Here’s how iPINIONS thinks EU leaders should respond: Sure, Don TACO, just like you’re “considering” invading Iran. You launched this war without consulting us, demanded we bleed for it, and now you’re throwing a tantrum because we said no? NATO is a defense alliance, not your foreign legion. You’re acting like a spoiled kid threatening… Read more.
