Perfectly true. We pay billions and billions to our “allies” and our enemies, and we get practically nothing in return.
It made sense to help Europe recover from the Second World War, but we never figured out when to start cutting back. So we defend Europe, and they use the money to run socialist regimes and import terrorists. Great way to spend money we no longer have.
The same thing goes on all over the world.
It’s not a question of deserting our allies—which Obama has done if anyone has. It’s a matter of getting them to pay their fair share.
How much does the U.S. pay for NATO?
Ditto that.
