Europe drops the welfare state for fucking what? To spend money in weapons from usa? The same weapons that usa can disable remotely while they treat to invade iceland?

Nice...

Also the same weapons the USA wastes on a completely useless war.

Europe doesn't drop anything, it's an opinion peace from the Financial Times.
No, not US weapons (or rather: not only). The EU-based military industry is currently booming with countries ordering tonnes of stuff from Germany, Poland, Sweden, and France. All locally designed and built gear.

My favourite right-wing trope is that the US can't have socialised healthcare because they spend so much on defending Europeans so that they can.
