Ok, so let me once more repeat what I said and what has caused so much laughter from your side: "During the Cold War era, Western Europe was crying to save it from the USSR, hence the NATO, the bases, and the financial dependency of the entire world on the US to mutually maintain the whole thing." The Western Europe was more afraid of the USSR than the US. It was actually Western Europe which catalyzed the Cold War. That process ultimately culminated in the Berlin Crisis. But, then the Caribbean Crisis broke out which made the US become more and more afraid for its own security.
