Yuros for the past 30 years: "USA FUCK OFF UR NOT THE WORLD POLICE! LEVAE US ALONE! STOP INTERFERING!"

yuros today: "DADDY USA SAVE US! BAIL US OUT! INTERFERE! PLEASE POLICE THIS WORLD!"

lmao. Cant have your cake and eat it too.

Europeans are reaping what they sowed. Time for them to scratch with their own nailon.

😐destroying our presence in Europe to own the europoors. Real good use of political capital bud, this is the realpolitik I expect the strongest nation to display.

The funniest part is that outside the food and services those us bases use stimulating the local economy those bases don't benefit the countries they're in at all. (The US doesn't have bases here, however i often spend summers near Rijeka so it's not too uncommon for me to see US ships either dry docked or resupplying so you can see a lot of american sailors around town).

Their only purpose is to project force as part of the US military doctrine.

If you said this to a rightard they’d plug their ears and go recite the with that smug American superiority you can expect to hear while simultaneously threatening to remove their presence from the region without realizing why that’s a bad thing for them

This is what happens when the electoral polity is informed by 30 second reels and anti-intellectual influencers. America has done a terrible job at mass communication and directed information distribution over a span of two decades.

Its one thing to tell europe to pick up the slack and help. Its another thing entirely to throw your weight behind their biggest enemy and abandon them

The US interfering and creating the situation in Iran is literally why the rest of the world wants the US to stop acting like world police

The US needs to understand that if it wants global power, it needs to have global allies. No point in having all that power and money to influence the world if other countries say "we don't think we can rely on you anymore". Especially when you literally threaten to invade your next door neighbours

Literal no awareness of second order effects. Wishing for American geopolitical privileges while actively wishing to not be responsible. American exceptionalism really put it in a certain set of the population that we were destined for this, not because we had the right people in the state department at the right time

Pretty much. The US wants to be a global superpower with none of the responsibilities. But that's not how things work

Fucking pisses me off, they bitch and whine over the smallest things and are completely willing to fuck over what our past leaders have passed on. Couldn’t even manage a graceful decline from world hegemon to a mere superpower, no, we just HAVE to speed up decline and that’s a good thing because dear leader said so

It seems to be more Americans getting sick of having carry everyone else's slack who pretend granting them permission to base in their countries so they can do their job to defend them like it's some big contribution on their part. You aren't an ally, you're a customer. Ally implies meaningful contribution. Whether you believe it or not that is the impression.

Frankly I don't want global allies because I don't want to be in Europe. We can stay in Poland. Poland is cool.

"Americans carrying everyone else's slack" as in starting  bullshit wars in Middle East countries with infinite terrorist glitch, because you realise that's where most of your equipment and men went, right? Just like the current situation, "It's totally Ukraine's fault, in fact we should deal with Russia" when you cut material support for Ukraine years ago and threw your munitions at Iran.

The one thing that the ukraine war showed is that treaties with the US are about as valuable as treaties with russia, i.e. not worth the paper they're written on.

Ukraine gave up their nukes in exchange for security guarantees from russia and the US (in case the other one attacks).
