    Good luck using them unless you’re allowed to. Might be an option if you have a couple of months. Though you would have to defend against two nuclear powers during that time.

    Also good luck using your US made jets and critical components.

      Yeah, I’m pretty sure if Germany and the US were on so bad terms that they wouldn’t be trading, Western civilization would just collapse. The NL of ASML fame is a very, very close German ally.

        I believe that with the new US administration (and popular US opinion), one could go from good terms to bad over night. I would not trust that the US adhere to article 5 if things become serious for real. Why should they start a nuclear war just because their semi-friend forces itself upon a woke central European country? Things were completely different during the cold War.

  That’s how I know you’re European. America hates Russia. The cold war left generational trauma.

  You do not have to worry about America siding with Russia.

    JFC, have you been under a rock the last decade? The majority of American population? Maybe. The oligarchs and ruling class? Pft, Trump looks up to Putin as a ‘strong man’. edition.cnn.com/2022/03/28/politics/…/index.html
