Me, I think it's about damn time we stopped being the policemen of the world. Our kids die for too many of these hopeless causes. The talking heads try to scare us with talk of terrorists behind every tree and all the innocent people who will die because we didn't protect them from the big bad wolf, but to me, this is exactly why Trump was elected. To put America first and stopping wasting our treasure and the young lives of our men and women fighting the world's battles. We can support these places with weapons, even cash, but let them fight their own battles.

NATO, too ... why the hell are we defending Europe against Russia. Europe's a big boy ... and I helped win the cold war eons ago!

I would say we shouldn't even be sending them cash as long as we have jobless and homeless here at home. Why shouldn't we solve our own problems first? Why bring in migrants when we are not feeding the people we have? Why send aid to other nations when that money could be used to cut taxes or fund businesses to give people jobs. Or put homeless kids in accommodations that might give them a decent start at life? Why are these foreign nations more worthy of our help than our own country men?

So I say great pull out of fucking everywhere and let the world handle its own problems and we can handle ours.

I can't agree more. It's a crazy system we have. Take in everyone from anywhere, feed, educate, and house them for life, yet our own vets (not me, I'm talking the real heroes out there that actually fought these battles) walk the streets and can't get basic health care in a timely fashion. I have no problem with kicking a Saddam Hussein (sp) outta Kuwait when he decides he's gonna annex it ... but kick him out, rough him up a bit, then step away. Ya don't have to stay forever getting our decent kids killed to show how tough you are.

Why even kick him out in the first place? In all likelihood someone worse will just pop up. Why not wait for them to become an actual threat to the US then deal with it.

I can agree to a more hands off approach but we shouldn’t let someone kill and torture people because it doesn’t affect us. While we have no right or obligation to be the world police the strong should protect the meek

Let their own people deal with 'em. I agree.

I agree - BUT. The purpose of said cash is SUPPOSED to preclude needing to send troops every fucking time they get an owie. And we see how well that's worked out. So yeah, neither cash nor troops. Fuck them - really. But if we could actually do any good with said cash and people were not starving at home or on the streets (here's look at you PTSD vets), then I would be OK to send cash in very limited situations.

I have witnessed first hand how this aid is used overseas and it ain't pretty.

And can we PLEASE quit feeding Africa?

Its too early for me to actually formulate a good argument, but for sure we should stop feeding africa it has not helped anything.

Sounds like a good plan to me although im not even sure about supplying them guns. If they do something bad then it's blamed on us bc we gave the guns to them.

[–] • 1 pt

This is true. But supplying arms has always been our bread and butter jobs program - LOL

I think we should kill the population and take the resources.

[–] • 2 pts

We pretty much do that - LOL. Problem is, we hang around getting killed trying to make them more like us, when it ain't ever gonna happen.

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt

So kill the children and women.

I can always count on you for murder and mayhem, - LOL! Not that there's anything wrong with that! ;)

[–] [deleted] • 2 pts

I’m all on board. We don’t belong there.

To me it's just a waste of money and the lives of our best and brightest youth, with zero return. Let them fight their own battles.

No more war for Israel

But there's big money in it - LOL!

Big mistake that we made post-World War I. President Wilson at the time made us the world policemen with the UK, Soviet Union and China.

Anyhow, pull out of the middle East asap. BE SMART ABOUT IT AND DO NOT PULL AN OBAMA WHILE DOING SO

And all the military folks retiring and griping on TV, etc are actually Obama's hand picked surrogates. If you recall, he literally purged the officer ranks of anyone who disagreed with his lunacy.

Everyone needs to stop watching the big news channels. This includes RT. Start watching more OANN and similar networks if they start to pop up.

Only reason I'd watch Fox is for Tucker, Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Judge Jeanine and maybe Jesse Waters if there's nothing sketchy with him. The rest does nothing for me

[–] • 1 pt

You're right. I like Tucker and Gutfeld, too.

It's good stuff. I think we will see more and more aid being withheld, less troops overseas -- just enough to keep our foot in the door. Now if he gets rid of the Fed next year, that will really be something!

I personally would put at the top of my list a complete disengagement from all currently active military theaters in all countries globally, except for our overseas garrisons which can act as a reaction force if needed. You cannot project force to your actual enemies who legitimately threaten the lives of your citizens if all of your soldiers are tied up in endless brush wars in tiny countries that have no capability of attacking you.

While I live in Europe I also agree with you that NATO needs to be abolished, not only can Europe take care of itself (technology, industrial capacity and a boatload of White Warriors) it should always be up to the American people if they choose to spend blood and treasure on the continent. They most likely will but it should be up to them to decide.

We actually need to declare war on the drug cartels with the entire Western Hemisphere helping us. Clear all the cartels out of every country from Mexico to Columbia. Then, tri all the cartel heads for crimes against humanity.

However for this to work, we need to at least get out of the middle east and lower our debt level by a lot

Or just build a wall so that they can't import their poison anymore. Take your pick.

[–] • 2 pts

Oh I agree 100% build the wall. It might actually negate the problem enough at least for us where at least we don't have to go in with that massive war lol
