“The Europeans are idiots, but if we let them develop a total Fascist state, it will go badly for us down the road.”
Then if it is our responsibility to stop this, and we are going to have to do it repeatedly, why not just annex them? Why allow them self-determination if we know we will have to keep coming back and cleaning up the consequences of that?
You are asking me questions to which I wish I had the answers. What's worse is i'm seeing European style stupidity making heavy growth in this country.
Sometimes you just have to step out of the way and watch the train wreck happen.
