Jake (or anybody else), could you give a breakdown of how many troops you're withdrawing, where they're stationed, and how many troops would remain in Europe?
And I can assure Mr Soulty that the overpublicised little riots in France cannot be construed as proof that "Islamic extemists could cause serious troubles in Europe", and that nobody in France would have any sort of friendly feelings for Atlasia left if Atlasia intervened there.
Sure, the riots in France might be a "small" (I woud hardly call them that) enough for French authorities to handle, but you cannot deny that extremism has taken hold in Europe. What if, say, mass riots occured all over Europe? I would not seek to act without the concent of European authorities in such a matter. I think, however, that if it were to come to it, the United States has a vested interest in protecting, not only our allies, but the treasures and relics that represent our common heritage as Europeans.
If Mr. Trondheim does not believe that there is serious danger of an Islamic flare-up in Europe, then he is refuting the work of almost every sociologist and political scientist who has done work in this area.
Not only that, but he still did not address my point about Russia's resent attempt to reassert their iron grip over Ukraine, which I think is cause for alarm for anyone who calls themselves an ally of freedom and liberty.
