Europe wants peace

I can not help but wonder what manner of disaster would befall the world if the USA just pulled out of every foreign country AND stopped funneling money outside the USA.
I think there will be more global celebration than disaster. We're nothing but the new Rome. The world didn't weep when they went away. Plenty of them wanted the Romans out of their lands, same as today with the US.

Any idea how many pies the USA has got its finger in?
I sure don't.

I just think that people like you are not the majority in the US.
That would not be good if that were true.

In my opinion, the average day-to-day American isn't obsessed or even thinking about anything happening in Europe; if anything, it's out-of-sight & out-of-mind.

Americans are mainly focused on their jobs, their families, the recreational activities, sports, partying, getting together with friends, birthdays, weddings, what's for lunch, what's for dinner, their hobbies, that maintenance or repair work that they need to do on their home, their next vacation trip, shopping, what's on TV, listening to music, road closures, the traffic, the weather, local issues such as street crime happening on the corner near their home, etc. etc. etc.

I get that the mainstream media in Europe probably portrays America in some sort of monotonous or one-dimensional political way, because they do that here in American mainstream media too.

There probably are some Americans who are seriously obsessed with war, but there's probably very few of them & some of them are probably bored with life or losers with nothing better to do.

Americans generally don't want war. That's why the government is constantly lying us into wars and whipping us up into hysterics like with what happened after 9/11. They have to do these psychological manipulations or they would never get people to go along with it.

However that system isn't working as well as it used to. The young have no interest in being soldiers, especially for this country which they widely view as unjust, and military recruitment numbers are abysmal. That's why they're talking about a possible draft.

Europe wants peace.
These latest EU elections have showed it.

So this is a message to my friends from the United States:
do respect Europeans' desire of peace and may God enlighten you as well...and make you desire peace with Russia.
Thank you. :)
I want peace, but not if that means Russia keeps any land in Ukraine

Personally I don't care about few square miles in Eastern Europe

They are not worth risking world war 3 for

If giving them to Putin would make him feel like a big strong man and stop his war then that would be OK by me

They shouldn't be in NATO. NATO should be gotten rid of, actually. Let Ukraine join the EU instead.
Yes, that would be good in the long term

However it needs to be made clear to Russia that Ukraine is in the west, which could be done by it either joining the EU or NATO
