What I saw today was a Pelosi who backed off from the insanity of impeaching a political opponent who did nothing to deserve impeachment. I don't know what pundits will make of it, but impeachment should never have been threatened by a person who has no compunctions about lying to the public, since he would not reveal the alleged "leaker" who made yet more false claims against President Trump, and who may himself be subject to disciplinary action for what he proffered as a solid case was nothing more than a political operative trying to insert a stiletto into the President's back without having to account to anybody for it.Which is why Afghanistan was over in a day.
If they could resist with stick and stones, no problem for Americans with high powered guns. All you need to do is to cause enough havoc in a big city and the tyrant is history with all legitimacy disappearing.
It was a different day when the Constitution was written. We could never defend ourselves without a standing military in place. Hell, somebody could shoot a rocket at us half way around the world and we'd only have minutes to say goodbye to each other. Our warplanes in the future will all be drones. Not only would they save lives,but would also be able to fly at top speeds since the there is no pilot to pass out.
Switzerland historically hardly has had a standing military, they seemed to avoid being invaded pretty well.... They also avoided a lot of their own being killed in war, or wasting a ton of funds on military.
Now, I understand the USA deterred Russia, still the USA spent a few years back more than Russia, China, India, Britain, Brazil, Pakistan and yada yada combined.
Switzerland is not a world power. And if something terrible would happen to them, who do you think they would call for help?
A lot of countries have a weak military because we are there. Being the world police is not a job created for Americans. It's just a job that was formed. And if we don't want to be the world police any longer, then think of who comes close to our strength that will take that job.
So we do spend a lot on military power. It's something other countries don't do, which is why they can afford things like socialized healthcare, and various other social goodies we don't have.
Now this is one joke of a position considering under the "greatest military" America is getting invaded like no other country.
Well, the only thing that could defeat a military as strong as ours is liberalism unfortunately. Liberalism is worse than cancer. The Communists wrote long ago that they will take over this military strength called the USA. But they will do so without one bullet being fired. They will takeover from within. It's what we are witnessing today.
