Having lived there for a couple years, I always thought it was "appetite comes with water (becomes vodka after a few bottles of that)" 😂

But yes, you are right. They may get to keep it if Trump "makes a deal". It's a bad precedent, but no worse than anything post-ww2. Not sure what resource rich low hanging fruit there is in europe tho? Romania isn't easy because mountains, sweden definitely wasn't easy before, and as a NATO member it's even worse. Don't forget that even if the US exits NATO today, the other members will still be forced to honor Article 5 and they too have F35s that can shoot down a MiG from 1000km away.
