It seems to me that HE is looking at the situation egocentrically.
What about us Europeans? He continues:

    To top it off, this country even has the gall to install many nuclear
    bombs right next door, in West Germany. (...)

Well, maybe you didn't, but it's been a while now that WE had many nuclear
bombs right next door, not to mention a big conventional army that once in
a while chops out a little piece of free world. And to whoever argues that
even the USA have a policy of expansion and "capitalistic imperialism":
would you rather be conquered by a communist or a capitalist superpower?
Now, don't tell me they are equally bad: which one must close its borders
to people who wish to go out, and which one to people who wish to come in?
