Exactly correct. We don't compete with Russia for the European market. We are being used by the Europeans as a big dumb stick. They have been shirking their military responsibilities to NATO for decades because they know the US would protect them. Only Trump saw through the scam and threatened to [pull out if they didn't pay their fair share](https://nypost.com/2019/01/15/trump-privately-said-he-wants-to-withdraw-us-from-nato-report/). Now they are deservingly left with Biden who will abandon them.
