The USA is sending tens of billions overseas, even for would be enemies. Heck, we give Russia foreign aid. Why? Got me!!! Last I looked, we were giving Russia $150 million in aid.
I understand occupying Afghanistan, I don't Iraq. Iraq has plenty of revenue to build their military for defense, Afghanistan doesn't. We have been in both countries for nearly 20 years, and yet our so called training is not in evidence.
We have troops in 140 countries. Why? Makes no sense to me, unless those countries are paying for us to be there, starting with Germany. Germany, who year in and year out does not pay their fair share for NATO.
That is a popular expression of Wrecking Ball Joe, "fair share". He uses is frequently in reference to corporations paying taxes, and the rich. Well, I doubt we hear him bark at the nations of Europe that do not pay their fair share for NATO. He will have the USA taxpayers once again supporting the whole shibang again.
