Remember when the Soviet threat of nuclear holocaust loomed over Europe? And the U.S.A. was Europe's dearest friend?

And then the Americans finally eliminated the Soviet threat? And all of Europe breathed a sigh of relief?

And suddenly the Americans couldn't get Europe on the phone?

And then they found out that not only did the Europeans considered the Americans a bunch of tasteless, upstart, parvenu bumpkins, which everybody knew they had considered the Americans to be all along, but that they also considered the U.S.A. to be the Great Satan?

Do you suppose that, if the Ghost of the Soviet Union should return and reestablish itself, with its vast and unpredictable nuclear arsenal, the U.S.A. will once again become Europe's dearest friend? And the Americans will once again become charming, if naive, bumpkins?

I was thinking the same thing...

It is time the world learned how tough life is without America guarding their sleeping children.

You pose some interesting questions, but if Europe cannot see the threat that exists from terrorism, what makes you think they'd feel differently about a challenge from Russia?

Exactly! I can only hope that the USA will still be our closest ally if that scenario materialises. I have a feeling that the bond across the Atlantic is so strong that anti-American european socialists cannot easily destroy it, but there is a threat that the American “spirit” in this matter: - the will do defend Europe - will vanish as the decades pass by and the socialists/anti-Americans fail to recognise,- and give gratitude to - USA as the sole stabilisator in the world today.

This is the biggest reason why I consider norwegian socialists to be my enemy: they are a danger to Norway’s security and the good, brotherly relation Norway should have with USA, both the American people as well as the American government.

Socialists are unrealistic and ungrateful piss-ants! Always have been, always will!
