    Case and point. EU nations (aka Not the US) asking for support for an eu nation (which did not have anything to do with US coups in Latin America) is to you about the US.

    You can’t even imagine Latin American countires having issues with Europeans treatment of them, like the article states. The response text but up colonial reparations.

    The US is not the center of the world. Countries have motivations that don’t factor the US.

    For someone who doesn’t like the US they have gotten deep in your head.

      The US is the center of the West’s response to Russia’s invasion. That’s indisputable.

        Which doesn’t make make them the center of latin American reasoning. Geopolitics is more complicated than that. NOr is their anything in the article to imply anything of the sort.

          Geopolitics is centered around the big superpowers (the US, the ex-USSR, and China). Claiming otherwise is silly.

              The EU has never been considered a power of the same scale as the US or the ex-USSR.

                And yet is much more directly impacted by, and involved in, the situation in Ukraine and you know, it was a direct exchange between those two parties and referencing those two parties and not the US.

                You’ve got a bad case of American on the brain. You hate the topic but can’t change the subject.

                    You definitely are since the US only pays about 16% of NATOS budget. Which is a smaller percentage than what the US pays to the UN peace keeping forces.

                    You……do know that NATOs budget is not the same things as NATO combined military spending right?

                    And also irrelevant since the EU is not NATO. They share members they do not have identical membership.
