          It’s easy to boast about your country’s defenses and what not when your country hasn’t been regularly in devastating wars on their own territory.

          The USA does have some brilliant minds of it’s own, don’t get me wrong. But most, if not all technology the USA has is either derived or completely developed by Europe, from Germany, the UK, or even France.

            👌👍 I’m sure it has nothing to do with the anemic funding or the 70 years America has spent making sure it can project power anywhere on the planet.

            Good Lord 🤣

            Why not? This thread hits literally every other obnoxious take on the topic.

            … You really think this place is more enlightened than reddit? It’s identical except for the number of people.

      An american saying “don’t come to us for bombs” is like a mexican saying don’t come to us for tacos.
