But that's not the same as having an America that supports European interests. IOW's a weaker America lead by Obama is not going to be able to support European defense, and the days of freeloading off America will hasten to an end with an Obama re-election. But they can't see that.
Better start writing those bigger tax checks for your own defense, Euroweenies!
If many Euros are like my Brit in-laws, I doubt they give a thought to defense. I’ve yet to hear my Brit in-laws say anything at all about Islamism or defending their their country. They were all against the Iraq War and probably Afghanistan as well. Some called Tony Blair a war criminal. So in my honest opinion, many Euros are blissfully unaware of any threat to their own countries. I don’t even think they believe we will come to their defense in case of an attack or care if we do or don’t. Because they simply don’t see any threats on the horizon. And I’d have to say, like Mark Steyn, their biggest threat is a demographic i.e. Islamist threat. But they don’t say anything about that either.
