You’d think the Europeans would come together and unite against the Muslim threat…but they’re too busy slaughtering each other.
Maybe I’m just a bad person, but I don’t think a single drop of American blood is worth spilling over Ukraine, Britain, Germany, etc.
While most Americans can trace at least some their lineage back to Europe, for whatever bizarre reason, those that remained on the continent just love killing each other.
Yeah, I know that tribes, kingdoms and empires from the Americas, to Asia, to Africa have historically waged war upon their literal next-door neighbors, but the Europeans have killing each other down to an art form.
Even during Europe’s Religious Wars, they were never wars of slash and burn. More often than not, it was a couple thousand guys on one side, a couple thousand on the other… whoever won the battle now ruled the greater metropolitan area.
But ever since the Napoleonic Wars to present day, just winning the battle isn’t good enough. Now it’s unequal parts of burn all the crops, kill all the livestock, erase non-combatants unlucky enough to meet face-to-face those on the winning side (and usually unlucky enough to meet those on the losing side).
Those are just a few reasons why I’m in favor of the notion that the United States needs to de-ratify our NATO treaty. Besides, the European Union is already standing up their own EU-only military.
If the Brits, Germans or French want to flex their non-existent military might against the Russians… go for it, have a ball, enjoy yourselves.
Just don’t expect Uncle Sam to show up with his nuclear umbrella to bail your asses out after shit-talking to the descendants of Vikings and Genghis Khan. Yeah… good luck with that.
Case in point: Decades ago, the British armed forces dismantled two-thirds of their nuclear deterrent platforms. No longer does the UK’s Ministry of Defence have operational nuclear-armed land-based missile and artillery units, as well as dedicated bomber squadrons armed with nuclear ordinance.
The British nuclear weapons platforms have been reduced to just four Trident-armed submarines (HMS Vanguard, Vengeance, Victorious and Vigilant).
By the way, Britain’s Royal Navy has more Admirals that operable offensive war-fighting ships.
But Prime Minister Kier Starmer’s floundering Labour government at least appears that playing the tough guy, so Britons won’t not pay attention to how the British nation is self-destructing.
As reported by Sam Creed of London’s TheSun.co.uk;
British fighter jets to carry nuclear weapons in face of ‘new era of threat’ of Russia
It comes as the Prime Minister is set to expand the UK’s nuclear deterrence across Europe.
Britain looks set to introduce jets armed with nuclear weapons for the first time as part of the latest defensive expansion against Russia.
The government is in talks with US officials over the move, which would be the UK’s biggest deterrent development since the Cold War.
BTW, the UK already has three squadrons of F-35 II Lightnings, which are nuclear-munitions capable.
Interestingly enough, Starmer is delusional enough to think he can beef up Britain’s armed forces on the cheap. Britain’s military might is simply a thing of the past.
First of all, because young British men see no reason to volunteer for a government that hates them.
Under both Labour and Tory governments, young English, Irish, Welsh and Scottish boys and men have been blamed for everything that ills society.
Honestly, who would want to fight and possibly die for the very people that despise you? I know I wouldn’t. But then again, I thank God every day that my ancestors waved goodbye to Europe a century-and-a-half ago.
But back to the topic at hand. In a separate article from TheSun.co.uk, in spite of Starmer vowing to make the UK’s military “ten times stronger”, the current pathetic state of their military is held together by shoestrings, spit-wads and 2.5 percent of the national GDP.
For whatever inexplainable reason, Starmer steadfastly refuses to increase the military budget. Never mind that the NATO Secretary General has opined that member-nations need to double their GDP percentage for the military to a whopping 5.0 percent, as reported on by DefenseNews.com;
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said this week he expects alliance members to agree to a 5% spending target in The Hague, with a proposal for 3.5% of GDP for direct military spending and another 1.5% for related spending such as infrastructure and cybersecurity.
