We don't need to put missile interceptors in Europe to protect us, we need them there to protect Europe.
We are the worlds police force, be we don't get to tax the world for the safety we provide. The token armies that most countries have are a joke that would be swept aside in hours if they faced a real threat.
“We are the worlds police force”
- True, in many ways.
“..we don’t get to tax the world for the safety we provide”
- True indeed.
“The token armies that most countries have are a joke that would be swept aside in hours if they faced a real threat.”
- I beg to differ.
My country, Sweden, could erase a nation like Iran out of World maps by making full use of the means at our disposal.
They couldn’t exactly sneak up the shores of our home waters and annihilate our capital.
But we could do that to them..
