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.

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
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.

Can a president pull us out of NATO? Does it require Congress too?
If congress formally approved a treaty to join NATO …..I would suspect congressional approval would be required to terminate the treaty.
I think it only requires senate approval just like treaties only require senate approval once a president signs them.
My bad
You are completely correct…..senate vote only

Except you're not.
This is why all government spending should be forced to be in $1000s. I know regular morons can't figure out billions on trillions. I just assumed people with a college degree could.
A billion is to a trillion what 1 is to 1,000. So, again, if you had $1,000 you would never question for even one second what you spent $1 on. And you wouldn't say "a dollar here and a dollar there and then you're talking real money".
Millionaires don't concern themselves with where $1,000 went. I'm not a millionaire and I spent $800 last Friday alone.
Make the argument we should spend $0 on foreign aide. I could probably be right behind that. Don't make the argument a billion dollars is some unfathomable amount of money for the government to spend because it isnt.
Median household income in the US in 2024 was $81,600. I promise you with certainty there's not one household in this country that can account for every $81.60 they spent or that didn't spend $81.60 on completely frivolous crap. Hell that's less than a Netflix account.

Sorry but I think you are again wrong.
Look at Warren Buffet. He pinches pennies. He doesn't just throw money around.
Many millionaires became millionaires because they closely tracked where they spent their money. They may not do so anymore but they did.
Heck even in my house we know where we spend money. We can account for every purchase. Some of them might be frivolous like a meal out, a few extra items at the store we didn't need, etc. but we know where we spent every dollar.
I would bet there are tons of households in the country that also can account for where they spend their money and at least know where their frivolous expenditures are.
But those are also two different arguments. 1. Is saying not knowing where they spend their money and 2. Is saying "well maybe they do but they have frivolous expenditures"

It does become a military threat when hookers and drug dealers are running entire countries as a base of operations for unconventional warfare against us in concert with peer competitors. US courts can't fix that. Constrictive diplomacy rarely works in such situations. That leaves us with no option but to either endure the situation or use the military to persuade a "Hookers & Drugs" regime to change policy.
