And you blame Europe for America's bad financing and decisions to arm their opponents?

America doesn't do things so that other countries don't have to sacrifice as much... why do people think countries and companies have feelings

America runs on military so they need to keep demand up, US weapons companies spend money on lobbying and politicians who can affect US military outcomes own stocks in those companies

Why would politicians cut down on military budget when every increase in it also increases their net worth?

Never blamed Europe for anyting

Never said thats why they do those things, only that what they do causes those things, which is does. The more burdern of an European war America takes on, means the less Europe has to take on.

Yes those are the problems that keep feeding the majority of the tax Americans have to pay to things that do not improve their welfare, notice how those are both independent of voting and effect the people who fund the parties and candidates themselves, its not like Americans haven't tried anything, the protest against the war in the middle east was the largest protest in American history at the time it happened.

Now that those funds are improving someone else's welfare, instead of someone else profits, I had though, I guess mistakenly, the people who it's benefiting would maybe help the people from which the benefit came with things their country cannot do, just like how their country helped with things the whole of Europe could not do.
