Damn… I got all excited for nothing.. Defending the thankless European countries like Finland costs too much money and takes away resources from places the military actually needs to be. So when Finland’s president Alexander Stubb arrogantly claimed that Finland could defend itself without the US, I figured, GREAT! Pull all troops near and around Finland and let them deal with their own problems… Then of course the smug, arrogant Stubb backtracked and claimed he never said such a thing even though it’s on video…
NEW: Finnish President says Europe can defend itself without the U.S. before saying 11 minutes later that he never said Europe could defend itself without the U.S.
Alexander Stubb: "Can Europe defend itself? My answer is unequivocally yes… without the Americans."
