We actually see ourselves as having a responsibility to do what’s right. But we have our limits.
At some point we will simply go back to our pre-1945 position, write Europe off, and look out solely for number one.
Russia is feeling a bit frisky, but I’m sure that’s no concern to Western Europe, let Eastern Europe worry about it for now. If Western Europeans are so certain that they don’t need or desire American assistance, I for one would be happy to dissolve NATO. You shouldn’t be forced to endure American heavy handedness one minute more.
although you may not believe it, im an atlanticist. NATO is a crucial part of our collective security, and i do concede it is dissapointing seeing some alliance members unwilling to pull their share.
