Germany has an unemployment rate of over 12% and their education system is third-rate. I don't think the French are much better. The Europeans are now just a bunch of leftist nitwits.

Hmm...aren't you mixing up "heavy lift capacity" and "armed forces" with economy? Neither heavy lift or armed forces actually make money. Germany has quite high uneployment rae compared tyo USA but it also has different political system. Their education system actually isn't third-rate at all.
