Zone1 military spending on longlasting/endless wars while people suffer cripplingly high food and gas prices : should we just vote no to all that?

What would your policy be with regards to the war in teh Ukraine?

I have stated it many times. When Ukraine said they were going to seek NATO membership I would have stated that the US was going to live up to and abide by their previous agreements there.

No eastward expansion of NATO.

Was there anything in writing regarding no westward expansion of NATO? Pretty sure there was not.
 
So you're admitting you don't know.

Westward? No, I was not a part of any agreement. I know we agreed to no Eastward expansion.

Do you have a point or just rambling mindlessly?
 
Did you vote for Jorgenson in that election also?

I wrote in Mises.
 
The U.S. had no control over France or Czechoslovakia. In fact the Czechs were a Soviet client state.

Never said they did, I said France was their main allies until they bowed out and LBJ stepped in. The Czechs' role in selling them ammo and weapons is well documented, and they were paid in gold. Stalin had to approve the deals, but it was the Czechs who wanted the deal; they were starved for foreign exchange and trade, as were all of the Soviet client states. Most of the money to buy the arms with came from the U.S. My grandfather had a peripheral role in loading up 3 freighters here, but the Govt. seized two of them. Two of my uncles were going to go and fight there, but the war ended before they could get the gear together and find a way over.



And of course the Czechs were selling arms to both sides.


Syria bought from Czechoslovakia a quantity of arms for the Arab Liberation Army but the shipment arrived in Israel due to Haganah intervention.[2]

It is a case of priorities

Global military power is a priority over domestic investment
The US spends 40 cents of every military dollar spent in the world
It comes at the cost of a crumbling infrastructure and healthcare and education being unaffordable for working families
We spend a lot on the military and I wish we spent more

Because democrats or republicans both involve the US in wars

And when they do I dont want more American kids to die because penny pinching libs cut spending needed for the best weapons

We need to cut back on being the worlds policemen

Nobody is going to invade us

Letting russia, china, iran and north korea control the world may please you, but not me

And, you can pretend that the US will never fight another war, but I’m not that naive
 
And when young Americans die for lack of better weapons your crocodile tears will flow

Really, this is your response?

I guess you are an old fuck that will be dead before the shit hits the fan so you just do not give a fuck the debt you are leaving those that will follow you.

At least I will stay and face the future in my own country
 
first Ukraine, and soon Taiwan too..?

trillions spent on destruction and reconstruction far away (and that's just Ukraine, after 1 year[1]), while people here (in the EU and in the US) need a lot better local economy.
don't top politicians have something better to do than to play with the lives of their voters and those living in far-away countries in such a "drunken" way??

[1] Russia’s War in Ukraine to Cost Global Economy $2.8 Trillion, OECD Says

Those who do not know their history, are condemned to repeat it. I suggest you start with the Treaty of Versailles, which ended WWII, and then read about the economic and geopolitical conditions which lead to the rise of right wing authoritarianism throughout the world, and to Hilter's attempt to take over the world, with his Axis Alliance of Germany, Italy, and Japan.

Then look at what WWII cost the "global economy", to rebuild France, Germany, Italy, Poland. Look at the millions killed in Stalin's atroocities, and millions more who died in the rise of Communism in China.

Look at the millions of people lost - over 15 million military personnel killed, and more than 38 million civilians killed. The history of European civilization is the periodic attempts of some madman trying to take over the continent. We have Napoleon. Hitler, Stalin, and now Putin. The 60 years of peace in Europe which ended in 2012 when Putin invaded the Crimea, is the longest period in written history when there have been no wars in Europe.

Then get back to us, about how the most important thing happening in the Ukraine, here is the cost to the global economy, and boo hoo about the inflation it's causing.
