Europeans are appeasers who have relied on a foreign power to defend them for 60 years, despite the fact that on paper, there is no reason they cannot defend themselves. They could; they simply choose not to.
Wrong. They have adequate defenses for the real threats out there. It is the US that has a military several times the size it needs. Even during the 'Cold War' the Soviet 'threat' was enormously hyped by the US, which was the main aggressor during that conflict. Lastly, Europeans are not 'appeasers', they just aren't imperialist aggressors to the exent the U.S. is.
No, they resent the US stirring up trouble by attacking anyone who dares to disagree with it - attacking Vietnam, supporting Isreal, enslaving whole peoples under client dictators in Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia.
No, the Europeans are realistic, the Americans are engaging in imperialism by deluding their simple populace into believing anything that doesn't serve the profits of the multinational corporation is a threat to the national security of the US.
Yes, they're smart enough to know that the country itself is a terrible threat and danger, even if some leaders (for example Clinton) are less flagrantly irresponsible and destructive than the current example.
