- mannyv 2mo agoThis is exactly why Europe needs the US. Europeans don't realize the world is a dangerous place because the US deals with it. Europeans don't have to get their hands dirty and they can continue to believe in their moral superiority. Was Europe planning to do anything about ISIS? Not really. Syria? Iraq? The USSR? Russia? Serbia? Not really. They let Dad take care of it while they whined and played in their sandbox. In the end Europe will rot and collapse from within, the way the Ottoman Empire did.
