> because they dont spend shit on their militaries there would be no money to spend anyways. the weakening of the euro (which has destroyed germany's long-term growth because it kept people from reinvesting) already takes care of that, and the only reason the euro is being weakened is, ofc, that we're forced to in order to prop up the dollar. the only direct saving we get from the us that comes to mind is that we save massively on r&d for pharmaceuticals since we have accesss to the generics that undercut the price of the original patent holders. in essence, that's one of the few things the us citizens pay for that benefits us, but it should be needless to say that that's hardly worth the price of being a vassal who gets their shit blown up whenever you guys need to create a new income stream.
