What’s anti-American is fighting someone else’s wars for them at the expense of the tax paying American. We don’t win any wars anymore just funnel billions to the military industrial complex under pretenses of caring for some people.

Not quite how it works.

If Germany won ww2, there's nothing to say the USA would exist at all today.

Fighting wars abroad is much cheaper than fighting them at home.

The UN & those who participate have a mandate that territory cannot be taken by force. This collective agreement uses allies to enforce. It give the majority of power to the allies, which results in peace.

Russia and China are out to take territory by force. Any "peace" in ukraine is temporary without a change in leadership. Trump is more temporary than Putin or Jinpin.

The whole world would be buying US arms after seeing their effectiveness in Ukraine, that gives the US such an advantage, now Europe are going to produce a shitload more of their own, because they can't trust the US.

So while Russia and China are trying to remove the USD with mbridge as the default currency, a heap more countries look at the USD with increased liability.

I don't know why the maths is so hard.

This isn't a win for the US at any level.

Yes it’s cheaper but that don’t make them just. Millions die while US plays games. And why? What’s the point? Profit. Simple as that.

People say Putin will overtake Europe but they have a huge army and all the funding they need to thwart of Putin if need be. He sells energy to them so it makes no sense to wage war on Europe. They are geographic neighbors so it might make sense to make peace.

Western views are propaganda and fear driven a lot of times. We don’t need to be supporting NATO they did a good enough job funding themselves. The Arab states just want to be left alone and not looted and murdered.

US exports tech, we could still continue exporting weaponry for defensive purposes but not to a genocidal murderer who has violated every international law.
