If the US only holds its economic ground at gunpoint I don't feel justified living my dainty American lifestyle thanks to boots to the throat of peoples around the world.
Europe endures and prospers without threat of violence or economic imperialism by bomb across the globe.

- oAlbe 7y agoRight. Just leave those refugees to cook under the sun in an overcrowded, broken down boat in the Mediterranean until they drown. Or be like Hungary: raise a fence on the border, with armed personnel at checkpoints, and hope that shooting people on sight becomes ethically accepted. What's wrong with you people.
- Fjolsvith 7y agoWhat's wrong with the refugees? Why can't they fix their own country instead of messing up other ones?
- andonisus 7y agoThe U.S. ensures the safe maritime trade of goods and services around the world. Many European counties do not need to (heavily) invest in their own armed forces because the U.S. is able to provide the necessary protection. These reasons are why I made my previous claim.
