And I remember when I was in Germany in 1983 there was no end of bitching and moaning about NATO (which my wife, who had lived in Germany earlier assured me was the common attitude). "Oh, those NATO planes flying overhead! We hate them." And a Belgian dude on a train going through that country asked "Why do we need such a U.S. presence. We are not so afraid of Russia as you seem to be.*"Now that they are "so afraid of Russia" the U.S. refusing to guarantee that we are at their beck and call is betrayal. *At the time, European countries were looking forward to getting natural gas from the Soviet Union. The U.S. didn't think that was such a hot idea, but Europeans didn't care. Are they not sovereign? |
