#1 Go for it, Europe.

It's exactly what you deserve.

At the same time, if your ~~idiot elite~~ "leaders" ~~who know what's best for you~~ go for this, for your own safety and liberty ~~not to mention your wallets~~ may I propose that all European Rantburgers emigrate to the U.S.?

I'm sure we can find plenty of Stateside Rantburgers willing to sponsor you. You're decent folks and don't deserve what the Bear will do to you.

#3 Don't forget, if they do that, all our troops leave europe, which means that their pitiful militaries will be unable to prevent the russians from taking them over. We all know Russia and their lovely agreements compliance.

#4 Our troops might not leave all of Europe, SB.

They might just move to Poland, Lithuania, etc....

#5 But the current leaders will be able to say they secured gas and oil for the next decade. And we will either lose the BMD sites in Eastern Europe or see our allies there heavily pressured on both sides.

#6 THE President of Russia has called on Europe's leaders to create a new world order that would minimise the role of the United States.

I'm all for it if they (the Euros) are. The US has bailed them out since WW1, nearly 100 years. Let the new and improved Russia take next one hundred. Good ridance.

#7 I wouldn't worry too much: Russia is just barely managing its own problems and is not quite up to marching into Europe. But I am getting tired of footing the bill for everybody, Europeans especially.

#8 I think lotp has it right: if Medvedev and Putin pull this off, we're looking at a Europe that is now completely emasculated, neutered and put at Russia's lap. That means the dissolution of NATO (which a President Obama might not mind one bit) and loss of all facilities there, including the BMD sites. That might not happen in a month or a year but that's the clear point.

#9 I thought Europe was already anti american?

#10 In many ways anti-american attitudes are prevalent, yes - but not to the point of other alliances that would kill formal cooperation between us at the government level.

#11 emasculated even with a NATO alliance, by their own domestic politics. They won't be welcoming a Russian army, which can't even do business succesfully in Georgia. I may be time to review just who is pulling their weight and who we should be spending our blood and treasure to defend. The Czechs, Poles, Hungarians, Ukrainians seem to be up to the challenge. Any common denominator to note there?

#14 Wow. Just wow.

Ya know, between this and all the economic/financial seismology of the past few months, I'm wondering if the contents of George Soros' phone records and hard drive might not make very interesting reading...

Why hasn't George Soros been the recipient of some wet work? This guys fingerprints are all over a ton of mischief being perpetrated just about everywhere.

Soros = Blofeld
