71 percent of Europeans favor military
"superpower" status for the European Union. But only about 51 percent
express
willingness to spend the money to make it so.

While your USA tax money is traveling right into someones pocket (Dick
Chaneys for example),
Europeans are not spending their money for dumb military projects.
Also, we have all of the technology that you have and we have many things
that are not and will never be available to you.
