    I’m going to go with what European military leaders are saying, out loud and in public. God knows what those leaders really know and talk about.

    I’m guessing you’re European? Well, you’ve had 80 years of mostly peace and prosperity. Timed to get armed, personally. (Yes my fellow Americans, Europeans can acquire guns without too much hassle. Yes, real guns. Gun ownership just isn’t a major part of their culture like it is over here, and their culture isn’t as diseased as ours regarding weapons.)

    If you’re allergic to guns, consider these two scenarios:

    1. Hostile foreign power invades America.

    2. Hostile foreign power invades Europe.

    In which case do you expect the invader to suffer the most? Which case do you consider more likely?

        It’s funny how easily people are deceived, imagine if your house neighbor were to buy some howitzers and hire 100 guys for “security reasons”. Armies are made to wage war and most weapons are designed to kill other humans.
