Bullshit, Venezuela is a major pain in the ass for USA, and on top of that has lots of oil, and yet USA hasn’t invaded them. Despite being ruled by an insane dictator with no public support, but under the guise of Socialism.
Trump wanted 2% for NATO, but now most of Europe has decided to go to 3.5% - 5.0% because total independence from USA is the goal now.
European politicians are even saying it out loud, there is no secret about it.
Also USA is selling FEWER weapons to Europe, and American weapons stock values are declining while Europe is skyrocketing. The only thing keeping US weapons exports from plummeting totally, is that Europe is buying weapons from USA for Ukraine. While we are building our own production.
You are delusional if you think anything you state shows that allied democracies are vassals of USA. As I stated before, we had lots of agreements on how to do things, because we were friends and allies, that does not make us vassals. Also there were clear benefits to both sides and smaller allies too under the old agreements. That’s not how it works with vassal states.
Now USA is pulling away from these agreements, and there is cost from that on both sides.
But still that doesn’t make anyone a practical vassal of USA.
You show NOTHING factual to support your claim, because you have no idea what you are talking about.
You are only parroting old communist and current Russian propaganda, that even former communist states don’t believe anymore.
There is more to South America than Venezuela, and Venezuela isn’t over. There was an attempt at the last election and there were war ships last week.
Trump wanted 2% for NATO, but now most of Europe has decided to go to 3.5% - 5.0% because total independence from USA is the goal.
USA got what they wanted and you feel good about it. What more to ask for?
All because Trump is controlled by Putin. That’s propaganda. USA provides the supreme commander for Nato and nobody is questioning that command structure for the war against Russia.
Most likely the EU will not push their social network law so US companies will keep deciding what Europeans read.
Some of those things are true, or at least partially true.
But NOTHING you state shows allied democracies are vassals of USA, and Europe is already working on a defense that doesn’t depend on NATO.
Regarding USA being the commander for NATO forces, what other command structure would you suggest?
But apart from that USA is unlikely to be allowed that position for much longer. Trump wanted to destroy NATO and he basically has. But all other NATO countries than USA are still allies, and there are works in progress of EU/Canada and many eastern countries like Japan and Australia building a new alliance. USA has chosen to go it alone, but everyone else is working on continuing international cooperation to everyone’s benefit. On trade, on climate and on defense. Clear proof that USA never had vassal states, but actually free allies.
No, you must have missed my argument. The EU countries have increased the spending as the US demanded. To convince the population the US threatens to cut off their protection.
That threat cannot be real or the military would implement a second command structure because it would be too late to negotiate with Türkiye, Canada and Great Britain about who should lead when Russia is attacking and the US doesn’t participate.
It would also be highly important to buy some equipment to fill dangerous strategic gaps but we buy the regular stuff.
So the US is still the backbone of our defence and we haven’t split. So if we are vassals we don’t have proof that we could split.
Still as I mentioned, just because allies supported the PAX Americana doesn’t mean they are vassal states, and you have failed completely in supporting that claim.
My claim is that the population of the vassal states is even more indoctrinated.
You say countries were free to join Iraq war. That war was illegal. Ignoring that then doesn’t make sense if it is not ignored now in Ukraine unless there was some pressure.
Yes the countries with actual free press and better basic education are more indoctrinated than a country absolutely infested by propaganda and misinformation.
There is no functional democracy that allow a cesspool of false propaganda like FOX news.
Is there any point where you stop making absolutely nonsensical claims?

An American commander doesn’t make sense if Trump works for Russia. I don’t believe that so everything can continue as is.
Oh so you were just throwing garbage at the wall. It’s not like you have any alternative. 👎
