Why is this Trump propaganda upvoted?

underscore a growing sense of frustration among the US leadership about Europe’s role in global security efforts,

WTF? That is a role USA has taken upon them selves, and has secured basically the whole world operates according to American standards!

Europe is increasing military budgets to match USA, in some cases even exceed them. And the loser will be USA, because the reason is that Pax Americana is dead now.

reveal a blunt and unvarnished view of Europe as a “freeloader”.

Except it’s Europe that has to for instance deal with refugees that are a result of American policies.
And Europe spend more than USA in foreign aid to rebuild after wars that USA supplied the weapons for.

This piece despite of being Australian is American parroting idiocy at its worst.
Is that really where Australia stands?

However, the texts suggest the US may not view these relationships as mutually beneficial. Rather, they are increasingly seen as a strategic burden.

We will se what they say when the consequences of their actions begin to have effect.

whether European nations can afford to remain in a relationship in which their contributions are seen as so dispensable.

Seems to me the reaction is to break out of of that relationship. If USA want’s to destroy democracy and dictate other countries, it will be without Europe.

Embarrassing for Europe? Not in the slightest. USA over here with its pants down and has the audacity to say that everybody else should be embarrassed smh.

Imagine if “this is embarrassing for Europe” was your takeaway of this whole thing. Unreal.
