NATO should have been disbanded 30 years ago.
US troops should have been removed from South Korea 20 years ago.

US strategic interests should be focused on central and South America.

There are 0 military threats to our South. We could take all of South and Central America in a matter of days.

South Korea/Japan act as a check on China/Russia.


Respectfully disagree.

The single biggest threat to the people of United States are the drug cartels in Columbia, Venezuela, Guatemala, Nicaragua and especially……MEXICO.

If Europe and South Korea cannot defend themselves after over SEVENTY years of US aid and protection…..that is their problem .


Those are not military threats and, with all due respect, if drug addicts can't stop themselves after 70 years of warnings that is their problem.

But seriously none of those countries have the ability to start a world war. China does.

The minute you leave South Korea and Japan China will take Taiwan regardless of the costs to them (which would be insanely high and incredibly difficult).

Our main disagreement is probably the mission of military. Stopping the inflow of drugs is not a military problem to me. It's a problem for the alphabet agencies.

Here's the problem with your analysis: It presumes that armed invasion by a peer competitor is our only risk.

Not so......

Never did I say that. I said drugs and prostitution are not the job of the military. And for all of recorded time that has been true.

Personally, neither of those pose a risk to me.

Well, I'm not particularly proud to be Mercan these days. Embarrassed really. I pay my taxes there, but don't live there for now, till we get our chit straight.

See that's the difference. I'm proud to be an American. I was proud when Willy was using cigars in his interns *****, I was proud when Reagan was taking down the wall, I was proud when we had a corpse with dementia and I'm still proud.

This is the best country on the planet and it's not remotely close. I've lived all over the world; I loved growing up that way, I've loved something about everywhere I've ever lived and everywhere I've been (even places like Eritrea).

There are great humans all over the globe, there are pretty places in every country, there's amazing food and culture and pride all over…and none of that is better than being born into the best society history has ever known and no President will ever have the ability to change that.

If he didn't think of that then he's an idiot. It's absolutely the immediate outcome and anyone who has ever dealt with credit knows it.

This is the dumbest **** ever. Both parties.

1 billion dollars is 0.013% of the FY2025 budget.

That is $.13 on $1,000. It is literal pocket change. And don't hit me with "a billion here and a billion there" because not one person in here if they had $1,000 would give 1 nanosecond of thought to how they spent $10 nevermind $.10

Lmao you're on a generational run. First you said you'd sell out your fellow countrymen if they didn't pay taxes and now you're fine with sending billions to foreign nations. It's about principle

Trump tells protesters in Iran help is coming soon. War with Iran? That was a big line about Clinton. That she would have us in a war with Iran in 1 year. Watching Trump lovers spin this as positive will be entertaining as always.

We've seen the predictions of war with Iran just recently. Proved to be wrong. I'm sure there will be lots of bluster on why this time it's different.

My guess is there will be another coordinated attack on regime installations and possibly security leadership.

Tell you what. Tell me the last thing you spent $.13 on and exactly how much time you spent debating it. I'll wait.

Oh, wait, this is about "principle" whatever the **** that means.

FTR, I'm cool if we never spend a dollar outside of this county. What I'm very much over is performative politics which do literally nothing. Neither party gives a damn about you or me…but I'm not going to pretend $.13 is worth getting riled up over.

What the hell are you talking about? The post is essentially calling out performative politics as it shows that members from both sides of the aisle are passing anti-American slop.

And if you don't understand the principle of it then I assume you're on the tail end of your life and these issues aren't exactly relevant to you. If not, I don't know why the hell you would want to be active in the political threads

If I only had $1000 you bet your ass I would think about how I spend every single penny

Yeah no but you are wrong.

You have to start somewhere. Every time Congress votes to spend money it adds up. Each time they pass a new spending bill of "just a billion" here and "just a billion" there it eventually snowballs.

Your example is stupid.

No one can answer it because what costs $.13?? Like seriously?

The last time I paid for something with cash was just this week when it was a $.97 item and the cashier closed the drawer without giving me my change. When I said something she seemed upset but you can be damn sure I was getting my $.3 of MY money back.

So yeah I think about how I spend every $10 I have out of every thousand. And every 13 cents like you claim.

Perhaps you forget Trumps first term. There was one or two issues with Iran. One was something about us shooting at a ship or something that got to close to one of ours. For about a week libs claimed he had just started WW3….. and we see how that claim of war turned out…..
