    How long before our friends in Europe suit up, like we did nearly 100 years ago, land on our shores and help us eradicate the world of Nazis once and for all?

    We never should have let that symbol or acting like one be nothing short of a lengthy prison term or worse after we declared Victory.

      Nukes. Europe will never liberate us. We have nukes. And drone strikes. Raiding the shore of the USA would be an act of war, and the response to a nation-ending threat like that fr a nation with nukes is Mutually Assured Destruction.

      I’ll also note that the whole world right now is trending towards Fascism; So support for a War with the USA is unlikely. Wars always suck; and there’s a good portion of every European nation who would want the USA to win, who could leverage the impact of war to breed discontent.

        Well, the people in charge of maintaining the nukes are all furloughed indefinitely so pretty soon the nuclear threat of the USA will be similar to that of Russia.

        As soon as the republicans finish consolidating their power in the US they will turn outward, maybe Canada,maybe mexico but Europe is not out of reach, flexing the military muscle, using the Russian playbook of propaganda and dissent they could easily create puppet governments… already the right wing parties are influencing the EU to drop regulations on chemical and other industries

        Don’t exaggerate it hasn’t been that long. Imagine if we had felt this indifference in the 1940’s. No, our friends in Europe know that this is their problem, too, both abroad and at home.
