Here’s how iPINIONS thinks EU leaders should respond:
Sure, Don TACO, just like you’re “considering” invading Iran. You launched this war without consulting us, demanded we bleed for it, and now you’re throwing a tantrum because we said no? NATO is a defense alliance, not your foreign legion. You’re acting like a spoiled kid threatening to grab his marbles and go home. After 9/11, Europe answered with European blood. So spare us the loyalty tests, especially while proving Europe cannot depend on America under your leadership. Withdrawing US troops would not just make Europe less safe. It would endanger American national security too.
America was here for WWII. It will need to be here for WWIII. Germany once had the world’s strongest military. Now, with German leadership, Europe is building one that can rival both yours and China’s. So go ahead, pick up your marbles. But the American people should know that Europe will be ready and willing when the next US president calls.
