??? Germany and SK cannot afford to build and buy the best military equipment available? We shouldnt be at either country, including Japan.
You’re welcome to your opinion. I disagree.
The U.S. being present in all three places made it very clear that if someone tried anything, the U.S. would be immediately involved. It made it clear the decision to go against the local nation would men a declaration of war against the U.S.
We faced on world war in 1917 and another twenty years later.
We have had relative peace for 60 to 70 years in those locations.
That’s quite good considering.
During that time we have spent far far less than we would have if we had been involved in a WWIII by now, and the last time we left Germany unattended, look what happened.
