I don’t think the RT would go for that.
Interesting point, but would have to disagree. Defense could continue to be a great revenue enhancer, adding to RT's tax base. As many bases as we have, I bet we could almost make it revenue neutral, meaning we are basically getting free defense. The US could continue to be a great ally, while allowing our way of life to be enhanced by keeping our taxes here, and keeping the socialist fingers of DC out of our business.
