#1 Up until recently, there has been no incentive for Europe (or South Korea, for that matter) to discontinue its freeloading of American military forces for protection. It is tolerating the American presence as a kind of 'stupid muscle' that is serving a master's greater needs: enhancing its self-important image and providing cover for the FANTASY that it has a better way to solve problems than by using military force to confront evil. Europe thinks it's funny that we even believe in such a thing as evil acts or bad guys. Of course, with others defending it, it has had little incentive to acknowledge that you have to fight (or flee) when confronted by predators-little incentive, that is, until now. Let's see, Grasshopper, whether you remember the life lesson of survival of the fittest.
