                                       US Fades Away in Europe

I’m not persuaded that American troops on European soil (after 1989) makes sense for the United States.  Between the proposed European Security Force and NATO, which alone fields 2.3 million active duty troops, and another 3.04 million reservists, no son or daughter or America should be at risk. Why any American personnel should perch atop the pile of skulls created by these countries, and stand in the way of their urge to do it again, is preposterous.

If Russia is the chief military threat to Europe, let Europeans deal with it.  If they subserve to the Russians, who are themselves in a state of hypermortality and decay, they all deserve what they get.

NATO itself can also go to hell.  NATO’s performance in Afghanistan is thin and timid.  In the European backyard it’s simply a pretense for Americans to stand up to…or annoy…Russia (depending upon your viewpoint) with Europe looking over our shoulders.

Note this remark from a New Zealander I encountered on the Internet a while ago. “We [New Zealanders] should stay out of everything. If the balloon goes up, the Americans will  take care of it.” 

Screw him.  Time to worry about ourselves.  No American blood or treasure for this bunch of rotters.

The world is getting a taste of war. Not the lawyer kind the US Army is forced to fight, where combatants pretend to be civilians, where churches, mosques and schools are protected armories and our troops have to come under fire before locking and loading.

No, it’s the other kind of war, which our enemies fight. The one where tanks blow holes in homes and kill anything moving in front of them. So what if the tanks grind the bodies to burger as they punch forward for more blood.
This is the kind of war where the bombs are dropped on the towns, then the civilian deaths are blamed on the other side. Why not, the ACLU, Code Pink, the assorted other goofy lefties are not going to speak out on this carnage because the good guys are doing it!
An enormous lack of feck on the part of the anti-war crowd.

What have you heard from the MSM about this civilian slaughter? Yeah, they dropped some bombs. No screaming ledes like Women and children targeted, collateral damage extremely high from Russian attacks. Tanks shell homes as families flee. Where are those grabbers?

Is Obama looking back at a powerful USSR as the time of everything good? When this country was in a struggle with evil? We know the past eight years are not the time, for he has so said. He wasn’t around for the Great Depression so that era is out also.

Obama never has spoken to how well the Iron Curtain worked to keep the western people from rushing in to luxuriate in that splendid socialist state, the USSR. Recreation of those rosy years will contain the wonders like “The Ministry for State security” food shortages, gulags, Trabants, pollution, worthless money, internal passports, and state TV. Many more hearts desires too, I’m sure.

Solzhenitsyn can start spinning in his grave while he’s still fresh.
