      They aren't afraid because they know someone else will foot the bill in the unlikely case anyone wants to steal what they have (nothing worthwhile). And this is all just stupid posturing, we've seen how you're all wetting your pants at the thought of Trump destroying the current world order. You fear the end of leeching off US protection like grim death.

        What if? It'd be absolutely hilarious to see starlight "laughing" at the US as Ubersturmfuhrer Barron I The Destroyer marches his Death Legions into Auckland and puts every man, woman and child to the sword.

          Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies. There's no "this country" left with your immigration policies, your "allies" are worthless and even more suicidal than you are and democracy is a sick joke that I hope nobody ever thinks about repeating when the current order collapses. - Darth_Executor striking a conciliatory note in Civics 101

            You need to reconcile Trump asking the EU to defend itself (and how everyone was offended at that) with the idea that the USA protects not just itself but all of its allies.
            If it is true that we defend ourselves and all of our allies then the outsized military budget makes sense.
            If we aren't key to the defense of our allies (that is, they spend less because they know we have their backs) then why would they be offended at the USA backing away from that role?

            Maybe you can afford universal health care because we cover your defense costs?

                  Seriously. They are literally so terrified and afraid of the rest of the world that they feel the need to spend trillions on an excessively sized military to defend themselves from nobody.
                  It's called deterrence, you stupid little pansy. We protect the world. We have military bases on every continent. You don't see a New Zealand Air Force base in California, do you? Because you guys aren't capable of providing more than a couple dozen cooks for a joint force.

                  You guys are a bunch of pee-your-pants-at-the-thought-of-someone-even-looking-in-your-direction cowardly losers.
                  We've kicked behinds in nearly every conflict we've ever been in, and have led the way in all of them. It's super easy to insult from the rear, isn't it?

                  Seriously. That's seriously how I see America.
                  Well, you're a moron, so...

                  Whereas other countries say, "why do we even need a military? We're not afraid of anyone attacking us."
                  Neither was France afraid in WW1. Or Austria in WW2. Or Kuwait in 1990. No one expects to be conquered.

                  So countries like Iceland and Costa Rica literally disbanded their military because they aren't afraid.
                  Wow. Iceland and Costa Rica! Impressive! What did that do? Put like 15 people out of work?

                  ** Edit to add... Iceland welcomed the US Navy back to Naval Air Station Keflavik. http://www.dw.com/en/iceland-agrees-...ops/a-19369461
                  Costa Rica also relies on the US Coast Guard to patrol the waters around the tiny nation.

                  Whereas losers like you Bill who are sniveling cowards need to arm yourselves to the gills just to sleep at night without quivering in fear.
                  It isn't fear, stupid. It's a realization that there are very bad people in this world with guns and missiles who think what is yours should belong to them, and there are pansies like you who are too stupid to defend yourself and what is yours from those bad people. Reality is a bitch. And until you've seen it up close and first hand, like I have, you will forever remain an ignorant blowhard who sits on his well-worn posterior telling the ones who actually do the work why they are doing it all wrong.

                          Hence the NEARLY, and even then, we won.

                          I meant to type WW2... After allying with Poland and Czechoslovakia, they didn't think they would be conquered. They fortified the Maginot Line, and assumed that would suffice. They simply didn't expect to be overrun, and relied on old technology. they didn't spend the money to keep their military formidable, and lost to those that did.

                                The reason other Western countries aren't afraid of being attacked is because they know the "pee-your-pants-at-the-thought-of-someone-even-looking-in-your-direction cowardly losers" will defend them thanks to the trillions we spend on our "excessively sized military".
