Anders home of Denmark should join with it’s fellow Germanic tribes, Latinos and Gauls of Europe to make his dream a reality.

But it is most certainly not in US interests to do so.

And while they are at it, they can pay up!

Maybe EU should “ up its sanctions” and send its army to cruise the beaches off Crimea

Oh wait

This sounds like an example from Eric Berne’s “Games People Play” named “Let’s you and him fight.”

When your enemies are in a long protracted war - best to stay out of the way.

There are no good guys there..

Yeah, like they might push us out of Manas AFB in Kyrgyzstan; they might rip off a hunk of Ukraine despite their treaty to respect that nation’s territorial integrity; they might provide arms and intel to the Taliban; they might send their planes to buzz or ships; they might send their planes to buzz Ireland’s airspace; they might send their submarines into Sweden’s territorial waters; they might create with their puppet Assad a humanitarian disaster in Syria to prop up their dictator; they might launch a propaganda campaign against the USA and support every far left and far right group in Europe to undermine those nations; and they might station nuclear-capable missiles in Kaliningrad to threaten the Baltic nations and Poland. I mean they might do all of these things. But wait, they already have. We better do what president for life putin wants.

All minor stuff.

Try fomenting as civil war in Estonia and toppling the pro-western Government (Estonia is 40% ethnic Russia). Kinda like America did in the Ukraine.

Or giving sophisticated SAMs to the Taliban which can successfully knock our planes out of the sky (And thus we lose the war). Kinda like America did in the 1980s there.

Or fomenting an “Arab Spring” in Saudi Arabia toppling the regime there. Kinda like America did in multiple places

And I could go on.

Do YOU REALLY TRUST this idiot former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen for this NOT to get out of hand? Think HARD.

Your equating the Soviet Union with the putinstan is precious. Keep up the good work.

Mom’s been gone for 28 years, but you win the cliche of the day comeback.
