[19FortyFive] This persistent reliance on America should come as no surprise. A 2020 Pew Research Center poll found little enthusiasm among Europeans to assist one another. The overall median result was 50-to-38 percent against.

That number hit 40 percent in only three other nations — France, Poland, and Spain. Only 34 percent in Germany did so. In every case more people believed that America would defend them. Of course.
