so? I never understood this, you want europe to be dependent on american troops but you dont want american troops in europe? you can't have it both ways, it really depends on how it is implemented. You cannot allow europe to be at the mercy of russia or china.

europe just wants free stuff. fuck them

this is not 1930

we already rescued them twice

ye and theres still a million bases all over the place

As a brit, I have no complaints if you guys withdraw from Europe. We are more than capable of looking after ourselves, and if the EU isn't that's their fault

FYI i am irish

Oh ok, fair

also i live not that far from where american planes refuel coming into europe or elsewhere

which as a neutral country is somewhat problematic when it comes to military exercises

You can't claim WW1, that was as good as won when you rocked up.
As for WW2, team effort. You couldn't have done it without us, and we couldn't have done it without you

Yeah, I get that

. . . thus why i said "rescue"

you can make that claim for WW2, not WW1

anyway some countries in europe have conscription but ireland doesn't, our military is strictly peacekeeping forces. I don't think making an eu army is necessarily a bad thing but it depends on how it is implemented.

Yeah, that's fair enough. My concern is the fact they stringently denied any possibility it would even be considered, so the question is, what else are they gonna do?

Whelp, it finally happened. People are now being arrested for posting spicy meme's.

Is this like a secret police

We must now create new emails, and use them for memes.

The meme war will not be lost

A nice sentiment but, I doubt facebook and twitter are going to be heart broken

Much like with the north part of Idaho.

that is literally the smallest part of the state

But the best part of the state. The rest is just sage brush and dirt.

meh, i like to view things in a positive way

not sure why there's a map of idaho in world news

It was in relation to the only other place that has banned twitter and facebook and I was pointing out how small and rural that area is.

and?

@Meryl.140.15 Last I checked Idaho was till part of the world.

the size of the place in idaho banned facebook has meaning because.... why?

....

yes but idaho the map isn't news

Do you just comment on things without following what people are talking about? I am genuinely suprised by either your inability to follow a conversation.

weren't you the one freakin out yesterday about how there were non news images in the news section now you're putting non news image in the news section

No

yeah that was you

YOU were the one freaking out, but only about certain ones.

well now you're a liar

a gloomy, depressed liar
