I do follow Fox news a bit. They don't teach truth. It would be a stretch for any commercial news company to do.
Please refer to an actual governemnt document and we can discuss on a good base clear issues.
While I have you, China will forever load the atmosphere with Carbon. If we stop, that will mean that we will reduce production, and China will get ahead of us. There are other ramifications. Is that worth it? All the while considering just the cost of going green?

China is bearing a big brunt of the climate change and is in the forefront to go green, HUGE solar projects and wind. They want nothing more than to get off fossil fuels, unlike big comps here.

@averagejoe1 saidOf the list of the top 10 countries ranked by military spending, the US is #1.
Ironic, a German weighing in on how much military the USA needs. What a laugh. What a laugh;.
Ask Canada, next door, etc if they feel comfortable with our military protecting everyone in the world. You know, Germany may be the last people we would help. UK is still cleaning up, and visiting graves of the slaughtered families, children, grannies.....
You might ...[text shortened]... ld it reach, say, Romania, just to see how we would respond? Hello? Libs don't answer questions.
And spends more than #2 to #10 combined.
Yes, being the policeman of the world will contribute to that imbalance.
There is a valid point to be made there.
But...... the US is a country with 5% of the world's population consuming 25% of the world's natural resources.
How much of the $$ to the military goes to maintaining that disproportionate consumption ?
Also commonly known as "protecting American interests abroad".
For all those who bleat that "America is being treated very unfairly" (a favorite phrase of Trump), I just think that you guys aren't getting that bad a deal.

I just picked one, like Ukraine. I am sure they say thank you very much.....Russia would have gobbled them up. Had that happened, the adjacent countries, next in line to be gobbled, would be begging for Trump! Give us Repubs a break, please.
And the libs on the Forum have indeed 'treated America unfairly ' by not applauding Trump for forcing NATO countries to pony-up all the money they owed to the global fund.
Give us a Repubs a break, please.

@averagejoe1 saidWhy ever should we? You never gave anyone else a break - except the multi-billionaires such as Mark "crash my servers" Zuckerberg, Bill "a million spam mails a day" Gates, and Charles and David "Hitler was right, you know" Koch.
