#1 Yes! It's about time! Cut them loose, they are well able to defend themselves without America paying for it all. They are wealthy countries.

The sooner we bring a halt to globalism i.e. world mafia enforcer, the better off Americans will be. Imagine spending all the saved money on ourselves instead.

#2 Thank you. For 70 years our troops have had to endure seeing your women's unshaved arm pits.

#3 Military welfare state is as bad for countries as an economic welfare state is for citizens.

#6 And they are going to invest in the logistical infrastructure to support global action, when? The US isn't investing enough and they leech off of our efforts.
So, fine! Stop barking from the porch and jump out there in the street, Dawg!

#7 Did George Wills get $1,000,000 and credits for pointed use of his Never-Trump Thesaurus/vocabulary thingy? That's not normal stuff. It sounds like Mr. Wills moved to Belgium.

#8 It's time to go to bed here in China. I'll leave all comments on 'how to endow Europe' to my bigger brothers and sisters.

#9 Yeah... good luck with that. You idiots don't have enough divisions between you to invade anywhere important, no heavy lifting or transport capability, barely enough air power to protect your capital and no navy to speak of.

#10 Well, they can all fight amongst themselves. I mean, they've done it for centuries. Why stop now?

#11 "Do we accept that the United States is the economic gendarme of the planet? The answer is no,"
"Do we accept the vassalization of Europe in commercial matters? The answer is no;"
"do we accept extraterritorial sanctions? The answer is no."
"Do we continue to accept US foreign aid in all of it's many manifestations? Uhm, well,...ahem...for the children?"

#13 US has been waiting Europe to step up to the plate and help police the mess their colonialism made of much of the world, and now they act like they are only doing it because of US overreach? Nice.

#15 Vassals pay tribute. I'll take my free Renault now. I understand that while scrap prices are low, the amount of materials in a car should fetch me a few hundred bucks, at the very least.
