How does it feel to live in some irrelevant European country with no real power?
Reminder that the rest of the world only exists by the grace of America, if we wanted to we would have the power to enslave every country besides China and Russia (we could team up with them to rule the world)
Japan. Also fighting against insurrectionists in occupied territories is infinitely harder than fighting an organized nation state with a military. Iraq had one and it got absolutely BTFO in a few weeks during the Gulf War

>Russia, which has an economy smaller than Canada, manages to have a modern and capable military that is one of the best in the world for 4.1% of the GDP >Canada has a military flying used planes from the 1980's and helicopters from the 1960's for 1.2% of GDP and is a completely obsolete military except for some elite units This is what being a burger proxy and having a completely colonial mindset does to you tbqh
Americans and Europeans are friends. We make fun of each other like all friends do
Ryan Powell
the US military 'abandoning' Europe would straight up be the best possible timeline
typical american retard logic
Colton Roberts
It would be abandonment, we don't even ask for anything in return

>Facing a technologically superior foe, the Acehnese resorted to guerrilla warfare, particularly traps and ambushes. Dutch troops retaliated by wiping out entire villages and murdering both prisoners and civilians >In Hurgronje's analysis of Acehnese society, he minimised the role of the Sultan and argued that attention should be paid to the hereditary chiefs and nobles, the Ulee Balang, who he felt could be trusted as local administrators. However, he argued, Aceh's religious leaders, the ulema, could not be trusted or persuaded to co-operate, and must be destroyed.
Conventional military power is outdated and irrelevant. Soft power is what matters. Getting what you want without killing someone. You know what I mean?
36% of their gdp in military?! Use the guns for something and make a fucking revolution ffs
Lincoln Price
Can't you read? It's based on global factors. GLOBL FACTORS. Got it?
Jace James
36% of global military spending. We spend 3% gdp on the military
Owen Gomez
Why Brazil needs a military? Will we fight against who? Bolivia?
Jacob Harris
yourself
Dominic Young
3% is still insanely high for a country with such a high GDP. The US military is literally an artificial job provider for the dumb and uneducated. That's unironically something communist countries would do but somehow you accept it as normal.
You're right I just saw 36% percent and commented straight away.
Jason Jenkins
I'll take that sacrifice over having to rely on other countries for protection.
Daniel Hall
Who cares. How does """you""" having that huge ass army make your personal life any better? Still the same shitty problems: healthcare, obesity, college, high crime rate, etc.
What soft power do you have when half the world won't talk to ya and the other half gives you the evil eye? Yes we can get the U.S.A to pump some money into us and defend us from U.N resolutions but that's not nearly enough reach.
Thomas Adams
> soft power
Oxymoron
Austin Brown
We are not your allies. Fend against who? The USA?
Elijah Thomas
Against the Soviets but that is no longer a threat
Gabriel Hernandez
We were allies of the Soviets. Last two times Hungary was at war with Russia, the USA allied with them.
Parker Richardson
America is the root of evil. It's a threat today for Russia and its people.
Jordan Davis
Fascists deserve equal treatment to communists get fucked
Matthew Ramirez
Die, trash.
Brody Walker
Drugs & niggers
Matthew White
You first poor AIDS infested krokodil man
Bentley Jenkins
Come here and I choke you with my bare hands, swine.

>How does it feel to live in some irrelevant European country with no real power? Eh, we have enough power right now. It's not cost-efficient for anyone to invade us and that's all that we need. >Reminder that the rest of the world only exists by the grace of America, if we wanted to we would have the power to enslave every country besides China and Russia (we could team up with them to rule the world) Pretty sure we could wreck you too if we teamed up with China and Russia
Brandon Walker
Don't make me laugh. Once we tried to make friends with America and we still remember how it ended.
Ian Richardson
>would have the power >would
Juan Jackson
All that spending and America still has to negotiate peace with the taliban.
