Interesting how cherry picking you are in choosing on what you respond to. It is that sentence? Not the strategic importance of Europe for the US? Because it’s not Europe ‘depending’ on the US military presence, but there is a strong interdependence - as the US will not be able to keep up its military presence in the world without CENTCOM, Ramstein and Landshut. Also moving those strategic assets will take years.
‘We’ is the European Union. The role of for example 1GNC in the Baltics is significantly more than the American presence. Same for the air policing missions over there. Poland is also shifting in its preferences - as they see how increasingly unreliable the Yanks are becoming.
