Screw 'em. They never did anything to protect American liberty or the property rights of Americans.
Plenty of soldiers from other countries died in the Gulf Wars but now we don’t need them.

It's up to us my fellow taxpayers!

Israel has a blank check but NATO allies need to ante up 2%

Tell that to the families who lost loved ones fighting alongside of US Soldiers in Afghanistan after 911!

Don't forget--they also have universal healthcare, mostly free college, and free abortions on demand.

That is the fault of the countries who got involved in the stupid U.S. wars of aggression and the people who allowed themselves to fight the stupid U.S. wars of aggression.

Israel needs to be cut off completely, as do NATO and all the other countries who receive confiscated U.S. income.

That being said, I want our military forces to leave the EU since they are deciding to cut their own throats.

What do you think? And please, can I get some serious responses?
I think we should pull our troops out of every country not our own.

Correct!

Besides, we'll be needing those able-bodied young people to fill all the new jobs.

It's Juvenile Leftist Idiocy and about all they have left.
Justin is underwater in an Election and wants to be seen as a "tough guy" to gain American Press Approval. He absolutely believes that if the American Press LOVES him, then his Party will win.

Time will tell, but I smell desperation in the air.

There is no official commitment -- there are guidelines and that's that.

So your feelings are a result of misinformation. What frickin idiocy is that?
