[QUOTE=NikolaTesla]1. Your military didn't do sh(i)te except pick off the crumbs the Russians left behind.[/QUOTE]
You mean the crumbs the Russian winter left behind? I keep hearing Russian, but I think we mean Russian winter.
[QUOTE=NikolaTesla]2. You're right that your financed the Allies. What you forget is that you also sold weapons to Mussolini's Italy and Hitlers Germany up until Pear Harbor (As well as Francos fascists during the Spanish Civil War). Great little money going scheme you had going. Yall were too scared to even enter Europe until 1944.......to busy fighting over coconuts with the Japanese and leaving the real fighting to the Russians.[/QUOTE]
Thankfully, Russia was able to secure a cease-fire with Japan so that they could focus on Germany alone, because had they not been able to transfer nearly all of their divisions from the East to the West (thus allowing Japan to concentrate solely on the US, which was Hitler's hope and plan all along), they'd have been ****ed.
Phew. Good move on their part. If they hadn't, they would have, without a doubt, lost Moscow.

[QUOTE=bdreason]Because when the World Economy collapses, and eventually it will, the U.S. will be able to take whatever they want, from whomever they want. That's the benefit of having tactical nukes pointed at every Country in the World.
I'm not saying I agree with Military spending, but it's pretty obvious the U.S. is positioning itself for the next World War.[/QUOTE]
Is this really what the American people believe?
Holy shit

[QUOTE=navy]Free healthcare doesnt exist and let's be honest, the united states military budget is unsustainable. The funny thing is that we could cut our budget and still be just as strong.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=ALBballer]You can hate Trump but he makes a good point that we are defending the rest of the world.
Germany, Japan, Italy, Denmark etc are spending 1-2% of their GDP on their military defense while the United States spends 3.5% of their GDP on military defense. Time to let the rest of the world fend for themselves especially these socialist European countries that are essentially receiving free protection allowing these countries to spend a larger portion of their GDP in terms of social services for their citizens.
Infrastructure sure but we already are near the top in the world in terms of education per student and it hasn't gotten us much.

Now I'm not sure what the answer is to improving education but I don't think throwing more money at the problem will fix the issue.[/QUOTE]
What exactly are you protecting us from? The only european country that have needed military help the last 10 years is Ukraine. How did that work out?
Protecting Europe lol. America and their greed is the reason for the refugee crisis

Im not sure if its greed or deliberate policy to divide Europe.

[QUOTE=kurple]It exists in Norway[/QUOTE]
No, it's not free. It comes at a price:
[QUOTE]Cost of living. Norway is among the most expensive countries in the world, as reflected in the Big Mac Index and other indices. Historically, transportation costs and barriers to free trade had caused the disparity, but in recent years, Norwegian policy in labor relations, taxation, and other areas have contributed significantly.
The future of the welfare state. Since World War II, successive Norwegian governments have sought to broaden and extend public benefits to its citizens, in the form of sickness and disability benefits, minimum guaranteed pensions, heavily subsidized or free universal health care, unemployment insurance, and so on. Public policy still favors the provision of such benefits, but there is increasing debate on making them more equitable and needs-based.[/QUOTE]
The US has 'free' healthcare too, it's called the VA. The people the ACA was designed for should have been thrown into that mess instead of having the rest of the country mold their lives around them.

Honestly, we should just pull out and leave the rest of the world to fend for themselves.
Outside of the UK, Israel, Japan, and Australia, everyone else can go **** themselves.

Does it matter who did what or when, for what reason?
At this point, not really.
God, that's a good line. I'm going to use that from now on.
