All this self-righteous indignant frothing and blethering from the US about Europe not pulling its weight (despite the fact it is) is pretty short-sighted (understatement of the decade) if you consider the position the USA would be in if Ruzzia overran Europe and suddenly there was only a bit of water bordered by numerous deep-water ports between Ruzzia and the US.
The introverted little-world blinkerdness of this policy is simply astounding. Have they no sense of self-preservation? Or are they so indoctrinated in their automatically assumed infallibility (intentional joke - see their recent performance in Afghanistan and Iraq against 3rd/4th division opponents) to assume a happy result?
