> "The most recent issue is the military question. Europe relied for decades on the "cheap" protection of the USA. Now the USA gave the middle finger to Europe and Europe acts shocked, but Europe is not so shocked when it comes to the military budget it did not spend on self defense during all the time the Americans provided protection."

Fully agree. Europe expects some kids from nowheresville Tennessee to die in a ditch defending Ukraine. The war will be over the second they need to draft 18 year-olds at scale from anywhere in western Europe to go defend "Europe". Nobody in France will die defending Poland, nobody in Greece will die defending Latvia. The EU is such a joke.

Nobody is expecting anyone from Tennessee, but I know that's what the likes of Musk are making you believe.

Good, because they're not coming. Send the blue-haired vegan gender dysmorphic battalions from Berlin instead.

It's okay, in Europe you don't need to fight extreme Islamism. You've fully embraced it.
