And the moment the shit hits the fan they'll be expecting us to save them.
Actually, when the shit hits the fan, the US will find itself alone
And that means what????
What that means is in a global conflict, we cannot count on our allies to support us
Kind of like Bush's "Coalition of the willing" in Iraq except that Trump can't count on UK support
Tell me how we needed them again? Hell during the Nobel peace prize guys Libya war Great Britain had to rent one of our AWACs to protect their ships. And the socialist were so military poor they could only afford to fire off three tomahawk missiles..
And give me a break we don't need any of them..

What it means is ....when we want boots on the ground, those boots will be made in the USA
The Great Obama was successful in getting our allies to bear more of the burden in Egypt, Libya and Syria as well as an increased presence with Afghanistan
It means fewer US lives lost
More American lives were lost in Afghanistan under Barack Obama then were lost there under George W. Bush and HE had to invade a country! The Great Obama wasn't so great when it came to military tactics.
