Hanson remains a wanna-be clown.

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