We've got foreign interests meddling in our elections, China manipulating our economy, Dictators trying to dictate to us, and allies advancing on us and making us choose between them and a smaller weaker ally. It's time to **** or get off the pot. It's time we take our "ally" and beat him bloody, and hold his broken form up to the rest of the world and say stop ****ing with us. This is what we do to our allies. Imagine what we'll do to you.
And let's be clear, NATO needs us more than we need them. So let em bitch, whine, whatever. They aren't going to risk losing our funding, hardware, and manpower protecting them.
And here's a thought, move our **** out of Turkey before they seize it.
As far as Russia goes, they won't do ****. And if they do, bring it. Putin needs a tune up.
And if everyone agrees that we would lose with a power like Turkey, then maybe we should stop spending so much money on an inferior force. If all we get for our dollar is a flashy military only good for intimidating goat herders and bombing civilians, then it's time we divert that spending to something useful. And stop pretending like we are the greatest country on the planet.
I'm tired of walking quietly and carrying a big stick, where has it gotten us? Trillions in debt, enemies on all sides, and allies taking from us and testing how far they can push us. It's time to use the stick.
