How Europe Paid For America's Wars | The Cost of the Iraq & Afghanistan Wars
Europe’s role in America's forever wars has been enormous — yet rarely acknowledged, particularly by the current administration which seems all too keen to keep repeating that Europe doesn't pay enough.
In this deep dive, we uncover the real cost of the Iraq War, Afghanistan War, and Gulf War — not for the U.S., but for its European NATO allies who spent hundreds of billions of euros, lost thousands of soldiers, and have faced decades of political and social fallout.
How much European countries like the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Spain, Denmark, and the Netherlands spent supporting American wars.
How the war in Iraq and collapse of Iraq and Syria led directly to the rise of ISIS and the largest migration crisis in Europe since World War II.
How countries like Germany, Sweden, and France absorbed millions of refugees, and the staggering societal and economic costs that followed.
Why the narrative that "Europe doesn’t spend enough on defense" ignores the massive sacrifices Europe made in America’s wars.
How mass migration, terrorism, and political shifts to the right across Europe were fueled by wars started thousands of kilometers away by the US.
🔹 Specific topics covered:
European military spending during the Gulf War (1990-1991)
European casualties and financial costs in the Iraq War (2003–2011)
The massive European deployment to Afghanistan (2001–2021)
The cost of refugee integration for Germany, Sweden, and France
How the 2015 refugee crisis reshaped Europe’s political map
