I think you're just reacting normally to the fact that EU leaders are cowards and sycophants.I honestly dislike Europeans more than even Americans a lot especially the western ones.
At least uncle sam is brave enough to stand in front of me and say these things. Meanwhile Europeans hide behind uncle sam and repeat what he says while still having the gall to act like they are independent.
Notice how they keep saying they oppose America but immediately act like bootlookers when a Democrat liberal is in charge. So basically they have no problem with America in reality which is why they are part of nato.
So yeah. I guess thats why I like Trump over Biden in some ways. He tells these sycophants to stop leeching of him and to face their opponents themselves. No wonder Chihuahuas are so butthurt.
So seeing Europe's economy esp the western part go to hell these past few years feels good honestly.
But it's important to understand - they did not get there by chance or because that's the sort of people Europeans wanted to lead them.
The US put them there. Through a combination of elite education, networking, funding, and lobbying, the US has fingers on nearly all of the high-standing members of the European Commission and the EU administration. Even the local European leaders, many if not most of them, especially those on the left, were funded and promoted by the US. This goes back to the beginnings of post-World War 2 Europe being essentially rebuilt by the US and the British; much like Japan.
