When in the last two centuries have the French, or the British, or the Germans, or the Belgians, or the Italians moved in a way to unify that continent to stand up to this kind of genocide?
Biden went around congress to fund a different genocide. Pretty words, but living up to them is another matter.

“serious administrative shortcomings [that] threaten the continuity and safeguarding of crucial technological knowledge and capacity on Dutch and European soil,” the government said, with "fears of tech leakage, meaning property and know-how are transferred to China.'

I don't know enough about Dutch law to say much more than that, but I'm sure they had lawyers work it out.

the two things--greater domestic wealth for the working class, and a strong foreign policy--historically have been demonstrably causally correlated. Again, as I have alluded to in my previous post, the postwar American economy was extremely prosperous
Someone might counterargue that building bombs that do nothing but explode (or worse, destroy assets) is not a benefit to the economy, and that the 90s had an economic boom as the world returned to peace, and anyway government spending doesn't matter (economically) if it's on bombs or on anything else.
It would be interesting if you looked up how much benefit was from war spending and how much was from other effects. I think you will find there is not actually a correlation.

Trump "succeeded" in increasing European defense spending by repeatedly caving to Russia and destroying US credibility.
I don't pretend to know what Trump's goal was, but he did succeed in getting Europe to take the active role in the Ukraine conflict. They are taking care of it now.
