The best of intentions, I should put that in parentheses, lento the formation of NATO. Unfortunately a time limit was never included. Thus the U.S. became the teat that Europe suck on.
U.S. dollars rebuilt the German economy while nothing was spent on industry in the U.S. Needless to say, the German industries were more efficient and the labor force eager to work. All the while European countries paid nothing for their defense against the bugaboo, U.S.S.R., they were happy to let the U.S. do it while creating a more socialist environment. Exactly wha the U.S. was there to oppose, in the guise of the U.S.S.R.
Like turning around an aircraft carrier it takes some time, and that is what President Trump is doing. Weaning Europe off the. American teat. Like any baby, Europe is crying.
