The Netherlands' "substantial contribution" still relies on U.S. taxpayers footing the bill through NATO subsidies and defense contracts. Raytheon's $529M deal to replace Dutch Patriots sent to Ukraine proves the cycle: European allies outsource security to America while our defense industrial complex profits. This isn't solidarity—it's a racket where U.S. funds get laundered through European middlemen.

The real win? Forcing Russia to pay via seized assets, not draining American coffers to protect Kyiv's infrastructure.

Europe's energy dependence on Moscow funded this war—they should bear the costs, not pass the tab to U.S. workers.

Follow the money trail and see who really benefits:
