I think that today everyone is aware that NATO was a joke. The only thing that kept the USSR from taking Europe was the US. If the US wasn’t there to protect them, and if they decided to do it on their own, they would have no economy to speak of.

So, what you have is a country that was protected for 50 years on someone elses expense spitting in your face.

And, do you really think that France has a higher opinion of the US than what is seen in the German cartoon?

And get them out of Korea, too. Adam Garfunkle in NRO today has the best solution I’ve seen: pull out our troops. Then China will actually have to go along with containment instead of getting a free ride. And we tell the world that the threat posed by North Korea that of nuclear attack, which we would respond to with our own nuclear counter-attack, not with 37,000 troops.

Es ist alle über Öööööööööööölllllllllll!!!!!

Of course, you have to remember that DER SPEIGEL bought-on to the scam that was labeled as HITLER’S DIARY. Do they actually believe in anything?

I thought that was Stern, though my old-fogey memory isn’t what it used to be.
