Do you think Europe will ever stop being so dependent on America and stand on its own two feet or are they so spoiled they will never get it?

[RingOfFire]

Europe has been leeching off of the blood, sweat and tears of Americans for 110 years. Americans made the biggest sacrifice in history to protect the Europeans from themselves in two world wars and continue to pay all of Europe's bills for their security while they wallow in fantasy socialism and self-celebration. And many Europeans act like none of this ever even happened.

Many years ago the Europeans decided to become a place of regulation while America decided to become a place of innovation. There are nine one trillion dollar plus companies in the world. Two of them are Chinese and seven of them are American. Exactly ZERO of them are European. Why? Because socialism and unfettered immigration is the road to poverty... UNLESS you have a big brother (like America) to keep subsidizing you.

The problem is that they are spoiled after more than 100 years of being supported by Americans and our hard work and innovation. They are like the spoiled child that thinks that their parents owe them a living while they fritter away their own lives living in a fantasy world.

When is enough enough? When can America stop carrying Europe on its back and make them take at least some responsibility for their own safety and prosperity instead of leeching off of us?

Europeans are living in a fantasy world. The make believe socialism it supporting them when in fact it is America capitalism that is keeping them alive and subsidizing their losing economies.

Then the American left points to European socialism as such a great system when in fact without American capitalism propping it up they would be back in the same place they were prior two the two world wars on the brink of collapse.

You may want to rethink which kind of fantasy world is worse. Hope this helps. ㅤ

You better try to make the point in your own words because the picture you posted doesn't do it.

"Europe has been leeching off of the blood, sweat and tears of Americans for 110 years" --- and yet they are not the ones printing money in exchange for real work.

[RingOfFire]

I have a degree from an Ivy League University in economics and don't have a clue what you are talking about. Clearly neither do you.

USA imports goods and exports dollars. Doesn't confuse me.

[Curmudgeon]

@Hardon-Collider Oh really? Take a look at Italy and Greece, and other European powers are not really much better. Besides, the debt issue is just making OP's point: The USA is overextended.

President Trump is trying to wean them off the US coffers. He just made US a Most Favored with the pharmaceutical companies. I watched him sign it with all the big pharma CEOs behind him. They were not happy.

Thanks for the MHO😎

What is an option. We in EU merge with Chinese which kill our spoiled elites and we return to efficiency. Chinese productivity, Russian resources, European ingenuity. Eurasia will rule the world again.

They want protection from Russia and support for the Ukraine war but will buy oil/gas from Russia rather than America, while not spending anything on their own armed forces.

[DonaldDarko]

Bunch of hippies that don't even know where that money comes from. Small wonder they're so quick to trash talk Trump.

Be careful what you wish for. America first is America alone. America is already losing markets and influence. The more the EU and Canada move away from the USA the more prosperity in the USA will decline.

Like a 26 year old learning about health insurance. 😂 Flap your wings Europe... flap your wings.

They aren't going to stand up to the USA until the Muslims complete their takeover and wage jihad.

USA is bringing its own end with its hostile movements.
