Europe has had since the 40’s to build up their forces to counter the Russian threat (and German threat, the Germans always fucking turn), and though it had a rock solid partner in the United States and NATO, most chose to invest in their social safety nets, and mandatory months long paid holidays, using only the smallest amounts in their budgets for defense, some almost none at all. Well.
Do you think marching with Islamic Jihad supporters, taking over University commons from coast to coast hoisting swastikas, chanting “From The River To The Sea” in every major American city all through last Spring and Summer scared the absolute bejeesus outta just middle America, or all of it? AOC should start her own “Squad Party”.
