Russia used that situation formed "Eastern Bloc" The Former USSR
USA & Europe got together 50 more years fought a "Cold War" with Ruissia the USSR
Europe even after rebuilding and establing their economies never invested in millitary infrastructure just assumed AMERICA got their backs.

We still shall probably but just asking European Union stay "Loyal" & contribute their "Fair Share" in Defense $pending
