    You know Europe could theoretically make peace with Russia and the US would munch their freedom fries around the globe on their own.

    We're counting on it.

    Yeah, I don't think they will start a war with the US. But they will certainly stop buying any crap from there starting yesterday.

      Why, they are Syrians, let them pay for their fucking mess. Might make the cunts calm down a bit when they see all that oil being shipped out.... :)

        Neither do I - that would just be dumb. I was commenting on your implication that if the US left the EU to take care of itself and they befriended Russia there would be "less war, more love". History tells us the opposite.

        Meh! The US has run a trade deficit with the EU for decades. It helps us economically if we start "rolling our own".

            It would be unfortunate but I'd prefer a trade war with the EU rather than continued lopsided US military expenditures (both lives and $) in their defense. Can you offer even a single rational reason why Europe shouldn't defend themselves?

                US lives expenditures defending the EU hellooooooo :) I don't think the EU will pay any US demands. If anything they may ask the US to pack and leave. We will see. Interesting times.

                  We helped instigate it. Nothing bad happens in the middle east without US involvement.

                        Nope, I've got nothing, zilch, zero, nill. Europe should put together a sizeable army, invest in their own military technologies and stop buying anything from the US.
