On that we will need to agree to disagree. We the people need a strong defense but for the USA only, not for the world.
Premptive wars are aka crony capitalism, where the rules can be bent not for America, but for those who benefit. It is about those that have who get more because taxpayers are forced to subsidize them. Wrong...you make a bet on a business and if you fail, you take the loss not taxpayers. Capitalism is about risk/reward and not subsidies from taxpayers
Other countries that wish to utilize our Dept of Defense should be subsidizing us, and not vice versa. We’re broke, remember.
I am talking about lunatics with nuclear weapons that have avowed to destroy a country. Preemption is a necessity because Iran will try to annihilate Israel. You are referring to a time when armies were necessary. I don’t get your connection to capitalism. In the case of Iran, it has NOTHING to do with business, but with RELIGION.
