The US is bordered by friendly nations on the north and south, oceans on the east and west, and has a stockpile of thousands of potentially world ending nukes. You could cut the pentagons budget down to the price of a big Mac and fries and nobody would be able to invade.
Sir have u heard of plane or perhaps boat?
Yes. Have you heard of fuel and supply chains? D-day nearly failed, and the allies had a staging ground right across the channel. Turns out amphibious assaults against an entrenched enemy are really hard.
Not if they are defenceless except for a big mac.
They're not. The US has as many privately owned guns as it does people. The idea behind arming the populace was (drumroll please) to repel foreign invasions.
Also, the military weapons we've stockpiled for decades, making up the largest armory in the world by a wide margin, aren't going to vanish into thin air if you cut the pentagons budget.
Finally, if the US faced an existential threat they'd unload on the aggressor with nukes.
Nobody's going to invade the mainland US. They'd be stupid to try and they'd end up getting wiped out.
As someone who doesnt live in the use who relies on there global dominance for freedom they better keep selling us weapons.
You could fund your own defense, so we could get some of the social programs you're always throwing in our faces.
Ahh thats just the thing we give money to the Americans they send us weapons. Both our and ur weapons are cheaper because economy of scale. You lack of basic human rights stems from your nations complete moral, ethical, social, economical, and political corruption. U are already allocating the money for social benefits its just all getting lost in the pipeline of corruption. Look at the homelessness and prison system what breed of retarded decided to have economic incentives for both those.
Know what would be even cheaper? Not making weapons to carry our allies who refuse to pay their fair share
This is literally trumps talking point about NATO congradulations.
The man talks non stop, he was bound to be right about something eventually
