Our true allies are in Eastern Europe along with Italy and Austria among others.

The UK is not what it once was during the 1940s. They were at one with us then. But British people who are old enough to have lived through the WW2 era were of a much higher caliber than now.
Who are our true allies in Eastern Europe? Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Poland? You can have those and I'll take the UK, Germany and France.

You'd better look behind you because more than half of America will be on the other side, against dictatorship.
Yeah, in your dreams. That ‘half’ are a bunch of snowflakes without knowledge of defending anything. They were the ones spitting on us when we returned from war while they were here in the world enjoying their protests. My half will be ready to defend the president & the country. Which dictatorship could you be referring to........you haven’t been watching msnbc have you??

The U.S. still has the most wealth of any nation on earth. Doesn't it make sense that we would buy more from poorer countries than they buy from us? of course, our extreme inequality changes this significantly.

Ob@m@ doubled the national debt to 20 trillion so how are we so wealthy?

Trump believes in fair trade, not free trade. Canada has all kinds of tariffs against us; already discussed the one about milk and the dairy tariff in Canada is something like 275%. The Germans are richer than we are and they have all kinds of tariffs. I am for pulling our troops out of Germany and telling the Russians to stay out of Poland.

What about Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan?

Anyone who wants to make money.

Why can Canada, EU, and China protect their products but if we do it its awful?
We can but we need to make changes in the right way through diplomacy. By blasting out edicts to our allies we alienate our previous supporters.

I agree that our allies should do more to make the world safe but Trump is alienating them. They aren't willing to take his insults. Meanwhile he's cozying up to our enemy Russia.

They have been screwing us for decades. We should be upset with them for screwing us. They should not be upset with us for saying NO MORE.

There you go with the cold war mentality FTW.

"Our enemy Russia" --do you believe the MSM on that junk?

What about China? It's more of an enemy than a friend.

The German army is weaker than a paper tiger. They want a free ride so they can live the sweet life. The last that I heard we killed a couple of hundred Russians in Syria. We are trying to disarm Russian ally North Korea. I myself have long posted about Russian military presence in Cuba. Romney told Ob@m@ that Russia is the number one threat to world peace.

I agree about China. I suppose since Russia elected Trump you now think they're our friend? Wrong.

I'm not interested in America being the "Master of the Universe" by starting more meaningless wars like Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq. Pogo, that great cartoon philosopher said: "I have seen the enemy and they are us."

[Rom 12:17 KJV]
Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

[Rom 12:18 KJV]
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

[Rom 12:19 KJV]
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather] give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

[Rom 12:20 KJV]
Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

[Rom 12:21 KJV]
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

I don't know what your point is because you accused Trump of getting close to Russia but Russia has provided North Korea, a fellow communist state, with missiles. Also, Russia recently gave Cuba thirty billion dollars and docked a spy ship in the Havana Harbor. And Trump says that our last attack on Syria killed a couple of hundred Russian military so you should retract your careless statement about the USA and Russia.

Also, our so-called allies of the UK, Germany, and France, for example, have been playing us for fools with NATO and trade. Germany, especially, has a military with almost no equipment that works and Germany has never paid their fair share of NATO. I think that we should treat Germany as about as much a friend as Turkey is. Merkel does not even bother to hide her hatred of the USA and May is the friend of no one.

As for your concept of military strategy, it was Democrats like you who got us into VietNam and who voted also for Iraq and Afghanistan and it was Democrats like you who wanted those wars lost.

Ok, so you're on your own now with this President. None or your former allies including the UK will lift a finger next time a loony flies a plane into one of your building. You stand alone. If that's what you want, fine... but don't come whining to the rest of us when the inevitable happens.
OK but wont it work both ways?
