We tried that in the 1930s and it got us WWII. The lesson of the twentieth century is that the Europeans cannot be trusted to keep the peace.

We have the EU today, Europe is more unified and has nuclear weapons as deterrent.

I’d rather see us spend our money building up our economy to face rising competition in Asia than waste it defending ungrateful people with cutting-edge and expensive weapons technology.
