Without admitting it, the Europeans have essentially decided to rely on the U.S. to keep them safe. American taxpayers are paying to build a missile defense system, an unchallengeable air force, and a fleet of 13 separate supercarriers with attendant air wings and naval battle groups. Europeans are concentrating on producing richer foie gras, art museums, and corporate subsidies. They could do much more to help guard the West without straining themselves

Ahhh right, so I guess the Eurofighter is a myth, what about our input into the JSF? Hey what about all the money we are paying to the US to purchase apache helicoptors? what about the Royal Navies development of supercarriers? (something the UK has NEVER had nor needed). What about the fact we have American listening stations on our soil to listen to the Russians making the UK a prime target for Nuclear attack (obviously back in the cold war days).
We dont want the US to defend us, we simply dont have enough soldiers or aircraft or indeed civilains to offset any potential friendly fire incidents.
So the US forces can quite happily **** off back to the states, most of europe couldnt give two flying ****s what they do.
