Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

An informal one, but one US diplomats have hammered European NATO allies over -- since Clinton I at least. Usually in the context of orders for the US mil-ind complex; and the US's assuaging by European vassals usually took the form of pointless fighter jet orders. Things got more complicated when the preference in jets became Eurofighters or Gripens.

I wish though that our NATO-member governments would stop playing tricky vassals who go along in US adventures but sabotage the effort, and just stopped going along, now THAT would deserve to be called neopacifism...
