People not defending their nation become emasculated. I think that's a big reason for the snooty attitude toward Americans in many places.
Let's let these people be grown adults and defend their own land, assuming they have the resources.
The main reason for "snooty attitude" against Americans comes from
Communist propaganda in Europe. I know, I've been all over Europe when stationed in the U.S military. Probably the biggest snobs against Americans that I ran into was in London. You can have it. But the peoples outside of London in the rural areas were just like being at home in the U.S.
The Communists are strong in all nations in western Europe, not just Eastern Europe.
When I was in Spain, on the Communist's May Day celebrations, if they saw any car with tourist license plates on it, they demolished it, some of them turning the cars over and setting them on fire. They rioted in the streets.
Spain historically has had a terrible history with Communism. In 1936 a Communist government was elected (supposedly) in Madrid, and the Spanish Communist leaders began working against Spain's royals and the Catholic Church. The Spanish Communist government was called a Republic, and was supported by Joseph Stalin in Moscow, Russia. Spanish military General Francisco Franco was a strong supporter of Spain's royal family, and the Church, so the leaders had assigned him to a post in Morocco, Africa, out of the way they thought. He balked, and formed an army and made an alliance with Fascists Mussolini and Hitler, who sent him military aid. Hitler and Mussolini were strong anti-Communists.
Thus the Spanish Civil War was actually a battle between World Communism and the Free nations (regardless that Hitler and Mussolini as Fascists were involved. And NO, I in no way support those like Hitler and Mussolini). The reality is that if Franco had not gotten support from the Fascists, Spain today would be a Communist nation like Cuba, or Vietnam, or North Korea, right smack in the backyard of Free western Europe. American Leftists like Ernest Hemingway volunteered to go to Spain then, and supported the Spanish Republican Communists, of which he wrote his novel about those Communists in his book
For Whom The Bell Tolls.
In Italy, there have been several assassination attempts on Catholic popes by the Communists.
Per ex-KGB colonel Golitsyn that defected to the United States in the 1960's, in his 1984 book
New Lies For Old, he said the Russian Communist's long range strategy for Europe was a one-Socialist Europe from the Russian Ural mountains to the Atlantic ocean. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) still stands in their way of accomplishing that. But the creation of the European Union was a good start towards Communist control of western Europe. This is most likely why after the Communists allowed the Berlin Wall to come down, Eastern European nations started petitioning to join NATO. This is actually what one of today's battles between Communist Russia and Ukraine and Georgia is about. Ukraine and Georgia want to join NATO. With both of those countries on Russia's southern border, Russia has moved in tanks and troops to show those nations that Russia still owns and controls them. Ex-Georgetown history professor Carrol Quigley in his 1960's book
Tragedy and Hope, revealed that after WWII, Communist Russia and the U.S. and its allies made an agreement about border nations around the Soviet Union, that those nations (like Georgia, Ukraine, etc.) would serve as "shadow" states isolating Russia from the Free nations.
Thus we, the people of the United States, still have a duty to help the Free nations defend themselves from World Communism. The new F-35 Lightening fighter built by Lockheed is given to each nation in the NATO alliance, and the Communists don't have anything that even comes close to it. It's too bad things like that are still needed, since Leftists love to push the lie that World Communism is now dead, when it definitely is not dead.
