Yeah. I already figured that part out. You left out "yet". Keep voting Dem.
You are fatigued. I suggest a siesta.

You are an idiot.
A strong America is better than all those places combined.

Do many of our alliances need restructuring and more input from our partners? Yes. But pretending that we don’t benefit from having allies and from being able to forward position our military half a world away is pure folly.
It’s a stupid use of money.

WW1, WW2, WW3, probably, but I don't see Russian tanks plowing through the German countryside anytime in the near future.
Perhaps not. Would you like to guess why that is?
I wonder why Estonia and Latvia’s Russian minority regions aren’t the subject of infiltration and annexation like Ukraine’s Russian minority regions are? It probably has nothing to do with their NATO membership.

It’s pennies on the dollar compared to the money we waste domestically and in the Middle East. Pennies.

There is no yet. We were a signatory, and revoked it.
There is no political will on either side of the aisle to ratify it.

Tactical nukes.
If Russia took Estonia and Latvia, nothing would stop them.
I don't know enough about Crimera to provide a retort.

And the century of American imperialism that began in the late 19th century destroyed the Republic. It is no coincidence that the explosion in the size and power of the federal government is directly linked to our warmongering abroad. The idea that the United States has the moral obligation to forcibly remake the world in its own image is straight out of Trotsky's playbook. And good luck thinking you can use force to impose the Pax Americana abroad and not have that same government use force at home against its own citizens.

Wrong. They are NATO allies and we would break it off in Russia’s arse if they moved into the Baltic states.

No argument there

At no point have I ever said this. I don’t give a shite about moral obligations at the state level. That’s a farce.

Never said that either
Isolationism is no longer practical, viable, or in our best interest. Nothing to do with morals or American exceptionalism or anything else you mentioned

We should get out of the Middle East too.
The money we spend in Europe ends up subsiding their bad behavior. Berlin has twenty airworthy airframes? They can get away with that, because of our security umbrella.

Innumerable reasons. Global supply chains and financial markets for starters.

If by "break it off" you mean put severe sanctions on them then I guess you would be right.

American officials could have easily avoided both world wars if they had chosen to do so. It has nothing to do with extremely fake and gay "isolationism" memes, which was a propaganda term for warhawks that lives on in the minds of midwits across the country.
You would think that the rapid downward spiral of the post war West and America would be a huge friggin indicator for how catastrophic our participation in these wars actually was. Oh well.

They shouldn’t have bought those shitty Typhoons from airbus. Germany’s defense spending has been abysmal for decades now. I agree with you and have already stated so.
That does not mean that we don’t benefit from the alliance at all.
