Cave to NK, Cave to Russia...cave to Islamic terrorists...
PWNED!!!
EUROPE?
We don’t need no stinkin’ Europe!
Obama owns it now....if it breaks....its his.
Don’t worry Europe. Hussein screwed you over, but the Islamist taking over your continent will take your mind off of it.
Cave Jackass

Europeans Angry As Obama Scraps Missile Defense Shield
"We wouldn't go that far to say racists but if the President was white, well you know," says White House.
US still have an arrogant foreign policy that ignores the wishes of allies
“Cave to NK, Cave to Russia...cave to Islamic terrorists...”
I no longer think it’s “cave”, it’s intentional and planned.
Pardon?
Can you rephrase that so its understandable please?
