Interesting report from the world of diplomacy and military alliance.
The headline quotation is a direct quotation of a non-American senior official to the Americans at the meeting.
80 years of effort to build up a world of shared values burned in under a year. 80 years of soft power tossed in the compost pile and recycled into fertilizer. 80 years of blood, sweat, and tears as Americans laboured to make the world safe for America.

And they consume a lot of goods far more then other countries.
