That makes no sense, especially when you consider we're the ones placing the puppet governments around the world.

I’m not disagreeing with you. I’m saying if it wasn’t us it would be Russia or China doing the same to us. That’s what the Cold War was. A geopolitical posturing race post WWII. If we are not involved in WWII it’s even easier for whoever would have come out on top

China was behind the 8 ball not really being an industrial power in WWII. Hence being boxed in by the victor of the post war power struggle. Whether by lack of means or by choice if you sit out someone else will always be making moves on the chessboard.

If we cut our military budget in half tomorrow the EU nations’ would shoot up immediately
