Fair enough. Even though we all disagree how it is we arrived here, we also all seem to agree we ARE here at least.
So.
You deal for yourselves. NATO is off the table entirely.
I didn't say it wasn't bankrupt before, btw, I just said we wouldn't keep bleeding ourselves to support it.
Not necessary any longer? Cool! I really do think Obama won't want to keep supporting either (hey....there is one thing I actually AGREE with him on).
And good luck with those Russian tank columns. It's not that we won't WANT to help you....really, we would if we could...
...but we're just too broke.
Tanks, soliders...airplanes....all cost a lot.
What IS relatively cheap to use are NUCLEAR WEAPONS (hey....you let us know what you want to do).
To Paraphrase Obama himself, during the US fiscal crisis: Call me if you need me/Call us if you need us. We also have twelve interceptors somewhere in Poland (you'll remember those twelve defensive weapons--they don't have any offensive warheadds....and you were all protesting them as "uneccassarily provacative").
Hey....'m sure those twelve warheadless missiles alone will be enough to stave off any attack that might come your way (and I'm sure you have the same level of faith too)!
