All modern business is built on trust, since Americans are keen on throwing that out the door now, every EU business is going to re-evaluate who to trust.

Which means, no longer trusting American.

What is trust to you? It looks a lot like Europe is getting upset that American taxpayers do not want to waste money on a conflict that is going nowhere, that is not America’s concern.

We have it, although by not being painted in military colors an wrapped in bully speeches needs good eyes and an open mind to be seen.

First, taking you at face value: it's not clear we did that yet. Second, this is ridiculous. Trusting an until-this-point-mostly-trustworthy ally is not spineless (although I guess it might be naive).

It is weak to not recognise the change that has happened. It has been telegraphed for many years.

What has happened in the US could happen to us and we must prevent that while we hope that more sensible people eventually prevail there.

Your ignorance of history and willingness to buy Russian propaganda is sad.

Europe downplayed investment in military capacity because this was seen and agreed as the best way to reduce the risk of WWIII.

Europe also realized that building things is better than destroying things. Is it spineless to do this? Question to you, mavdi, did you volunteer to serve in the armed forces? If not, do you view yourself as spineless for this decision?
