The last time, we had war declared on us. Wasn’t a case of rescue, but putting an enemy down.
You would be right in presuming that the EU would not come to our aid if attacked. I would go further and presume they would join in the attack, though; their sentiments of late are filled with this notion. I would not count Britain among them, though; they already regard Britain as their enemy after the vote to leave (I don’t like their newspeak term “Brexit”). The one thing I really don’t like about the EU is their two-faced demeanor towards Israel.
It appears that Britain will not cooperate at all, unless we have someone like Hillary as our president. Even then, they will join us with nothing less than our participation toward conquering some sort of empire economically or otherwise with their leaders in charge (word from some members of the Royal Society of Arts: the political class). They tend to demand that we help them to overwhelm and enslave their closest European neighbors and taking from third world slave nations. They want empire.
And they can be absolutely stubborn. If we disagree with one of them, we then hear some rather bizarre accusations about our intentions and history. Try telling them that we don’t like empire and will have nothing to do with it. They’re incapable of believing that.
Look at their shocking social situation. We have enough of a sad social situation of our own to remedy, if we want to continue to live as a people tomorrow. In my opinion, the best that we can do is to set a good example. Europe, again as in the past, not wanting to be proven wrong, might at least try to follow. And for that, we need to continue to support candidates who will to take us in the right direction: back to the future.
Our forefathers knew best, and therefore, father knows best.
