[heinz_1966]

Originally published by Mira When the West is separated, it creates most of us weaker. totally recognize, and this is actually the stage. When I said in another line, which got Olivier's panties all-in a lot (proverbially talking, whether it did so virtually is beyond the range of my knowledge) the german, and Europe also, is virtually incapable of doing something by themselves, however they are ready to mess things up for the others - to make it harder or impossible for the US and her real partners to influence the types of improvements that are necessary to handle real risks. and this makes us all weaker, for even while Europe pretends it doesn't require the US or it's safe in addition to the US or that its interests don't carefully monitor American interests, it's only a fiction. For while American protection doesn't guarantee Europe's, if America is defeated in its efforts you will see no way for Europe to safeguard itself.
