… Have you read anything whatsoever about European history? Russia has been an imperialist force since before the US existed.

And given the EU is on the same continent as Russia, that should really be the other way around.

This is something they should have done years ago, the US has been grumbling about other NATO members not spending enough on defence long before Trump got into power. And they spend roughly twice as much per capita as many European countries, so they kinda have a point.
