The rest of the world needs to club closer together, and quickly. The US is no longer a reliable ally.

Heaven forbid the richest nation on earth that steals resources from everyone else contribute to global improvement.

Heaven forbid the rest of the world pays their own share of the bill. We’re not a charity. We treat our own people like shit, don’t expect to be treated better.

Much of the world is already VERY accustomed to the US treating it like shit

Feel free to spend a trillion dollars on your own DoD annually. Then you don’t need the US anymore. I’d be happy if we stopped policing the world as much as anyone else. And we could maybe spend our taxes on something more productive and useful to the people.

Just because the US spends so much on defence is not evidence that level of spending is required
