Because US proved itself to be an unreliable partner.
2 comments

Apparently unreliable partner just means “not being taken advantage of”. If stopping a waste of American taxpayer money results in this reaction, it’s clear the countries looking to decouple were never really partners of the US.
Dude, the US threatens to invade those countries that used to be allies. "Unreliable partner" means traitor.
Because the US is asking Europe to defend itself eighty years after ww2
Because the US helped an enemy in the middle of a battle and prevented us from using aircraft and equipment we bought....in the middle of battle.

You can argue the rights and wrongs if you want but all that matters is the US cannot be trusted.
