Europe Can Buzz Right Off
Townhall ^ | August 15, 2024 | Kurt Schlichter

Posted on 08/16/2024 9:20:51 PM PDT by chickenlips

Great work, Europe. No really, you’re doing fine. You’ve got British toadies threatening to extradite American citizens for speaking freely and some dork at the European Union threatening an American citizen for daring to have an online interview with one of America’s two major party presidential candidates. That’s going to go over well. Good thinking because Europe can sure afford to alienate the members of one of America’s two political parties.

The Russians are coming? Hey, sounds like a personal problem, Monsieur Pierre Le Beau and Sir Adrian Wellington Smythe-Grimbsy. Turn off the Eurovision Song Contest and go fight your own damn wars. Or just submit. You have more in common with the Bear than America nowadays. You both arrest people for speaking freely.

The United States and its alleged European allies used to have something in common. Now, the Euros are decrepit subjects oppressing their own native citizenry for the ruling clique to retain power, and Americans are proud and free citizens who refuse to kneel with the guns to make sure we never have to. There’s a big disconnect between us and them, or rather between us and their globalist ruling class that has zero interest in actual democracy. Europeans can submit like sniveling, craven serfs. Not us – and don’t call us to bail you out again either.

I think Schlichter is on to them.

Our only role in NATO should be selling them arms, cash and carry.

I don’t know, not is probably the answer, but did the Harris-Biden Regime comment on the UK threat to us?

They’ve gotten fat and soft. They got the peace dividend. We didn’t. They’re just a pack of deadbeat moochers.

On his current non-royal tour of Columbia, Prince Harry was quoted as saying, “ ....social cohesion as we know it has completely broken down.”

Will EU muppet Breton extradite the Prince for hate speech, too? Or is he just pointing fingers at Americans?

The UK police are threatening to arrest citizens of other countries for saying naughty things. And they’re threatening to arrest their own citizens for just watching an anti-government protest.

Where’s Oliver Cromwell when you need him?

The elite of Europe are reminding us why our ancestors fled their rule.

Yes, they need us more than we need them. What would they do if we pulled all troops, resources, and infrastructure from Europe?

“I think Schlichter is on to them.”

Good Point.

Schlichter has a fair amount of “The Bee” in him.

Entertaining, as usual.

Well, then the US MIC would be unable to scream about a Russian bogeyman to them, and they would probably get along with Putin or whoever held office over there, and end up buying natural gas from the Russians again.

And that would make us very, very angry for losing a business opportunity.

What concerns me is all these nations being taken over by different “cultures”. How many of them have nukes? I mean, you don’t just throw them in the trash can as you are pushed out of your country. God help us.

We are not so different from the UK. They prosecute people for spreading “hate”. We prosecute and jail grandma’s for peacefully praying outside an abortion clinic or “parading” inside the Capitol. At least they haven’t prosecuted a politician for running against the incumbent. I like Kurt but he is looking at the speck in the UK’s eye while ignoring the log in ours.

Well good luck getting the republicans to stop funding the two pipeline wars Syria and Ukraine.

My oldest lives in the Netherlands with his Dutch wife. She was complaining because gas is 8 dollars a gallon. If they drive 45 minutes they are not even in their own country…. So I honestly told them that. I mean, they barely drive but 20 minutes max to work.
I told them to think about stopping these two wars and letting Russia supply their gas again. She confirmed they do get it all from Russia.
And they should stop supporting the green agenda.
Maybe a European is waking up.
Her visit here, which I tried to prepare her for, was shocking. Driving four hours in the same state, speaking the same language.
Yet at work, I hear how great Europe is because Tim tok said so.
I asked them if the person showed them their closet… for a reality check, if they have one, it’s 1/5 the size because they can’t afford clothing like we do.

In Europe, only two countries have nukes -- the UK and France, for a total of circa 500 nukes between them.
France and Britain are roughly equal in population (68 million each) and economy (GDPs of $4 trillion each).

  1. France is 85% white, with nearly all of the rest being Algerians and other Africans, most of whom are Muslims.

  2. The UK, Britain, is 92% white, with 5% Asians, mostly Indians & Pakistanis, and the rest from many different countries.
As in the US, the dominant "white culture" has bent over backwards to seem more "inclusive" and less "racist", with one result that they sometimes seem unable to defend even their most basic civic values.

I seriously doubt if this "temporary insanity" is permanent, and am nearly certain that, hopefully as in the US, sanity and common sense will eventually reassert itself and put things right again.

In the meantime, I don't think French or British nukes are in any danger.

From the article: "The Russians are coming?
Hey, sounds like a personal problem, Monsieur Pierre Le Beau and Sir Adrian Wellington Smythe-Grimbsy.
Turn off the Eurovision Song Contest and go fight your own damn wars.
Or just submit.

This kind of talk is hyperbolic, sarcastic and fundamentally untrue, though some will take it seriously.

The truth is that Russians have now reverted to their historical norms (i.e., Peter the Great, Joseph Stalin) after a brief "fling" with western style democratic ideas.
Russians are now acting, or at least pretending to be, as dangerous to the West as they were during the Cold War.

This forces Europeans to readjust their thinking and defense postures, with one result that NATO is hugely strengthened.
For example: in 2014 only three NATO European countries spent even 2% of GDP on defense, today 23 of 32 countries do -- some spend even more on defense as a percent of GDP than the US, around 3.5%.
Non-US NATO countries combined now spend about half on defense that the US does, up from 25% a few years ago.

Some 50 countries have sent aid to Ukraine and of the total, the US share is roughly 1/3.
If the war in Ukraine continues, then US share of contributions will fall to around 20% as other European countries ramp up their own militaries and military production.

Today there is simply no doubt that Europeans must provide the majority of support for Ukrainians, as the US works to organize allies in the Middle East and Indo-Pacific against:

The New Axis of Evil Dictators --
Russia's Vlad the Invader, Belarus' Annexed Lukashenko, CCP's Xi-snake, Iran's Moolah Mullahs and NoKo's Little Kim.

I know I’m repeating a point made in the op-ed, but didn’t our troops die in WWII to destroy regimes like this?
