Why does it have to be the American men and women getting killed? Russia is never going to cross the ocean and attack us, and if they did they would never win. Why can't the EU defend itself? It ought to be strong enough. If the EU is sustainable it should be able to defend itself without outsourcing 95% of its defense to a foreign power across an ocean. I get that they were weak after WWII but for crying out loud they've had 70 years to recover from that.
As an American, I am sick and tired of my nation getting involved in foreign wars because "it's the right thing to do."

- SllX 5y agoIf it expands beyond Ukraine any further westward it will be immediately NATO’s and the EU’s problem.
- actuator 5y agoOh, this is more on the European nations definitely. Outsourcing their defense to US and being so weak that they can't even do sanctions properly because they need to buy that sweet gas from them.
- kevin_thibedeau 5y agoThe EU sat on it's thumbs while Milosevic ran another mass extermination campaign in europe until the US stepped in. They will never take a proactive stance on their own initiative.
