Germany has the spine and themoney which is why we continue to pre-empt German defense. If we provide the military for defense of Europe(read: Germany) then Germany does not develop a military capable of overrunning the rest of Europe and we don’t have to use our military to pull France and England’s cookies out of the fire yet again.
No, they really don’t have the spine. They’re complete jellyfish today. They don’t have very many young people either.
The notion that the US must take responsibility for European security into perpetuity because otherwise Germany will overrun Europe is patented interventionist nonsense.
