Ah, the US dependence myth strikes again. #merica
How is it a myth? Europe is lacking for example in high-altitude air defense systems. Or are there European Systems that I am unaware of?
And thats just one example of many. Just look at how much of the European air force is composed of US Jets.
So you're just shifting money to defense for shits and giggles then? Not because the US is no longer a reliable ally footing most of the western defense bill?
Okay.
