| Doing this ensures: - No more soft power - Massively reduced capability to strike the Middle East - Europe dumping US bonds - Europe reducing dependence on the USD - No ability to restrain Europe from arming - No one would trust the US again - remember, the USA has had security guarantees with Ukraine long before this mess. There is a lot to be said about this attitude of "we are doing Europe a favour" idiocy, it's reminiscent of the Bush era jingoism that I have noticed a resurgence of since Trump's second term, especially since the war with Iran. The USA would be doing the USA a favour if they keep doing what they have been doing in Europe since the end of WWII. It's NOT bad for the USA. Europe is under the USA's thumb as a result of NATO. Europe is in for a lot of short term pain as a result of the Ukraine and blockade of the Strait. I also firmly believe (controversial I am aware) a desperate Europe will 100% throw Ukraine to the wolves and make peace with Russia for their energy, and what then? |
