Thanks for the response , Isacc . I'll only address the first paragraph since I'm in agreement with your domestic " agenda " .
What is wrong with us stepping back and letting Russia and China go at it ? Or do you think the paranoid Russians would lose their fear of China and form a real alliance capable of doing us harm ?
Granted , there would be a global upheaval of some magnitude if we leave troops only in those nations which are historically our allies , but I'd rather see us " managing the aftermath " than continue down the " nation building , global policeman " route .
Our nuclear subs provide the only real deterrant we need for Russia or China .
We could buy a strip of land along our southern border and give it to the jews provided they get out of the Middle East .
Solve two big problems that way .
