The point that was missed in the article is that we have too many unnecessary commitments and have not have enough money to do it. We can’t and should not be the world’s policeman (or policewoman if you would like to call it that). We cannot solve all the world’s problem by ourselves when we have enough of our own. And now we are solving problems by borrowing money from other entities. This thing has to stop. You know there is a saying that “Charity begins at home”. We should follow this saying and starting fixing our problems before we try to solve others.
China is trying to solve its problems first like poverty and hunger and infrastructure, even it moves to make itself militarily stronger. Although I know that as being a superpower we need to be responsible and take our share of the burden, but we will be stronger if we take care of our house first. Take for example, the cold war is finished, done with and we still continue to have our forces in Germany and Japan- What for May I ask?
Do we still expect the Warsaw Pact to come invading the western side of the free world?
People of all strides now we don’t have Warsaw Pact. People got sick of them and got rid of it. There is no Checkpoint Charlie dividing the East and West Germany but we keep on having thousand of troops to do what-intriguing question. I don’t think anybody significant has raised this point. The prosperous Europe that we see right now is the fruit of the American public, which is already drowned in debt. How can we keep on insisting on having our forces in Europe when there is no need to keep it there with our finances in mess? Even if we see the need, do we need that massive presence there?
