There are OTHER considerations.

Of course, the isolationists have plenty, most of them not worth serious thought.

"Of course, the isolationists have plenty, most of them not worth serious thought."

I'm not sure of your point. Because Germany and other western European countries have brought on their own demise through insane immigration and socialist policies, we must continue to defend them? Against what? - Russia? For what? - NATO?

Pres. Trump's reduction is a clear message to Germany and other NATO members to start pulling their own weight. Germany is one of the richest, if not the richest, nations in Europe. I vote pull even more out. They've been free-loading off us long enough while importing countless rapists, murderers, thieves, etc.

Also, why the Truman didn't make Germany, Italy, and Japan territories or protectorates is beyond me. Whatever happened to the "spoils of war"? Just think if they were US territories like Guam, Puerto Rico, Marianna Islands, Virgin Islands, Samoa, the incredible resources and power the US would have. Iraq/Aftganiscrap are the most recent. I'm tired of our children dying and being maimed for no damn reason other than promoting our ideals that they don't want.

Disclaimer: I am in no way an isolationist. I firmly believe we should stay engaged with allies, try to build more, and especially maintain our seat on the Security Council of the UN.
