    They’re all worried they have to pay for their own militaries now and moving the budget around to reflect that. Germany doesn’t believe Western Europe is safe from Russia. Not being able to subsidize nearly your entire military because the US has “got you covered” is a big budget issue

      Nope. Lindner was cutting scientific budgets long before agent orange took power, and so was Wilders. And the EU.

      Because they’re anti-science right wing bastards (or, in the case of the EU, have way too many right wing bastards in parliament).
