From the Article:

“If you think we should do it let’s go. I just hate bailing Europe out again,” Vance replied. Hegseth agreed that “I fully share your loathing of European free-loading. It’s PATHETIC.” But, he added, “we are the only ones on the planet (on our side of the ledger) who can do this.”

Miller, the Trump confidant, effectively ended the conversation by saying that the president had been clear. “Green light, but we soon make clear to Egypt and Europe what we expect in return.”

@nuko147 @Damage Bullshit... The Americans were the first ones to kick the anthill... Yes, you could blame us for standing by and watching them do it and sometimes even helping, but that's what you do when your (back then) friend asks you for help.

There are no friends between countries. Only allies and benefits. You don't shoot your legs for an ally. Help is another thing. We were supposed to be allies, but the USA überall is their new motto.

Fucking up Libya, destroying Yugoslavia, maintaining a chaos in Palestine - Israel, help invade Iraq with lies, cut ties with Russia and let Ukraine to get invaded are not things you do even for friends.

If you help your friend kill millions of people and keep a region where hundreds of millions live because "a friend asked you for help" then guess what? You fucking deserve the consequences.

You mean when your boss tells you to. Western Europe was colonized after WW2, not to the same dire consequences of the Warsaw pact, but we clearly were subordinate to the US.
