@global.intel.ltr: America’s European Destiny Episode 5. Can Europe afford social welfare spending only because America is paying for Europe’s defense? #economy #taxes #nationaldebt #investing #macroeconomic
Europe has, historically, bought quite a lot of military hardware from the U.S. So quite a bit of European money has benefited the U.S. arms producers and thus the U.S. workforce. That never seems to get mentioned in these talks either.

Let’s not forget that the reason the USA wants all those bases and troops in Europe is because it gives them global military superiority.

Europe is dependent on the US but that is because US wanted us to be dependent

Thank you!
Finally an american is explaining the truth to America. Most europeans don't care if U.S. military leaves europe. Some europeans appriciate it if they do so, because America isn't seen as a reliable partner anymore.

the EU bought a lot of US equipment and that will change. The same with big tech.
The only friend of the US is FAFO..

You should read this paper titled World Depression 2 on SSRN. It outlines the upcoming global financial meltdown and triggers. It’s kinda scary.

I am glad you exposed the myth surrounding US Military presence in Europe, it was and is a strategic choice benefitting US. Unfortunately that benefit is overlooked by the ill informed.

Europe is subsidising the US weapon industry and therefore also the US economy.

Why would Europe with its population of 500million need the help of the US against a country of 140 million. Russia is no superpower its GDP is roughly the same as Spain’s and Spain is not a wealthy country.

I think the most powerful statistic when mentioning healthcare which needs to be the starting point for any and all discussions regarding the US and the OECD/EU is this - over 18% of US GDP comes from healthcare for Public + Private. the equivalent Public + Private figure in the OECD is 10.5% on average. that's despite the US being younger on average and the fact that they get worse health outcomes, living shorter lives and having developing world stats on things like maternal mortality compare to Europe for example.

Amazingly, 650 million people don't need 350 million people to defend us against 150 million people. Great that you're part of NATO, but we could live without you. You would just cease to be a superpower, which apparently, is important to you.

Let's not forget the NORAD early warning systems in Europe and the CIA intelligence gathering through espionage and listening stations across Europe. Without aircraft stationed in Europe the US won't be able to control events in Europe and the Middle East.
If the US military had to withdraw from Europe there would be a lot of US servicemen out of work, the US military industrial complex would see a massive downturn, worse than the downturn caused by the Trump Slump as trust in the US nose dives!
