re: #43 Fozzie Bear

Why is it always our responsibility, and nobody else’s? The US isn’t made of money and disposable resources.

Sure, it would be nice if we had infinite troops and money to just play global superhero state for awhile, but we just can’t do it. We don’t have the money for this shit any more.

To quote P.J. O’Rourke (from 1991) — “You say we’re not the world’s policeman… so who are you going to call? Sweden?”
