      They aren’t even playing world police.

      Playing world police would be doing things like helping Venezuelans.

      I guarantee you, every modern instance you can think of where America is “playing world police” is actually a calculated effort to maintain its global interests. Or at least, the global interests of its ruling class.

    Ehh, instead work with the EU & UK and offer their logistics network so they can handle Ukraine, secretly provide Taiwan nuclear warheads & start a Cuban missile crisis 2 & force a real conversation.

    Pacific too risky? Expand A2AD capabilities to Asian allies en masse, it’s gonna all be defensive wars after all

    We (Americans) should not basically have to pay for their defense

      I didn’t realize that China had put nuclear missiles so close to the US, similar to the way the US put missiles in Turkey, where are they?

    What is Russia going to do? All of their best military units are already dead both in terms of hardware and personnel.

    The Russians have already gone up against Western hardware and lost so we’ve essentially had a preview of the war except no Western forces have been engaged in that war. So apparently Russia is going to attack an enemy who is at full fighting strength when they themselves are severely depleted and are actually at this very moment relying on drafting.
