Yes, let's borrow shekels we don't have to provide 'defense' to Israel, Ukraine, and god knows how many other States not represented on the American flag. It would be downright unpatriotic to not try and enslave Americans with more debt so we can try to keep this empire going, amirite? I mean, 25+ years of bombing the Middle East has almost produced paradise, we'd be fools to stop now! Over 26,000 bombs dropped last year. Shekels indeed!
Is Trump proposing a ground war? No.
What you folks NEVER seem to grasp, is that there will be a hegemon nation on planet earth.

I don’t want Russia or China to be devising and implementing their global wet dream, at our expense.
If they were given the green light on that, the expenses we incur today would be peanuts compared to the fix we’d have to institute later, if would even be possible to fix no matter what we spent.
Guess who would have to pay that bill, and suffer the consequences of global non-engagement for a few decades.
