Europe, going off the deep end..

[ironglow]

  All the more reason we should be refusing their unbalanceed tariffs.  Why bother helping them go nuts?

  Europe has for all practical purposes, forgotten their struggles to get out from under a fake "aristocracy" which ruled them since the fall of Rome..
  Now they seem to be abandoning "the faith of their fathers', trading it for a "mess of pottage"..and embracing foreign gods.

  ..And it could happen here too...we likely just "doged the bullet", this past November.

Since the beginning of time Europe has always been a conglomoration of elitist aristocrat's. They have risen and fallen countless times and never gleaned enough usable common sense to avoid the repetitive cycle of failure.
Europe collectively worships kings,  queens,  and popes, totally void of common sense,  and God is no more than an "invalid side bar" to them.
TWICE we have saved Europe losing a combined total (WWI & WWII) of 521,000+ American soldiers fighting the German war-like rise and fall conquerors, whom wished  to  eradicate all three, and twice they have exhibited their ungratefulness and lack of comprehension.

Europe fell off the deep end centuries ago,  and continues to provide proof of that fact DAILY

 After WW2 left Europe devastated, we reached out to save them with the Marshall plan. A plan to TEMPORARILY aid them in reconstruction of their countries and economies.

  That required babying them economically, until they "got on their feet" !  ..But they became addicted to being pampered, and have carried on ripping
  us off since then..

   So every administration has gone along, pampering them sincd then...until the Trump administration, that is.. Now they can "pay the piper".
 
   Or at least Uncle Sam, that is !

just a bunch of commies hiding in plain sight pretending to be a democracy. i wouldnt doubt a bit the tarrifs push some ally with russia and china. for one they think more like them than us and add to that russia and china make them wet themselves and their elite class has more to gain by bending over than putting money into their defense that for the most part weve paid for for a half a century

There is a compelling argument that our “defense” of Europe was as much or more a defense of our own interests and well being as it was a defense of Europe.

sure it was, thats a no brainer. so what!! we still put our brave young men in the ground to fight their fight and still do today! but without us all of europe today would be speaking German and Japanese. that is if russia and china without the fear of us wouldnt have taken them for themselves by now. WE ARE NATO without us its a paper tiger!! .
