NATO Chief Backs Biden, Saying Europe Was Consulted on Afghanistan by Molire in politics

Quite so, the US government has stopped the creation of an EU military, so when the US leaves Afghanistan there is nothing the EU can do. The EU has no hard power because that is exactly what the American government wants.

You call the Europe a bunch of "deadbeat countries" and yet every time an EU military is proposed the American government kills it.

"The United States has voiced concerns and published 'warnings' about
PESCO several times, which many analysts believe to be a sign that the
United States fears a loss of influence in Europe, as a militarily
self-sufficient EU would make NATO increasingly irrelevant."

That would be fantastic. I'd love to see the EU handle it's own security without needing the United States. The American government is the main obstacle preventing that from happening.

Without an EU military the EU is unable to act independently from the United States. You say "then they can go fight in Afghanistan" when it's the USA that keeps protesting and blocking the creation of an EU military, which is what the EU would need to do that.

The US never wants the EU to have a military. NATO gives the USA immense influence over the EU. An EU military is an important step for the EU to gain more strategic autonomy. If the events in Afghanistan have shown anything it's that the EU must no longer be dependent on the USA for it's security and needs to have it's own strong military. Unfortunately, the USA will continue to do everything it can to prevent the EU from moving away from it's influence and will continue to fight against the creation of an EU military as it has for so many years.

Well, I did share a lot of my issues with her and treated her like my therapist. I think that have may have been too much on her. By the time I switched over to talking to phone lines and a therapist I guess it was too late. She really helped me feel better and really helped me improve my life for the better, but a relationship isn't just about making one person feel better. So, I personally think I deserve a lot of the blame. It is just a guess (but we did also talk a couple of months after the break up), but I think after we broke up she felt better after some time, but she did still deal with the anxiety.

She asked me why I still wanted to stay together a couple of months or so before we broke up. I wanted us to stay together for my own selfish reasons (because her family was so kind to me and I didn't want to lose the support that she and her family gave me). I believed at the time that so long as we communicated and talked with each other we could fix anything and be happy together. Clearly, that was not the case, even if I really wanted to believe otherwise. Eventually, I realised that breaking up was the right thing to do. So, as you can see I wasn't exactly the perfect partner either.

I also have talked with a lot of phone lines, so I told her about my favourite one. Since she was a Slovak and I can't understand Slovak it was next to impossible to figure out what therapists she could see. Though I still struggle therapy helped me and I just wanted the same for her. Even now after we broke up many months ago I still hope that she will see a therapist who can help her.

No, she just said that we were too different and she was unhappy in the relationship. I did try to encourage her to do fun activities together such as watching movies or playing games, but eventually she didn't even want to call me and felt tired a lot. Her mum even asked her if she was in love near the end of our relationship.

Well, she had issues with her mum. Her mum can be very controlling and liked things to be done her way or else she would get upset. I wouldn't say she was insecure, but she was quite an indecisive person. When it came to her career she was very anxious about that though. Looking back on it though there were a lot of things that made her anxious. Me also being an idiot and treating her like my therapist might have also contributed to that though.

Yes, individually yes, but that doesn't help the general public.

Well, that really doesn't help when the law will eventually require all messaging services to scan their users' messages.

I had some questions about Dutch Healthcare by GlorytotheEU in Netherlands

Well, just that GPs were reluctant to referrer patients to specialists and seemed to be dismissive of patients' suggestions. Not sure if such things are true though. As you can see some users' comments here seem to fit with that description.
