I love Ron and now he's an adviser to Elon Musk and DOGE.

We have truly come full circle.

[Secret Agent Man]

Oh this would be so effing marvelous.

[RandFan]

Some powerful interests are not going to be happy with all this

[Secret Agent Man]

The worlds sugar daddy has decided to close their onlyfans account. Of course the world is gonna be unhappy.

[9YearLurker]

Strange bedfellows!

So marvelous until your navy can no longer defend your trade routes because there are no ports open where you need them to be. Foreign aid gives us the ability to protect critical supply lines and the ability to avoid the modern day equivalent of having the capital burned down and ports blockaded by superior naval powers.

Drones are changing the way we project power but for the moment, the supply lines are still insured by the USN.

[no-to-illegals]

Agree. We need to pick and choose wisely.

“Foreign aid gives us the ability to protect critical supply lines”

If true—and it is debatable—let us just bribe the foreign leaders directly—and call them bribes.

At a minimum we need some honesty.

That would be great because we’ve all heard about the money sent as humanitarian aid that NEVER gets beyond the corruptocrats that run the country.

[metmom]

That’s right. The gravy train of kickbacks will be stopping.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Not relevant. The real power is in the boomers, and they don't make ports of call.

[Regulator]

You mean the supply lines bringing us oil that we could have extracted here if not for insane restrictions on drilling, or the lines bringing us manufactured goods from China that we used to manufacture here?

When you make what you need at home, it’s amazing all the things you DON’T have to do.

[Regulator]

Troo dat

[MikeSteelBe]

If you are going Bronson, can I go Eastwood?

[RandFan]

I am saddened to see some defenders of aid here!!

This is a no brainer I thought.

[Magnum44]

Some recents events have me in 100% agreement. No more charity.

I was taught as a young officer that our foriegn policy was backup up by three things, political power, economic power, and military power. Military power being the last resort, the first two were supposed to be wielded to the best interests of the United States.

Today we do not wield political or economic power to our own best interests. If we can’t do that, then just cut it off.

[Trump_Triumphant]

He’s absolutely right.

[Kudsman]

Perfect.

[Kudsman]

Start with Mexico.
