"Europe. Not since the 1930s has the incompetence, incapacity and selfish shortsightedness of Europe’s governing class been so shockingly on display. "
the Europeans are simultaneously knocking down what little is left of their defense establishments -- to the point where the Obama administration (sounding more like Dick Cheney every day) is telling the Europeans that their incompetent naïveté threatens the survival of NATO. None of this stops European leaders from erecting one fantasy on top of another in a bewildering series of cloud-palaces: global carbon treaties, anti-death penalty campaigns, regional associations across the Mediterranean. Every species of quackery and flapdoodle finds a home and a subsidy in Brussels. -- Global Weirding Coming At Us All | Via Meadia

Your Say
The Warsaw Pact disintegrated years ago. Why does NATO still exist. They won.
The EU is state more populous than the USA, with a stronger currency (for the moment), and with a large, capable, intelligent people. They can change their own nappies now. And if they can't. That's history. Turn the page.

That Italy has a working aircraft carrier and Britain does not says it all.
