    A: The EU should definitely have its own military, capable of defending its own borders without the need of external help.

    B: Fuck the orange buffoon who has single handedly damaged the US beyond repair. Even if the US ejects the fascists and prosecutes all corrupt politicians and billionaires who partook in pilfering the country, it will never reach the heights it enjoyed before.

      And all he would have had to do was nothing. Most western nations were nicely settled into the us hegemony. Noone really thought about the nature of that relationship.

      Now it would take another world war to get them back in the saddle and if Iran is any indication, then the US would have a hard time dominating like they did in ww2

        The usa military is a myth. They joined WW1 when The German Empire was already loosing. They only started the invasion of the Nazi territories after the tide was changed by the USSR. They lost in Vietnam. The only time the usa military “wins” is by bombing fishermen or civilians.

        I would not take Iran as indication of what could be happen in a world war, to be honest
