Hi FC,

I'm keeping an open mind on it all.

In a real way, if we are to be the policeman/warrior of the World defending Democracies of the world, then a contribution from those who benefit from our peace defauly should be shared globally.

So far, the political class have not been supportive to that cost sharing - which I view as timidity. They've shown the timidity of doing it for free. I'm a firm believer that there is NO FREE LUNCH in this world.

Our weapons so far have proven to be affective, as we have held back the truly lethal systems.

That has to be seen and in the back of all adversary's minds.

Not knowing the final result of this new stance, I have at least admiration for Trump saying it like it is/must be in the future.

So far it appears to me that those who were riding on the free wagon of protection are acting like spoiled children when told they need to start paying rent after you turn 18 and want to live with Mom and Dad.

I remember my awakening when I went to Flint Michigan and had a UAW job that allowed me to pay for my tuition at GMI, plus books plus gas and plus insurance. It was quite an adjustment - but I survived and made the best of it.

I'm thinking we'll see a lot of that in the near future.

If so, I'm very optimistic and long everything I've bought for dividend revenue.

Bob
