This is correct. Europe as a whole got way, way too complacent after WWII by letting the US essentially oversee security for the whole continent instead of investing in their own. They simply naively believed that the US woud sincerely be looking out for their best interests forever and ever and ever amen, and never considered that the US would never be led by a corrupt megalomaniac with no understanding of the world around him. They are paying for that now.
