    Man, I’ve read all of your comments. You sound like a young US veteran who lapped up the cool aid.

    Military prowess is one thing. The yanks key role is to be a deterrent force. The forward bases and carrier groups, are all part of a logistics network to allow for rapid response in case of (mostly article 5).

    It is not a standard base or pre deployment for an attack. It would be the most foolish thing they can do, and if they did it, they would seriously damage reputation, strategic positioning, not to mention lose key assets, key allies and troop morale.

    To give you some counter koolaid: the yanks haven’t won a war since Japan and they needed a nuke for that. All other victories were allied with wait for it… European nations.

    All the yanks and especially under Drunk Pete are good at, is hi tech hit and runs like Iran and Venezuela.

    A US attack on EU would basically instantly make a USE, military and everything, and they would (give them some time) bomb DC and make sure that sick pedophile shoots himself in the bunker.

      A country can’t conquer a state. That’s the number one argument against Russia, that they are going to conquer Ukraine.

      Regime changes are ok, or splitting countries. The US has reached their goals.

      they would seriously damage reputation, strategic positioning, not to mention lose key assets, key allies and troop morale.

      It’s only Europe that ignores American war crimes. The rest of the world woudn’t mind western infighting.

      If they conquer Europe they would own the assets.

      Troop morale of European troops would be the only real disadvantage. Now they are willing to fight Russia to defend their freedom. That won’t happen if they are conquered.
