The markets understand that the Europeans know they’re now going to have to make their own stuff, and not rely on their strategic adversary, the United States.

The trouble for the US is that reactions to trumps end up being mostly negative.
The US may be in full blown recession in 12-18 months that just might spread to the rest of the free world
He self-medicated in a stew of alcohol, Rush Limbaugh and FoxNews for 50 years before dying a Trumper.
It saddens me beyond words that he was made to hear Russian propaganda all those years in prison only to have it consume him in America.
The rapid forfeit of America's soft power is worrying. Imagine Europe today without the Marshall Plan, or Africa without PEPFAR.
*shudder*
The USA from today is pretty much the crack house equivalent of a country
Trump kicked a sleeping giant with his tiny foot and knocked the leash off.
Because 'NOBODY even knows how anything works'
Will IS sell them arms?
So long and thanks for all the fish
Buying weapons from the US makes you extremely vulnerable
Thanks to Nazi Musk, criminal Trump and his voters, the US will become a Nazi country without normal allies

Never back.
America decided to be protected by a Pussy.
The “America first” crowd actively sought to disarm the US before WW2 as well. They wanted to abandon the world and let it fall to fascism then. It almost did.
It took the fall of France for America to wake up last time.
Much of the military sales are not that US is cheaper but to better integrate NATO
European manufacturers offer same spec’ cheaper options, which no doubt European NATO members would now consider
e.g. Denmark has a $3.1bn US contact for 27 no F35’s. So far it’s rec’d 8, but was ystdy openly talking about cancelling
I would assume there’s a lot of lobbying going on in Washington & EU
“The markets understand that the Europeans know they’re now going to have to make their own stuff, and not rely on their strategic adversary, the United States”
Also US military industrial complex has big problem because of this.

Don’t have to in Europe to nrver trust America for anything again

Embarrassed????? Are you fucking kidding all allies??????
It is a disaster and a pure betrayal of the Western alliance!
This act of total indecency should never be forgotten!
Why would Europe buy American arms or stuff like Starlink when Agent Orange 🍊 in the White House is courting our enemies and shitting all over our allies.
If there has to be a FOUR eyes, rather than a FIVE Eyes, better without 🇺🇸 right now.
Many many bridges are being burnt.
MAGA is less a principle than a marketing slogan….
Both he & Trump drag their businesses into swamp. Now they’re dragging everyone else’s.
Two dotards.
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
So. Much. Winning.
