It seems, to me, like the fuck you got mine theory of human civilization..and, in my experience, that's how everyone ends up with nothing.
The United States cannot be a World Police force; we have our own problems. Do not let the war in Ukraine turn into a fiscal black hole, or, worse, the detonator for WW III.
$18 billion out of a defense budget of nearly $2 trillion is hardly the harbinger of a ‘fiscal black hole’.
