so maybe it is time to cut back and work on providing safety to our country, firm borders and clean up our cities.
If the US cut it's defense budget back to Sweden levels...
*shudder*
well... lets just say that the bad guys wouldn't be cutting back their budgets.
The entire middle east would be occupied within a year by a Caliphate. South Africa would descend into perpetual war. Europe would then erupt in ethnic chaos forcing Russia to retake it's satellites. Africans would die of starvation by the 10’s of millions, China would almost immediately take over all of it's surrounding satellites forcing Japan to change it's constitution and ramp up military spending. And that's just for starters.
America is the only thing standing between the modern world and the abyss. Without America military spending... the whole world would enter a new dark ages and all democracies would be swept from the globe to be replaced by warring dictatorships.
