re: #170 snowcrash

“Fortress America” is a basic paleocon principle. That is what you seemed to be advocating.

i’m not saying turn a blind eye to conflicts involving our allies, just let them provide for their own deterrents.

china loves the fact that america flushes billions down the drain every year protecting ungrateful nations. gives them more money to spend on developing their nation to overcome us, and in the end, take those ungrateful nations without even a fight.
