You speak for yourself, not for others.

> I understand why you feel what you feel, but many people here also feel we've been abused for decades.

That's on them. If people allow themselves to be misled that is not something that other countries should take into account when determining their foreign policy. If there is an abuser here then it is perfectly clear where that abuser is located.

> I'm not saying you have abused us, but maybe you should try to understand the perspectives that brought us to the current situation. Americans have complaints too.

And that's fine. But then you should do something about the root cause of those complaints and if and when you do you will find that maybe Europe and the bulk of the population of the USA have a lot in common.

> I won't respond further messages on this thread because I think we should stop fighting.

You are the one promoting that attitude with your original comment.
