Wow...88% for defense spending cuts so far in this poll...that is encouraging.

I guess the neocon's have not seen this thread yet.


Me...I would cut spending by half, mothball half the fleet, bring all the troops home immediately, close virtually all foreign bases and end all military assistance to other countries.

In short...a Neocon nightmare.

And when Putin runs over an original NATO member, what would be your response?

Depends on the situation, the country, the time, the reasons and at least a half-a-dozen other variables.

But generally, if Russia invaded another NATO country, then obviously NATO (which America is part of) would defend that country and I think the EU alone is stronger militarily then Russia...conventionally.

But I see the chances of Russia doing that are near zero...and I don't really care if you disagree, no offense.

Good day.

Good evening bubba. I've been on an extended break and only checking in rarely. I hope all is well with you...
 
I support cuts across the board. Less money in the hands of the government means less waste and more power in the people's hands.

When the Ukraine voluntarily gave up its nukes, it was assured by both the US and Russia that it would be defended against any aggression. How has that worked out?
 
What is it now? What would if be if Romney was POTUS. Let me help you, exactly the same.

Did anyone mention Romney? If you have something constructive to add, please do so...

I could care less what some idiot POTUS before me agreed to.

Were I POTUS, I do what I think is best for America...and if that means cancelling EVERY stupid agreement the bozo's before me signed, so be it.

The Ukraine is Ukraine's business...no one else's.

If Russia gets pushy, let the EU take care of it...it's their backyard.

If they need help, they can ask. If I think it's in America's best interest to help, I will. If I don't, I won't.

It is convenient.

Honoring treaties that do not benefit America is asinine, IMO.

It's their mess, let them clean it up for once.

I would not have reneged on our agreements to supply anti missile systems to eastern european nations. I would not leave a nation we had promised to protect subject to an invasion without consequences. Crimea was one thing, as it appears the takeover was invited, but that is not the case in the remainder of eastern Ukraine...
 
Well yes, I suppose WWIII would be a brilliant move. Glad you aint POTUS.

Where would you suggest Putin be stopped, or should he be allowed to do as he wishes?
 
The USA puts more resources into the military than any other nation in the history of the world. Over a ten year period I would cut military spending by about 2/3 and close most of our overseas military bases and facilities and close many of our domestic bases and facilities. We have well over 300 military bases, plus dozens of aircraft carriers and submarines and 7,700 nuclear weapons. We can destroy the whole planet several times over.

Cut it by at least half and use that money to pay down the debt.


Of course, "cut it by half" is half more than I'd be willing to spend on a lot of things...

Cutting it in half sounds great...to be sure. And the 20-30 million military, civilian, contractor, support, and other personnel...well...its not like unemployment would be a problem. To say nothing of the devastation to local economies across the country.

'cutting' isnt a simple proposition. It can be done...but not without some real thought.
