Comment on dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US?

  The relationships we have with these countries aren’t sustainable. This is how our relationships work. We are their military. They buy US manufactured weapons and we build military bases on their land so if they are invaded American soldiers will be killed and the US will be forced into war. In return they have very small militaries and are able to pay for things like universal healthcare and free college for their people. Problem is the amount these countries said they would pay they don’t. Our advantages: 1. We can close the hundreds of military bases all over the world and bring our people home and stop paying to run them. 2. With the amount of money saved we can offer better services to our people(if you can get past the corruption)

    Wow you really have no real understanding of what you’re talking about about. You’re just spouting confident nonsense with not real-world backing. I’m not even going to argue with you I’ll just link this: wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning–Kruger_effect

      Let me ask you a simple question. Why does America pay to build and run hundreds of military bases and military outposts all over the world? Financially why does America do that?
