I quite agree, these people look at a globe and do not see national boundaries they see markets, avenues of commerce, airports, media centers.

Extreme examples include George Soros but even the Bush family, although to a much lesser degree, see the world in international terms moving toward a supranational government.

So Barack Obama sees no threat to the United States because he does not see the United States as an entity except as it presents an obstacle to the onrush of socialism and one world socialist utopia. The Chinese, at least, are nationalists because they are also racists but that is another story.

So in the context of our discussion, the internal morale of the United States over the course of decades is a far more important factor for our national security than the number of aircraft carriers sailing in harms way.

I agree with you about morale, but I want our flat tops available. IMO I think they are well worth it.
