense.
Then there is the matter of technology. In the extreme of sticking to
the tried and true, one ends up bringing a knife to a gunfight.
Ukraine is the poster child for that.

As it should for NATO forces - the major items are necessarily
standardized, so the combined forces are stronger than that of any
individual force, versus weaker because the individual forces are
unable to act as if they were one very big nation with a military to
match.
