American here. Unfortunately, and fortunately, countries change over time. Americans fought in WW1/2 on the premise of helping our allies. We weren’t in the thick of it at home like all of our European allies…losing entire family lines in a moment, seeing our homes destroyed, our way of life decimated. Thus, I think that Europeans are thankful for the help from countries such as the US and Canada and Australia (and more), not only because they fought to protect freedom but did so without a true threat to our livelihoods back home where it was business as usual. Sending help (troops, weapons, money) to friends in need is the core principle of being an ally. I am hopeful that the existing American political circus doesn’t completely destroy our once “unbreakable” bond with Europe and Canada. They truly have been OUR allies for now over many centuries. Thank you Europeans (and you too, Canadians).
Historically, when the shit hits the fan, France backed us up. And we backed them up. And so it goes with our allies. All the other stuff is just noise.
I couldn't care less that in 2015 the Europeans "hated us brother". Whatever. We go weapons hot they have been there. Same for them. The rest is just a bunch of shit talk. We've done our fair share of it too. So, whatever you say there "brother".
When tanks roll in Europe i hope I never hear our Pentagon issue a statement like "they called us fat and stupid. So we're not gonna help"
However, if that statement were ever to come out of our official channels, it would no doubt be this whiny bitch administration we have right now. Thin skinned, easily manipulated with flattery, and inability to read anything that doesn't start with how great the clown in chief is. Oh his wonderful new clothes. This guy is NOT what we stand for. Brother.
Yeah so being there at the foundation of the US. Fighting, aiding, and supplying us. Recognizing and forming a formal alliance before any other nation. That was so long ago. Yeah - a pretty important time around...oh shit the founding moments and beginning of the US. Grow up? I'm grown. Served in the military. Onboard two US Navy ships way back in the 90s. You grow up. Weak.
What is this I am hearing a Trump justifying destroying an organization we started and used to win the Cold War? For no reason whatsoever Trump is trying to brun down this for his own benefit Trump is a criminal who should have gone to prison decades ago (rap ,froud )god help us!!😱😨😰😳😠😤
Historically we've been drawn into as much of Frances bullshit as they've been drawn into ours. Just recently one of the reasons NATO intervened in Libya was because refugees were flooding into Europe.
Whatever dude. France has been there and the US has been there. The UK has been there as well. It's not revisionist, this is commonly known basic historical facts. You have made no points of any significance beyond people "hated us and called us names."
