How are Europeans exactly benefiting from American world hegemony?
Is it not obvious?
Since WW2 we have underwritten European social welfare states by subsidizing defense. We secure sea lanes and choke points (Suez, Hormuz). Which protects global trade. We provide cheap financing to Europe and access to our deep liquid markets. We give you geopolitical insulation from Russia and china. In short you enjoy peace, trade and welfare at a heavily subsidized cost due to American strength.
