America's Europe Problem

What with President Trump blowing up the recently concluded G-7 summit in Canada, it is likely that the Europeans now know that Trump's 'Make America Great Again' rhetoric is not idle talk.

This is a shock for Europe, especially with the G-7 meeting coming soon after America's imposition of steel and aluminum tariffs and its withdrawal from the Obama-Iran nuclear deal.

It is hard for Europeans to believe that America is willing to depart from the script of the last 70 years.

I have ceased to listen to European complaints about U.S. trade policies - the EU famously has a GDP larger than that of the U.S. and European children are no longer picking through the rubble of a shattered post-bellum land for scraps of food. It has been a quarter century since the EU formalized and they are yet to produce a unified security arm. That's a lot of sliding.

But more than a penurious attitude toward collective defense is involved here. The cruel fact is that a sense of moral superiority counts for very little when action is called for, and the ability to craft a post-crisis narrative excusing inaction doesn't really help anyone but the idle spectators. "I could have done it better" is, after the virtue signalling is stripped out, "I didn't".

This is, as well, a Europe whose ruling class has openly attempted to alter its internal demographics in pursuit of a sustainable welfare state, a process that will only accelerate given the difference in reproduction rate between the natives and the newcomers. This can only be described as a fundamental alteration of the nation itself, whose citizens were never consulted about it and many of whom now view the activity with the alarm it deserved in the first place. It's probably already too late to rectify the matter - one generation in and they'll be attempting to deport the native-born. That was very much by design.

So there are issues of much greater significance than the price of Mercedes-Benz automobiles in Topeka. Europe is going to have to grow up, fast, and it didn't really have to be that way.

I’m of Northern European stock and thereby naturally accused of ‘racism’ but my view of darker peoples is nothing like the utter contempt of my own “people”

The people of Africa and the Americas were stone age people adapting to a”civilized world”
Our people have no such excuse and should act like modern civilised people.

So I say “F%ck (Western) Europe” and their Euro trash overlords.

We kicked their asses in every war we fought with them and by the grace of God and by Samuel Colt we will kick their ass in any future conflict.

(Thank God and President Trump, it feels good to be an American again)

(Yep, I’m feelin “froggy” this morning)

Actually, it goes back to 1939.

It goes a bit further than that. (Remember having to kick a Kaiser's "Hiney"in 1917)

Some can even claim with some truth to it that we got started in the Spanish American war or even with Jefferson's war with the Barbary pirates.

Seems Americans love a good scrap every generation or two.

Jolly good show. Jolly good!

Europe is Europe’s problem.
They have no legitimate military. That’s one of the main reasons they don’t want Britain to leave. Britain can’t even field two full divisions. A Carrier with no planes and 5 second rate destroyers is all that is left of Britain’s once great navy.
European Union is a wannabe state without an elected head or legilature, that refuses to audit itself. It is nothing but the.illicit gravytrain for fat car eruoweenies.
