That is accurate.
People since forever have fallen for the rhetoric of politicians.
If you separate the words from the actions and facts you get a different story.
Even I, with my ample mistrust and scepticism almost fell for this 'rift' or whatever they call it between the US/EU.
One of Trump's unreasonable demands was for the EU to pay vastly more for 'defense'.
Which is basically supporting US merchants of death and only used in support of their imperialism when they need it.
Before, everyone barely and grudgingly coughed up their 2%.
And what happened then?
Some arguing and theater about the US not going to 'help' us anymore and our leaders deciding we should have our own defense.
The result is exactly what Trump wanted.
Well played.
