No. Next question.

Because the U.S. without allies is stronger than the U.S. with allies?

As currently constructed the US doesn't have allies...we are infected with parasites. NATO is completely one sided. The Europeans scoff at us, criticize us and blame us for everything wrong in the world, all the while demanding that we defend them at any cost should the need arise. Screw that!

[Lurker]

The US will be stronger with allies who actually blow the dust off their checkbooks once or twice a century.

There is a difference between one-sided obligations and allies. Most of the Euro-weenies are obligations and burdens. Britain is an ally.

Becayse the US without foreign entanglements is better off that the US with foreign entanglements.
Besides, we spend more on defense than the next 10 countries combined. Just what does the rest of Europe bring to table? Bases in a war we don’t want to fight?

Since the allies have welcomed with open arms invaders and have refused to defend themselves, yes. Besides that, a US without allies that defends itself from invasion would be stronger than we are now.

We've never answered what should've been the first problem that needed to be solved....why were all of those Saudis involved with 911 were in the US illegally, and what were we going to do to keep the US safe from within.

Face it. Globalism is a disaster.

[Psalm 73]

"...Russia will always have to be watched....Germany will always have to be integrated into some sort of military alliance....the United States will always have a natural self-interest in preemptively keeping kindred Europeans from killing each other."

Great synopsis.
It does, though, need the adult to enforce the NATO rules - 2% GDP military expenditures and no autocracies allowed (Turkey).

If they were truly our allies they’d at least make an attempt to carry their own weight.

Every dollar we spend protecting them is another dollar they spend on welfare.

Why are we subsidizing the world’s welfare programs?

“Because the U.S. without allies is stronger than the U.S. with allies? “

Yes, because we pay for those allies to belong to NATO. NATO is the US and whenever we need their support we get lukewarm responses.
