>Good on Europeans for rejecting this American blight.

Reject it? They pay hundreds of billions for it. Every year. For decades now.

Europe runs on American tech, using American and Chinese hardware, powered by American energy, and protected by American defense.

Surely you're confused here, because Europe didn't reject these things, they offshored them and then teased Americans about working so hard. Europe's economic situation right now is borderline catastrophic, mostly because they built a society on someone else's support in the uncannily calm times after the wall fell.
