Let's see them raise an army to fight off the Russians.
Let's see how long the Europeans can last being dependent on Russian oil and gas. From what I've read, the Russians will be owning Europe in just a few years, if the Iranians don't blow the EU off the map before then. Does France even have an army anymore? The U.S. could make an alliance with India to wipe out the terrorists in Pakistan - who needs a bunch of feckless soldiers from Spain to fight a war? I'd vote to for the U.S. to pull out of NATO and let the EU fend for itself. We saved their butts three times already - maybe it's about time for the Europeans to defend themselves and raise an army of their own.
