#1 By the 80's Western Europe had amassed a combined population and GDP equal to the United States. It's been military welfare for generations. I'd bet that in the future, historians will make a legitimate case that it was a futile waste of manpower and resources to resurrect a dying civilization on the scale of Justinian trying to reconstruct the faded and moribund Western Roman Empire. The ruling caste seemed to have forgotten that our ancestors either left or were thrown out of the place to begin with, all with good reason.
