This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

That depends on the country and local experience with the US, which differes a lot. When it comes to Europe, US presence in NATO is crucial for the region's security since WW2.

Besides what is required of us due to NATO (really REALLY hope we don't pull out of that) we dot a lot of other ancillary force projection.

This could be unfounded fears but I worry the US won't be the ones who directly feel the affects if it does happen.
