A dear friend from Scotland puts it this way: Why should we build _____(military hardware such as Submarines?) The Americans will do it for us!
How about this? “We are so sick and tired of having the USA protect us that we are willing to provoke you suckers into kicking our asses, financially or letting the Russians kick our asses into the 22nd Century.
I submit that we should let this happen!
Suicide is a nasty thing to witness.
Hey Scottie. We’ll build it
You just pay for it
And they seem to forget that if Russia or whomever was to attack, they would be the first line of “defense”. Sure, go ahead, tell us to leave-we’ll be able to spend that “peace dividend” on our own people, or build up defenses in more friendly, strategic regions, while Europe will have to fight on two fronts-foreign, against invaders, and domestic, their own people who had gotten used to cradle-to-grave welfare.
