Why were the USA so successful in the Cold War? They implemented the Marshall Plan to economically strengthen their partners in Europe. The USA was the largest economy and opened its market to the products of its allies. The USA offered its allies a security umbrella with nuclear deterrence through NATO. This enabled America to push back the influence of the Soviet Union on Europe and ultimately win the Cold War. The alliance between Western Europe and the USA is difficult today. Germany, for example, follows a mercantilist economic model and is therefore dependent on cheap energy and large growth markets. Russia and China can offer both to Western Europe like no other country. The USA, on the other hand, is becoming increasingly less important as an economic partner. And since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Western Europe no longer faces a serious military threat from Russia. Nevertheless, tens of thousands of American soldiers are still stationed in hundreds of US military bases and US nuclear weapons are on German soil. If you look at the situation objectively from the US perspective, America is protecting Europe from the countries with which it has close trade relations. However, Europe's core interest is to further develop its economic relations with the US's biggest competitors. Do not be blinded by the rhetoric of politicians. Feelings, shared history, values, culture and traditions play no role at all in whether alliances really work. What matters is whether interests coincide. And it turns out that today the interests of Europe and the US are no longer compatible and this partnership will soon end.
Successful? What world are you living in? The US was anything but successful: - it lost all of East Europe - it lost Mainland China - it lost North Korea - it lost Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia - it lost Burma - it lost Pakistan and Afghanistan - it lost India for decades - it lost half of the Middle East and the Arab League for decades - it lost half of Africa (Egypt, Algier, Libya, Mali, Angola, Mocambique, Kenya, Somalia, Congo, Djibouti, Sudan, Uganda, Central African Republic) - it lost Cuba and most other Latin American countries - it lost most of the Pacific States - it lost the ANZUS Pact - it even lost on the home front (Hollywood, universities, California, New York). By the way: Europe is very close to a complete political and economic collapse. The threat is coming not only from the east, but now also from the south.
