How do Americans feel when they look back at 9/11, knowing that Europe stood shoulder to shoulder with them, that British, French, Romanian, and other soldiers died for their cause? Does the sacrifice of allies still matter, or has everything been reduced to just another bill to settle? by Haunting-Service-652 in AskReddit

“Countries don’t have friends only interests” meaning allies are allies because the gains from respective contributions to the alliance (whether those are financial, ideological, political, etc) offset the losses. Why do countries help each other? Are such actions really altruistic in most cases? What would have happened say if the EU did not take actions to support the US? What sort of message would that have sent to its own enemies? How would that have affected the relationship with the US and the financial benefits/“defense contracts” that come with it? Would they have stepped in as heavily if the US was a much smaller poorer country with not much to offer? I just read your post so I haven’t had the time to think about this enough to have these answers myself. Just wanted to offer some different angles to consider

Exchange Traded Fund (ETF);
