His pause and his face after she pressed him say the opposite.

All this talk about the weapons to defend themselves against a Russian attack...

Morons still don't realize their biggest threat of defeat is from Muslim immigration.

These would all be shot down within 3 months if a conflict of attrition, I guess they don’t have to worry about losing trained personnel to operate them. Good for Europe

Great news. We can move all our troops out of there and stop funding European defense.

That's back when Finland was comprised of Finnish people. Not so much now, like all of Western Europe and the Scandinavian countries....

With zero US intervention, all of Europe would fall in less than a month to anyone with even a half-arse military.


Most have already fallen. UK, Germany, France. None of these figure heads are in control of anything. British culture is now Muslim rape. That's what they are known for, oh and jailing anyone that talks bad about the Muslim raping of citizens.

Without us they would be forced to more responsible, to build their own armed forces up. And to do this they would have to cut back on their expensive social safety nets. Europe is like a twenty-something who is still living with his parents. It might seem like he can’t survive if they stopped supporting him, but the opposite is true; he would do better that way.

That assumes there would be time for that. We’ve been trying to get them there since WWII. The only way they will is to cut them off cold turkey and Chyna will be there with quickness.

They held them off for a little while, then got their shite pushed in. They lost land in the continuation war and had to pay a massive fortune to stay independent.
