So you are good with cutting military spending? just making sure im hearing


you correctly. as a fervent Trump supporter that makes no sense. Military spending is HIGH on Trump's list as shown by his increase in spending.

here is the rub though. if you want to go it alone and alienate and get rid of all of your allies, then you better spend A LOT on your military. That's why NK spends so much on their military. they have no true allies; so, if they get attacked, they need a powerful military to protect themselves. everyone in NATO is protected by everyone else. that's how treaties work. in other words, we watch their backs and they watch ours. that way no one country is alone and has to wreck their economy by overspending on the military. the US has CHOSEN to spend the amount we spend.
