The part the left doesn’t understand is that without the military, a nation has little influence. They are really idiot enough to believe that they can talk, talk, talk their enemies to death, à la modern day Europe.
In reality, when all is said and done, the entity willing to use force will call the shots.
Actually I think they total understand that. They want an America that is weak and has little influence in the world. It makes them feel good about themselves.
