[quote=gandalf]Great discussion, enjoyed reading. One of the best FP threads in a long while.
[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]The problem with allowing the Europeans to “own” this, is that they won’t. And we all know it. Why? Because they’re bigger pussies than Obama.

That made me laugh.[/quote]
I will say here that I actually do not disagree with Allan with his assessment of the European pussiness. I will also say this type of pussiness is not limited to the Europeans, but throughout most of the American client states around the world, including Asian countries such as S.Korea and Japan.
So why are all of our “friends” pussies? The answer is by allowing them to rely so much on American military might, we made them so. This reality must change. Much like if any of us have a son rather on the soft side, our objective is to toughen him up so he can fend for himself in the future, and not fight his fight for him even when he is fully grown.
