excellent news.

Donald Trump has laid out a military policy which he says is aimed at ending “intervention and chaos” overseas. He promised to build up the “depleted” military, but said it would be done with prevention in mind, rather than aggression.

Speaking at the latest stop on his “thank you” tour of swing states, President-elect Donald Trump told a crowd in Fayetteville, North Carolina that he wants to “strengthen old friendships and seek out new friendships,” stressing that the US will “stop racing to topple foreign regimes that we know nothing about, that we shouldn’t be involved with.”

“We don’t want to have a depleted military because we’re all over the place fighting in areas that we shouldn’t be fighting in. It’s not going to be depleted any longer,” he said during the Tuesday event.

Finally, something out of the Dumpster that actually makes sense. Put a mark on the wall.

Re: Trump vows to end overseas ‘intervention & chaos,’ rebuild ‘depleted’ US military

the down side is
all the overseas military intervention makes their local investment impossible, and so forces investment in the ww.reserve currency - the USD, which is what is keeping the US dollar afloat currently.

as long as trump brings back manufacturing to compensate for the bubble crash it might work
but then, not doing it, the OBAMA, bush, clinton, bubble will crash anyway

I fully agree with Trump on this one. The day the US is no longer able to challenge militarily, we will see some of the smaller countries occupied by their stronger neighbours, and that should never happen.

Re: Trump vows to end overseas ‘intervention & chaos,’ rebuild ‘depleted’ US military

well, the us is currently that bigger country
and trump seems to have recognized that currently it's about using the us as a merc force for the profit of a few elites
...as former Marine commandant, Smedley Butler, the most decorated soldier in US history, always said it was

But if the US stops interfering internationally, who would stop the stronger neighbors from occupying the smaller countries?

There you go again, ruining a perfectly entertaining thread with logical questions. You should just go away

It would appear your question has made one of our Canadian wannabees uncomfortable.
