For a very long time, conservatives here in the USA have said that Europe should bear the burden of their own defense. They should pay the bills and they should have their own army (or armies).
EUROPE DEFINITELY needs to defend itself, pay for it themselves and have their OWN ARMY!!
The USA does not need to pay for Europe’s defense and it does not need to have US soldiers doing a job that they should do for themselves!!
I CANNOT OVER-EMPHASIZE THAT, no matter how strongly I put it or how many times I repeat it. It CANNOT be over-emphasized!!
They aren’t conservatives. I do not care what they call themselves.
And ever since WWII, the USA agreed to foot Europe’s defense as the main method of preventing old empires on that continent from rising again. Of course, the liberals helped along the European Union, which is just another form of one of those old empires, and it will not be to our benefit one whit, especially if they get a unified military.
