I really have mixed emotions on this. I appreciate your comments however we have navsats around the globe and intercept aircraft and missile’s for any long ride here.
I think europe should pay for its own defense - they have not and want the american taxpayer to pay for them.
There is nothing stoping either country from buying and implementing their own defense.
navsats, and fighters with missiles are useless against an ICBM. Obama was owned, plain and simple. This wasnt a defense of Europe game. It was only about defending DC and NYC.
Also, our best most solid allies are the eastern Euros. They went out on a limb for us, despite heavy pressure from Russia. So we leave em hanging for nothing in return. Going to be fun next time we need to talk them into something. Obama isn’t some defense maven, he is an anti-defense communist, and this decision of his fits that template.
