Germany funds its cradle to grave social welfare state on the backs of the US taxpayer. They literally thumb their nose at legitimate requests to pay a paltry 2% of GDP on defense.
America needs to leave the defense of Europe to the Europeans and focus on their own domestic infrastructure and social issues.
Let that fat sow Merkel worry about the Russians.
Consider how radical the Europhiles are. They were all about rule-by-crisis long before their toady Obama tried to transfer that here. The influx of the Mahometans is exactly for the purpose of having the people demand a big “change” to the system, which won’t be change but acceleration of the ambitions of those Europhiles. Removing our presence from Europe wholly would merely help that along.
And saying “Europeans” lends legitimacy to the notion of the EU. From its beginning, the notion of a united Europe under German dominance was always with an anti-American bent; nothing’s changed since those early days.
They are not worried about the Russians one bit. The Nord Stream affair is the present-day equivalent of Molotov-Ribbentrop.
