OT (or is it?): American Imperialism

I don't smoke (and tobacco commercials are illegal where I live) and I'm a vegetarian (e.g. I drink milk and eat eggs, but I don't eat anything containing the cadavers of animals.).

Ok, so the US "way of life" is not being forced upon us (Europeans). But there are STILL nukes stationed here. Why? The only feasible threats at this moment are Iran and North Korea, and the US have plenty of allies closer to thos countries... why the f*cking hell don't you just GET YOUR F*CKING MISSILESD OUT OF OUR F*CKING COUNTRIES?!?!? WE DON'T WNAT YOUR NUKES!!!!!

Why don't you ask your own elected leaders? I can guarantee you that any nukes would be pulled out of any European country that told the US flatly to remove them. The last thing we want is nuclear weapons sitting in a country that is potetially turning hostile towards us. There is a sizable percentage of Americans, I consider myself one, that thinks the need for large numbers of US military personell stationed in Europe is past. But whenever the idea of bringing those garrisons home is brought up, some of the loudest voices objecting are the governments hosting them and the busineses in those countries that sell things to those soldiers. You want our soldiers there spending their money in your resturants and stores, just don't be bringing your "culture" in here. Leave that on the base thank you very much.

Ragnarok... it's indeed bull****. The US could also simply place those missiles on nuclear subs RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GULF. They have plenty of nuke subs, so why the [censored] do they need to place ONE HUNDRED AND FRICKING EIGHTY NUKES in Europe? Are they afraid of the possible emerging of the Soviet State of France and Western Europe or something? They have NO REASON - NO REASON AT ALL - to place those nukes on OUR soil. And what if something goes wrong? Who's to blame? I can imagine the US (toto pro pars for Bush):
"The recent nuclear accident was probably the result of either a terrorist attack or negligence on the part of the Europeans that looked after the nukes. For now, we assume that US citizens were not in any way responsible for the accident, other than that they should have kept better watch over the weapons."
And I really think that son of a mother****ing ***** would actually say something like above... and I don't think Europeans are even ALLOWED NEAR those nukes. Almost NOBODY knew about the EIGHTY nukes in my country until someone published an article about it - and immediately one of my country's left-wing parties (the one I support) began openly demanding those nukes to be transferred out of Holland in parliament. Greece has already voted to remove the nukes stationed there, but it is not clear whether or not they HAVE actually been removed.
