    Europe did a big anti America propaganda campaign to convince their population to spend money on European weapons. Europe is now spending that money on American weapons.

      lol. Not sure where you think you saw an ad campaign. If anything I saw the public spontaneously boycotting way faster than the average government based ad campaign could have been arranged. If there has been any campaigns (and again: I am aware of none) then it was after the public already started boycotting by themselves. Source: I live in the EU and saw this happen and had conversations with people around me about the boycotts too.

        There is no “public opinion” in Europe. Only sheep who repeat whatever line they are fed by their media and politicians. One day they are going to break loose from America. The next day the 5% NATO money is going straight towards daddy Trump and nobody bats an eye.

        The contradiction of the EU buying American and Israeli weapons with their new money instead of European weapons is too hard to ignore.
