I don’t really know what you mean, nor why we would selectively exclude the most important war which requires the most contributions from any nation, but regardless past actions don’t guarantee future actions.
But let’s take a step back - I specifically mentioned Spain, Portugal, and Switzerland. I didn’t say France or the United Kingdom wouldn’t fight alongside the United States, for example. So let’s not lump all European countries together unfairly.
- jacquesm 1y ago> I don’t really know what you mean That's ok. > nor why we would selectively exclude the most important war which requires the most contributions from any nation Because the United States from back then is completely gone now. All that's left is people who had nothing to do with it claiming the heritage while acting in the opposite spirit. > But let’s take a step back - I specifically mentioned Spain, Portugal, and Switzerland. I didn’t say France or the United Kingdom wouldn’t fight alongside the United States, for example. Switzerland shouldn't even be in that list and Spain and Portugal are just about able to stay afloat, a little bit ahead of Italy, Romania and Bulgaria on some dimensions and at party on others. > So let’s not lump all European countries together unfairly. No, let's not.
- ericmay 1y ago> Because the United States from back then is completely gone now. Aaaand Europe from then is different too? Poor argument. > Switzerland shouldn't even be in that list and Spain and Portugal are just about able to stay afloat, a little bit ahead of Italy, Romania and Bulgaria on some dimensions and at party on others. Please do us a favor and read the OP. I didn’t bring up Switzerland, I responded to the OP. > No, let's not. So don’t do it?
