Re: Rambling thoughts about the US military

Human rights doesn't seem like a US interest now that we torture people.

Free trade doesn't require armed forces, nor does making India an ally.

Re: Rambling thoughts about the US military

Iran, Syria, and Pakistan aren't a threat to the US. Are they going to invade us? Are they going to stop selling oil to us? No. They are a threat to Isreal, but not America.

Re: Rambling thoughts about the US military

Assuming we reduced the American armed forces by 80%. Maintained only a national guard and a single aircraft carrier group.

Who would invade us?

Why would they do it?

How would they do it?...

Re: Rambling thoughts about the US military

Except for China, I don't think we really care too much about everyone on that list of yours. And China doesn't neceessarily have to be an enemy.

I'm not trying to be combative with you, I'm just trying to understand what your thinking or saying.

I can't tell from your post.

Re: Rambling thoughts about the US military

I think you meant this for the thread we were having. Replied to the wrong one by accident.

Usually, you summarize what you though was informative, if there was something.

Re: Rambling thoughts about the US military

On a moral front it's the right thing to do, but lets say we don't care about that.

The invasion of Taiwan would show that China is not content to simply trade and be prosperous. That it has...

Re: Rambling thoughts about the US military

The only reason for the US military to maintain its massive scale is to defend Taiwan, but this can be done much more effectively with nuclear weapons. So why do we spend all this money?

Re: Rambling thoughts about the US military

People will trade with us regardless of any military presence. Do you actually think Japan trades with us because we have troops in Okinawa. And if it is a pre-requisate, why do they trade with...

Re: Rambling thoughts about the US military

What next war? There are no more wars. We have nuclear weapons. Why doesn't anyone understand this? Conventional warfare is a thing of the past.
