From the Article:
“If you think we should do it let’s go. I just hate bailing Europe out again,” Vance replied. Hegseth agreed that “I fully share your loathing of European free-loading. It’s PATHETIC.” But, he added, “we are the only ones on the planet (on our side of the ledger) who can do this.”
Miller, the Trump confidant, effectively ended the conversation by saying that the president had been clear. “Green light, but we soon make clear to Egypt and Europe what we expect in return.”

Kinda related, I made a similar comment about my country (🇲🇽), about how we got screwed over a long time ago but we didn’t really took matters into our hands after that at all and got downvoted to hell by people blinded by “but 'murica did it, it’s their fault”, like bitch, I’m not saying they didn’t do it, I’m saying we didn’t do anything to not let it happen again or to not be so weak.
It’s as if every or most goverments around the world didn’t learn shit and just got complacent, we brought this upon ourselves.
