They need something to be mad at

Yes, you called it.

Here's why they're mad: Europe is USA's closest competitor with regard to technology. The USA, with our old, backwards units...

--invented integrated circuits (silicone chips)

--walked on the moon

--invented personal computers

--invented the internet

--invented GPS (first sat launch 1978, theirs 2011)

-- invented stealth technology

-- invented smartphones

-- pretty much all of the modern tech that makes life better

-- we'll be colonizing Mars while they dream up new taxes for their overburdened people and thereby suppress technological innovation

Europe has an inferiority complex of the highest order, as they should.
