Should America strengthen ties with Europe, considering that we've common enemies? (military, party)

[SquareWheel]

I.E. non-Western Muslims and Communists.

Thanks.

Just wondering where all the hate for (and from) Europe is coming from.
Maybe the 50 ¢ Party?

I love Western / Occidental Culture and think we should preserve it!

The US is its own biggest enemy.

[SquareWheel]

And it's own biggest friend.
But that's not the question.

Your OP is all over the place. I think you should clarify the purpose of this topic, and the OP itself.

[SquareWheel]

No. The OP is fine.
It's meant as an introduction for a discussion on a few topics.
The main one being the title. Thanks for your contribution though.

It all depends on what you mean by strengthening ties. If that means paying for Europe's defense like we've been doing for years. NO! If you mean having them pull their own weight when there is a conflict that affects both US and EU interest. YES!

I mainly mean just realizing that there are 'bigger fish to fry' and that petty infighting weakens us both. Western / Occidental (to me) is the strongest civilizing force in the history of the world and (again: to me) seems to be under attack. I'll have to leave on that juicy note as I have a few chore to do around the house before nightfall.

Anyways, take care everyone...

I'm in total agreement. We could stand to sell a few bases back to their respective military entities as well


HOLY CRAP! First Don and now I find myself agreeing with you?
Will wonders never cease?

Hey, is 310 a ref to your area code?

Have a great weekend everyone!

Which conflicts are they, exactly?
