No. I don't think 911 would have happened if we did not have a base in Saudi Arabia. Do you?

You don't see this as making us look weak?


Did we look weak when our spending levels were are 2001 levels before we got involved in all the wars?

Look weak to who? Only a fool would think the holders of the largest nuclear weapon stockpile in the world was weak. Only a fool would think the nation with the largest navy by far is weak.

You can't complain about big government and then advocate for defense spending to carry out far flung wars and military actions that have nothing to do with our defense.

Only a fool would think we would use our "largest nuclear weapon stockpile in the world" to stop an invasion by Russia of a country in Eastern Europe. In fact, only a fool would even mention the possibility as a sign of our strength.

Only a crazy leader/government would actually consider using a nuclear weapon. No super power is going to be threatened by another super power with nuclear weapons. No one would win a nuclear war.
