Explain to us how it’s a problem we should deal with using our blood and treasure?
That entire AO had it’s chance and screwed the pooch.
Western Europe under cut us and back stabbed us at every opportunity too.
If the people of the EU are so concerned about it, let them spend their own blood and treasure. Each of the countries in the EU claim to have decently sized military forces.
Mount up or shut up. That’s the only response we should have.
I know. Ignorance is bliss. The usual way for strongmen to retain power is to commit atrocities that cause their US and Russian allies and proxies to disavow them, give in accede to international condemnation and execute ARCLIGHT raids on you principal military headquarters and presidential palaces.
Its a surefire technique that works every time!
