Europe and the Rest of the World - A Military Analysis

[gaelic cowboy]

The problem is that there will always be people who think that war will get them what they want, and if everyone else is not willing to use their military against them, then they will be right. War DOES solve problems.

Think about what your saying here Vuk, you are trying to claim that a generic trait common to all people is specific to European people. Cooporatation is far more common to the human condition that you give credit for, I am glad I don't actually live in your imagined absolutist world.

It defeated Hitler, and if Europeans were not so gun-shy and passionate on avoiding war, they would have stopped Hitler before he became a threat. The pansy Europeans of that generation are responsible for every life lost in that war.

Amazing lack of either historical perspective or even just common sense here.

Unfortunately lots of innocent Americans had to die to help a bunch of ungrateful European cowards clean up their own mess.

No, I am not of course saying that the European military of that time were cowards (well, other than the Italian ones), but the politicians and cultural leaders were. They led the world into one of the worst wars ever with their cowardice.

I suppose it had nothing to do with the fact the depression had hit Europe badly and the various economies could not afford a war, most were not capable of mobilising early or properly enough for war cos they were economically weak. Also pretty much all the material I have ever read says that everyone believed the war was coming but each side was trying to delay till it would be advantageous for them.

You have a real John Wayne complex Vuk, A mans gotta do what mans gotta do and all that silly rubbish, you do realise the West was actually won by shopkeepers right.

Also I just realised 7 pages for a thread that pretty much was debunked on page one.
