NATO is fuckin useless tbh. Wish we'd pull out of it so we could laugh at all the socialist countries in europe scramble trying to balance no longer having bIG dADDY Usa fronting for them in conflicts with all the money they pour into dem programz. Maybe then all those new graduates academia is churning out with chicano studies degrees wouldn't cum all over themselves over norway's (or whatever) "$25" min wage.
USA shouldn't have instigated the whole anti-establishment in the middle east to begin with, even though some of the middle eastern countries had oppressive systems, let the people start the revolution and THEN move in to help.
It's a whole lot easier to radicalize uninformed youth and push your devious agenda when you got bombs falling on your head and somewhere to point your fingers.
Easy for me to be captain hindsight now, but point is USA got a big part of the responsibility for that mess, and pulling out now would be extremely bad for your international relations.
The money saved from the war wouldn't have make any difference for the minimum wage in America, it would have went straight back into the pockets of the top 1% again.
The difference between poor and rich in America is absurd, I'm not saying you should be Scandinavia 2.0, but a move in that direction would definitely help people not get cucked by the system while the rich get richer.
Anyone who thinks Donald Trump gives two fucks about the average americans best interests while Bernie Sanders wants to turn America into a communist country are fucking deluded.
The whole anti-immigrant thing isn't even the main focus, it's just an easy way to gain votes from the weak and scared who is afraid of anything that doesn't look or act exactly like themselves, just take a look at the most recent European elections, that strategy has worked wonders. Apathy and anxiety is slowly taking over the western world.
