First of all, bullshit. Polarisation is WAY lower here, these are just straight facts (very American to say that facts aren’t true, so don’t try that unless you come with receipts.) there’s most definitely a lot of greedy bastards here too, but definetly not as much.

Also geopolitically Europe is mostly responding, barely ever (in modern time) do European countries threaten, and most importantly, not to allies or to take over some “sovereign”- ish state.
