So a mad old Hermit kept your boys out of Vietnam and Korea did they? That was when they were slumbering. Now the Dragon is waking up.

I doubt the EU is going to go head-to-head in a bipartisan war of egos with the US. No one's putting up with that shit TWICE in 100 years. Would be kinda fun from one angle, but totally unacceptable from the other, more perceptive angle.
