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.”

Everyone has a moral obligation to decline immoral orders let alone immoral requests. “Just following orders” doesn’t cut it.

@Reddfugee42 Who said anything about that? The world isn’t black & white you know? As much as it would simplify things, life isn’t simple and never will be. Good things were done during that alliance as well as bad things. I was just pointing out who started it.

I mean, you did, when you said “you could blame us for helping but that’s what friends do”
