Yep. Heard about that elsewhere, too. Hard to think it's not a plan to cause havoc here.

We all know that domestic welfare isn't about helping the recipient. It's nothing more than a means of control. What's going to happen to American clout on the world stage once the rest of the world puts on their big boy pants and learns they can fend for themselves without the aid of America? Is that the real fear here?

It's like welfare on an international scale. We complain about our own people not taking responsibility for themselves, but apparently love giving handouts to foreign nations. Italy cut its military spending by 40% in the last 2 years???? I wonder who they expect to take up the slack?

Like holding the deed to a property but not really. The end product is the same.

Good god man, that is something you keep to yourself.

Nah, the tech nerds are all over Reddit. They continually share stuff.

Ah, that would explain him bragging about "upvotes" and invisible internet cool points.

Maybe I should have put a BREAKING in front of that...

I can only speak for myself, but I have no fear of that.

In fact, that strikes me as very out of touch with how foreign policy is made and executed.

My fear is that America is not, and will not, act in America's best interest. And that isn't as one-dimensional as it sounds. Americans are charitable, so I expect foreign policy to reflect that. Americans believe in self-defense and self-determination. I expect our foreign policy to reflect those ideals.

I expect our foreign policy to exhibit the best of American characteristics.

I fear it does not.

Heh, nah. Someone I follow on Twitter posted that pic.
