You're not conservative if you believe the United States should police the world. You cannot rule by military might abroad and not bring that same force home domestically. American foreign policy since the end of WW2 has been a Trotskyist's wet dream.

hold the frick on, are you as a libertarian suggesting we bring military rule home? maybe i am confusing what you are saying

as far as the money being spent and being conservative....while i agree spending 70 billion is crazy that money was going to be spent either way between defense and foreign aide. annual foreign aide is 60 billion and the defense budget was 1.64 trillion :yak:

we have spent less than 6% of the defense budget and have destroyed the capabilities of the russian conventional force by over 50% and crippled our biggest historical(current #2 behind china) foe for decades to come.

not to mention we have 300 billion in frozen russian assetts we will be seizing when this is all over


this isnt even a policing action, its simply supplying weapons

now i have already said I think we see rampant corruption with the seized accounts. but that is a whole other issue
