Well, maybe the US should stop undermining European security by cozying up to Russia and threatening to invade NATO countries.

Trump thinks like a rapist, he imagines Europe to be a bunch of teenage girls in the Epstein mansion
Of course he thinks like that.
On behalf of all Europeans: No.
And it's so basic you'd think it was unmissable. Yet here we are ...

If i were them I would have fired the sales department a long time ago...
Sales department - product quality is fine, its the leadership at the top (CEO - board members) that is causing all the problems.
EU: *buys EU weapons*
US: "Not like that!"
But it sure sounds like you are salty.
Brexit was the UK sanctioning itself.
Do you seriously claim Brexit is the responsibility of the EU, and not certain parts of the UK?
This decimated our indigenous low pay sector via supply and demand where we parked them on welfare .
Not blaming the EU but other members were making noises but Merkal refused
Today they have full time secure jobs and yes it did do damage to the country but they lot got better
I do think maga USA will be much worse than Brexit …we are only a few months in
Even excluded from selling to that fund, there is plenty of necessary additional defence budget for the US to supply.
It would seem churlish to exclude them as a supplier soley for the political grandstanding of the current administration.
Do you try and keep a major guarantor (and supplier of great equipment) on side despite the idiotic posturing of its leader, or do you encourage them to reflect on the benefits to them of a continuing relationship.
Best bet is to start cutting the EU off of the US. They are no longer the leader of the free world and are inching over to enemy status every day.
But he has to maintain a relationship with the rest of the Republican establishment, a great number of whom face the midterm elections.
USA told us we had to stand on our own legs, and now they cry as we do it? Funny
Same as Switzerland really. If we can’t use the weapons against Russia as we like, then what’s the point?
Besides, if we need to defend our Nato allies like Canada and Denmark then it’s better not to depend on the US for spares and supplies.
Trust is easy to lose and hard to build…

Meanwhile we should keep focusing on ourselves(EU + allies)
With time the chatty lines turned misogynistic and racist and soon the smell from dirty underwear and lack of showers became hard to stand.
Now I walk the other direction… hey, there’s Canada. Chatty and fascinating. Fresh outta the shower
So I say fuck the fascists, and buy European.
