Those slave nations are now free nations, and part of our NATO defensive military alliance.
Because of OBAMA, our military is a “GHOST” of it once was. We are in debt to the tune of 18 trillion. The European nations doesn’t have the military to fight the Russian jaugernaut. Unless we use nuclear, and I don’t think we will. Don’t forget, China is just lurking in the Pacific, waiting for us to get involved in another European war. This is like the 1930’s all over again, except in the 1930’s we were not in debt as we are today. So, unless we have a “SECRET WEAPON” that will end the start of WW3, we will be in for one hell of a generation or two.
