@fmc - why are you comparing the dysfunctional EU to the global superpower that is the USA?

EU military spending and power is weak as they rely on the US to give them security. Name 1 country in EU that has an aircracft carrier besides england

Get your facts straight.

England is not a country, it is a constituent state of the United Kingdom and therefore does not have its own military.

The British Navy has aircraft carriers, as does the French.

 

Get your facts straight.

England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales are all countries.

Oh, and the French and British aircraft carriers are tiny.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
