Or how about we reduce our military spending and influence because we are spending 700 billion on it a year? Let me put that in perspective: China is closest to us with around 145 billion. We make up 41 percent of the world's military budget. Why do we need soldiers in Germany? Belgium? Japan? Greece? Australia? Spain? Portugal? The U.K.? The Netherlands? Canada? Guatemala? Greenland? We have more troops in Japan than Hawaii and Alaska combined!

Yes, our "greatest ally" Israel (who gave our military secrets to the Chinese and Russians) needs protection from a "nuclear armed" Iran.
Quote:not to mention the many state sponsored terrorist factions there, and North Korea continues to rattle its sabers
Oh boy, what is North Korea going to do? Sent Kim Jong Un to eat us? Even they are smart enough not to attack South Korea who is backed by THE ENTIRE FUCKING UNITED NATIONS.
Not to mention China wouldn't help them, they don't want a refugee problem. And taking out North Korea would be like leveling a strip mall to build a parking lot.
