Remember when Rumsfeld disparagingly called the EU "Old Europe" back in 2003?

Question

Don't you wish you sold your dollars and bought Euros back in 2003?

Answer 1

That statement was made about those EU members that didn't goosestep into the Iraq quagmire not about the whole EU BTW.
Before the invasion, then-U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld brushed off the anti-war leaders in Europe by saying that Germany and France were part of “Old Europe.” This division oversimplified pro-and anti-war camps. Countries that supposedly fell into the category of “New” Europe, such as Bulgaria and Poland, contributed troops to the U.S.-led effort, but public opinion in those countries did not support sending troops to Iraq. Eastern European leaders may have felt obligated to contribute militarily to the Iraq War because the United States had supported their campaigns to join NATO. However, where the United Kingdom, Italy, and Spain fell was not clear. Prime Minister Blair brought the United Kingdom into the war, despite opposition within his own Labour government. Italy and Spain also made sizeable troop contributions -- even though public opinion in those countries went against the war and troop contributions were later drawn down as political leadership changed hands.


Very glad with with my euros, thanks for asking

Answer 2

No. I think Europe is a continent full of losers. They refuse to protect their own culture and let Muslim immigrants overpower them
