Luxembourg's Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn said the U.S. plan was "incomprehensible," adding that money spent on a European missile defense system could better be spent elsewhere.
"We will have no stability in Europe if we push the Russians into a corner," he said. "Here, one has to help the Poles and the Czechs to show solidarity with a European position."
Fascinating. Who knew that our alliance has the purpose of providing for the common surrender? I'm sure our new NATO allies are confused since they thought they were providing for the common defense of Europe by joining NATO. As I've written many times, European nations can be our allies, Europe cannot be our ally. We should act accordingly.
And further, who knew Luxembourg has a foreign minister? Next you'll tell me that they have a navy or something. Sheesh, I'm almost nostalgic for taking advice on nuclear policy from Amy Carter.
As a note to the foreign minister, having the Russians in a corner--as far east as possible--is far better than having them on the Elbe River.
And having missile defenses that could stop a country that argues it should have unfettered freedom to nuke you is a good idea, too.
