      If I’m not mistaken, the US spends more on military than the rest of NATO combined. How do you imagine a military engagement against the US would end for us?

      We’re a bit busy protecting ourselves from the US.

      You Americans can fix your own damn problems.

          Hint: Germans didn’t fix it by themselves.

          Of course, but the rest of the world didn’t take those actions until after the German military moved into several other countries. And that action was done in the defense of those other countries as much as it was to spank the Germans.

          Nobody is coming to the US to save the US from itself. Things will have to get a helluva lot worse before that happens.

          And it won’t be done to rescue the Americans, it will be intended to beat them into submission.

          Plus, the rest of the world remembers that the Americans didn’t help us in WW2 until the war finally came to their shores, after the rest of us had been fighting for 3 years.

            You might be surprised to find out some parts of Asia were fighting even earlier than that.

      Sorry mate, that’s on you. Your founding padres even told you that unless you water your tree of liberty you might not keep your republic (paraphrasing Jefferson and Franklin here).

        These fuckers were supposedly accepting gunning down children every once in awhile because “guns are needed to resista tiranny”. Lmao.
