“We should withdraw our troops from Europe post-haste. We’ve been doing nothing more or less than subsidizing Europe. They’ve had the luxury of spending their tax monies on all sorts of social welfare, because they have not had to pay for their own defense. If we withdraw and pull that money back home, the EU won’t be quite so high-handed with us - because they’ll have to make some hard choices.”
Excellent point, and one I’ve pointed out to my Dutch brother-in-law for some time. It’s easy to condemn others for military action when you haven’t a clue about defense.
The only thing that would concern me is the possibility of war breaking out eventually....perhaps the formation of the EU would prevent this....or would the centralized government actually make things worse if they were left to their own defense? IDK....
War is going to break out in Europe soon, and it will be a war of Islam vs. the socialist twinks running the place. Unless we want to be in the middle of that, we ought leave.
Either the Europeans will decide that they prefer life to their high-sounding ideals, or they’ll be killed en masse. If we try to stop the Muslims from taking over, we’ll be stabbed in the back by the Europeans. If we allow the Muslims to take over and kill the Europeans, then we’ll have a clear field of fire where we can kill them without recrimination from socialist twinks and academic pecksniffs.
