If you read the U.S. Constitution you'll see that there is no place in this nation for a permanent standing army of a substantial size.

The army was supposed to be comprised almost entirely of state militias that were called up when Congress issued a formal declaration of war.

Those days ended when state militias were disbanded after the Civil War.

Now we're just like any other fading empire.

Well no chance of us going back to isolationism after WWII.

The globalists said, “See, told you so”, when they blamed WWII on the US’ isolationism after WWI and the US refusal to join The League Of Nations.
