#2 The EUnuchs can kiss my ass. Pull the diplomats and the soldiers out now and tell those pussies they're on their own. Maybe not having Uncle Sugar to fight their battles for them might, just might get them to start thinking they have to provide their own security. Most of them, though, would think that meant condoms and Vaseline.

#3 Just remember EU, we can do the same.

A hat for a cat,
A cat for a hat,
but nothing for nothing.

#4 A ticket or two (or 2,000) for some 'diplo-vehicles' improperly parked around New York or LA or Chicago or DC......

#5 The EU is not a country.

If it was, they should have only one U.N. Security Council Seat, one Embassy in the U.S., etc.

#7 The US should set up plans to close a number of our embassy's in Europe as redundant, downgrading some to consolates and closing others outright. WE should also have plans to pull out military out entirely.

We wouldn't have to follow up on either. The EU would get pressure from member governments and would shut up quick. If we do follow up, well it's a win/win.

#8 The EU always tries to imply that the US wants to keep the eastern Europeans out, like western Europe. But it's just the opposite. The eastern Europeans are not going to be sending any potential terrorist immigrants or criminals our way, for many reasons. But the western Europeans are more than happy to send any filth in their streets to our streets.

The US would be happy to double or triple the number of visitors we get from the East.
