You have sweepingly dismissed an entire continent as too wussified to go to war, even to save themselves. You did that, not me. You also charge them with lacking the capacity or resolve to develop competent armies despite their advanced economies and technologies. Unlike you, I'm not claiming greater bravado than you or anyone else. I'm just asking your cedentials for such jingoism other than an eagerness to send other people's children to die in foreign wars, and also facts to support your thesis.

The Europeans aren't just saying we're on our own, they want to change the financial landscape and loosen US domination.

Come on SU, I know you're not on the side of people who use this type of rhetoric...
