Due to European military dependence on the US, Europe has been deferential to the US. They let the US use their land and facilities even for wars they disagreed with.
Defending Europe is not a driver of US spending. Europe spending more is good, but it won’t make the defense of the US and its interests cheaper. If the relationship is too damaged, it will make it more expensive.

Trump’s overzealous anti-DEI push in the military that has led to the canceling of promotions of mostly nonwhite straight males, may be hurting the military by decreasing the number of quality nonwhite straight males who want to serve in the military, as well as hurting their morale.

A regime change war against Iran had a chance of succeeding, but it required both commitment to a longer war and preparing the Iranian opposition on the ground. The Trump administration, despite essentially declaring a regime-change war at the beginning by calling on the Iranian people to soon rise up, did not appear to much help the Iranian opposition and had no stomach for the length of war necessary to give regime change a chance.

The world underestimated Russia’s ability to rebuild its military and its willingness to invade other countries. Yet, people don’t think there’s any possibility of Russia invading countries other than Ukraine! NATO and the United States better remain wary and prepared.

The missile that killed many Iranian school girls was facilitated by the Trump administration reducing staff to mitigate civilian harm.
The administration refuses to seriously discuss and inform about the US strike that blew up an Iranian girl’s school.
Secretary of Defense Hegseth got his job by advocating that Americans who committed war crimes should not be held accountable.

At the start of the Iran War, Trump straight up told the Iranian people that the US was here to help the Iranian people overthrow their theocratic government. Trump was either lying, or just gave up on that goal.
“to the great proud people of Iran, I say tonight that the hour of your freedom is at hand. Stay sheltered. Don’t leave your home. It’s very dangerous outside. Bombs will be dropping everywhere. When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take. This will be probably your only chance for generations.
For many years, you have asked for America’s help, but you never got it. No president was willing to do what I am willing to do tonight. Now you have a president who is giving you what you want, so let’s see how you respond. America is backing you with overwhelming strength and devastating force. Now is the time to seize control of your destiny, and to unleash the prosperous and glorious future that is close within your reach.
This is the moment for action. Do not let it pass.”

Iran tried to demonstrate that they controlled the Strait by attacking shipping that didn’t go where they commanded. The US struck back at relatively low-value targets near the Strait.

Trump went to war without the willingness to win it if Iran simply fought back in predictable ways.
Trump can get away with acting like a jackass for the same reason he can get away with grabbing women by the pussie…he’s a celebrity. When you’re a celebrity, they let you do anything you want. Other Republicans who have tried to imitate Trump, have not been very successful.
