Everyone was asking at the outset of Bosnia/Kosovo why Europe wasn’t leading on that if it was so all-fired important to them. They NEVER led. The US, so far as I know, probably still has a brigade-sized combat team there.
I’m all in favor of letting India worry about Pakistan and Afghanistan.
I also think that Europe needs skin in the game in the Ukraine.
“Everyone was asking at the outset of Bosnia/Kosovo why Europe wasnt leading on that if it was so all-fired important to them.”
If Europe took the lead, how could Clinton have wagged the dog?
The problem of letting India worry about pakistan and Afghanistan is that those two countries problem were built up with US money. Read what nixon did to India inthe 1971 indo-pak war when he ordered the USS enterprise into the bay of Bengal. Pakistangets and has got billion$ of dollars of militaryaid. Also the Afghanistan problem withthe Taliban started with the arming of mujahideen inthe 80s. Also the us looked the other way while oakis developed.nukes. so we can’t just tell.them “ok ww screwed up your neighborhoodx now go clean it up
Europe, always there when they need us.
