Hanson remains a wanna-be clown.

Wow, so much hostility towards VDH. He must be hitting some Euro nerves... ;)

Compare this statement...

the result of the presence of a quarter-million American troops, who really did keep the Russians out and Germany’s military down

with

whether all of Europe or just some of its historically more bellicose states will boost defense expenditures above the parsimonious European average of 0.5 percent of GNP.

On the one hand he's proud of the US effort to keep "Germany's military down", on the other hand a snide remark on the low military expenditures.


There is no contradiction there... the first point was obviously more about German militarism/nationalism (a la WW2)... the second was about the ongoing Euro failure to cost share during the cold war, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

Hanson's articles are so full of contradictions and errors that he's not even a laugh.

Since the first wasn't so contradictory or untruthful... Could you please cite another?
