    The EU weasels are just worried that they may actually need to participate in their own defense. The horror!

    Yup, they take the unhinged moron in the white house quite seriously ["United we stand, divided we fall": letter by President Donald Tusk to the 27 EU heads of state or government on the future of the EU before the Malta summit - Consilium](http://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2017/01/31-tusk-letter-future-europe/)

      They should because us "unhinged morons" who elected the White House inhabitant are tired of providing military defense to a continent of ungrateful nanny states whose citizens constantly blame the US for every ill of the world. It's past time they look after themselves.

        You know Europe could theoretically make peace with Russia and the US would munch their freedom fries around the globe on their own. Less war more love, sounds good to me.

              What, you mean he has actually done what I have been saying is the way ahead, safe zones in and around Syria protected by the UN? What next, fund them through Syrian oil sales? :)

                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.... :)

                  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.

                      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.

                                      I asked:

                                      Can you offer even a single rational reason why Europe shouldn't defend themselves?

                                      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.

                                          This is what's called "Draining the Swamp". So, yes we all can take it. Go Trump!
