Someone will fill the void, whether it's Russia who are emboldened by Trump's rhetoric or China who predict that Trump will reduce America's standing and promote anti-American sentiment, leaving the door open for them. "Stop meddling with world affairs" is a fairly funny way to describe his plans of ripping up the Iran deal.

How would a gridlocked US administration be anything other than damaging? Originally Posted by Revik

The EU already spends a reasonable amount of their collective GDP. They have the second most well funded military in the world, next to only the US. Originally Posted by Tijuana

Good lord, what are they spending it on? If you don't have aircraft carriers, how can you call yourself a viable military? Originally Posted by Tyrianth

American wealth does not scare me, I work in financial services, the US is a source of wealth just as the EU is. Originally Posted by Kangodo

Most European forces are defensive in nature, only the UK, France and, to a lesser extent, Italy care about force projection. Originally Posted by Tijuana

Not unilaterally no. As for meddling with world affairs, it's pretty impossible not to in a globalized world, especially as a superpower. Whether you want to abandon that position is up to you, as I said, someone will fill the void. Originally Posted by Revik

It is unfortunate but things have been gridlocked for awhile and with Trump who isn't even liked within his own party I can only imagine even worse gridlock. I too would like to see the world prosper but I also believe the world is in need of a correction. I truly believe the US can no longer continue down this course of huge military spending. This is why we need other counties our allies help maintain order throughout the world. Originally Posted by Kalis

Your link shows the UK has none. What's your point? Originally Posted by Kujako

Not really. They want America to continue policing the world until it falls apart because it would make them feel better about their sad, low-energy countries full of diverse migrants bringing multiculturalism to their women. Originally Posted by Revik

So you think the US is responsible for your governments to go "Welcome Refugees! You ALL can enter."? Originally Posted by Djalil

Actually, it shows two under construction. You know, spending money on aircraft carriers.... Originally Posted by Tijuana
