How is asking for fair proportional funding of european defense something we should be responsible for? I understand we benefit from that too, but why should we carry the burden more than the direct beneficiaries?
The US benefits more from its forward bases in Europe than the European countries do. This isn't 1976. Russia isn't a direct military threat at this point in time. In south east asia the argument can be seen differently - but even so, the US protects SK, Japan, Taiwan, and Australia to keep open the South China Sea. If that benefit disappeared the US wouldn't be as vigorous in its defense. The reason presidents prior…
You got it backwards. The second Air Force in the world is the US Navy. The US Navy has 8 nuclear lead aircraft carrier groups. AFAIK, neither Russia nor China have nuclear aircraft carriers.
I think the US would be fine without NATO. The US projection would be mostly undamaged. Not so much the rest of the allies. It's the rest of the NATO that benefits from that projection (e.g. Somali pirates missions).
BTW I very much do NOT want NATO to disband. I think it's a great alliance. But let's be realistic. The US pays for alsmost 1/4 of the NATO direct spending, and 2/3 of the indirect spending:

I can't shake this feeling that, just like the lies we were told about masks in order to stop the public from gobbling them all up, like they did with toilet paper, we're being lied to the same way with HCQ in order to protect the supply for the non-peasant classes. On one side there is a shrill loud voice saying it's foolish to…
I found a US patent that suggests HCQ can repair DNA damage from ionizing and non ionizing radiation. My hunch tells me that the government stockpiles it in case of an infrastructure attack uses cell towers to make people sick.

Pretty good reason to keep a stockpile of it.
