Ok. First off, how is slashing troop presence by 9,500~ abandoning Europe? And if troop presence in Germany is symbolic of America's obligation to protect Europe, how is that paid in return? Because between the disgusting tariffs they impose heavily on the U.S., the lackluster funds they seem short on, the constant undermining of politics in the U.S. (a foreign nation to them) they don't have any business in, or the EU's treatment of U.S. allies who get the short end of the stick for trying to maintain any semblance of autonomy, this friendship seems awfully one sided. Not just to America, but any "friend" that refuses to tow the line. And if you've got to bend the knee, is that friendship or servitude?
