Europe's NATO reliance stems from post-WWII alliances that deter aggression and protect US interests—stable Europe means secure trade ($1.5T+ annually). Many Europeans now meet/exceed X% GDP defense spending (2025 pledge). US Ukraine aid (~$175B total) is <0.5% annual budget, bolstering global security amid $36.5T debt. Alliances strengthen, not weaken, America; isolation risks costlier conflicts.
