COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY JOE MCLEAN IN THE GUARDIAN
Trump's tough talk on Iran could end in a big, blame-evading
dodge

reader who wrote: All you people complaining about Trump's America - either do
something about it or shut up. The US throws its weight around in part because
nobody in Europe or the wider Western world ever does much to stand up to it.
Even in the run up to the disastrous Iraq War, only France had the cojones to
say anything.
Indeed, but it’s Europe's leaders, not people commenting in
a newspaper, that are the problem.
Europe hasn't had a single leader for years worthy of the
title.
Cameron? May? Hollande? Macron? Etc.
And Ms. Merkel, who had a chance for greatness as Europe's
leading figure and threw it away, basically eats America's crap daily.
She never said a word about the horrors of the Neocon Wars
and their vast slaughter, and she hurt her own country by taking in too many
refugees at once, those refugees being the direct result of America's slaughter
in the Mideast.
And she always smiled with that mass killer Obama, the man
who bombed people every day of his time in office. And she swallowed his
immense arrogance.
And she further hurt her people keeping to the Obama
nonsense about Russia. And she helped that fairly sick man, Erdogan, gain some
real leverage on Europe.
In America, it isn't just Trump. It is the entire American
ruling establishment. They are all on aggressive tear, all fearful of the
coming relative decline of the country, all desperate to enforce the Pentagon's
dictum of "full-spectrum dominance.'
All of them are the worst blood-drenched imperialists.
God, Europe with some good leadership could provide an
important new force in the emerging world, instead of behaving as America's
domestic servant.
Readers might enjoy these examples of Obama's immense but
rarely noted arrogance:
