Loading ...The whole Iran thing is a bag of hard questions, bad decisions and ignorance. In a way I can’t fault the EU countries for not joining in. They didn’t start it, it’s not real local (So NATO?) and they’re in missile range. Also they have many Jihadi’s in their countries. On the other hand looking at WW1, WW2 and all the expense and effort we’ve made after WW2 to protect Europe from invasion it looks massively ungrateful. A Mullah-less Iran would be to everyone’s benefit.
It’s about time that the Europeans paid for their own defense. The US really can’t afford to be there anymore, and I’d extend that to many of our bases around the world. How many do we really need? Do we have to have our finger in every pie? What’s our deficit again?
