    And fuck those who fuel the USA beast, like practically every nation in the EU!

    They enable the USA for a cut of the pie, some with a larger slice than others…

    Being the world’s top arms dealer does wonders for profits, their customers are world wide and business is booming. USA has tripled production of firearms alone since 2000, and odds are good that they arm your police and/or military.

    Not one of them “stands for democracy”

      That’s bullshit, EU absolutely stands for Democracy, and so do the member states, except Hungary.

        Okay, then why are they financing the evil USA and buying billions of dollars worth of weaponry every year?

        That’s the EXACT OPPOSITE of “standing for Democracy”

        Kinda weird.

        And that’s just the start… financially, they’re even worse.

        I can’t keep track of every country’s evils, but I know for sure the USA is un-Democratic, and I know for sure that EU countries all enable the USA to do so.

        So yeah, if it’s “fuck the USA”, it’s “fuck the EU and NATO”, too. Sorry

        If you sit at the table with Nazis, you’re a Nazi, right?

          And that’s just the start

          No you didn’t really make a “just the start”, because your point is stupid. Every European country is doing everything they can to get independent of American weapons.
          The reason we buy them now is mostly to help Ukraine, and maintain arsenals based on older agreements.

          I can’t keep track of every country’s evils,

          No because you are only seeing shadows in the dark.

          So yeah, if it’s “fuck the USA”, it’s “fuck the EU and NATO”, too. Sorry

          Absolutely not, you are just being irrational. EU actually stands for good, and respecting human rights is part of the requirements to be a member of EU. And those rights are actually upheld as law by EU. No other defense or trade alliance or union that I know of, is as observant to human rights as EU is.
          Even by your own account Your accusation is nothing but guilt by association. You are just raving without even having a point.

          EU deals with USA because USA used to be an ally that although a mixed bag, they generally stood for observing international law and for defending democracy.

          That has changed and we can’t trust them to do that anymore. So EU has started MANY programs to achieve independence from USA, and on defense one such major program to the tune 2 trillion Euro, is the SAFE program.

          Your ignorance and accusations are astounding for not knowing or understanding what EU is all about. Which is the exact opposite of what USA has become under Trump.
