It looks like Europe wants to “go it alone” this next time instead of being rescued by the U.S.A. as before. Or more likely, Europe is repeating its jealous spite of us again while presuming that we’ll come to the rescue unconditionally.
If we in the U.S.A. were attacked by large, foreign adversaries now, would Europe give hundreds of thousands of its young men, years of hard work and much of its wealth to our rescue? I doubt it.
Maybe it is time to reconsider our alliances. PM May and Chancellor Merkel already challenged our alliances with the nations ruled by them and their anti-western kind. Maybe we should start there.
The last time, we had war declared on us. Wasn’t a case of rescue, but putting an enemy down.
You would be right in presuming that the EU would not come to our aid if attacked. I would go further and presume they would join in the attack, though; their sentiments of late are filled with this notion. I would not count Britain among them, though; they already regard Britain as their enemy after the vote to leave (I don’t like their newspeak term “Brexit”). The one thing I really don’t like about the EU is their two-faced demeanor towards Israel.
