You are very naive if you think US doesnt have interests in both places. I would agree that over time we need to remove our troops from europe and korea but you cant incent NK with nukes and the ability to overrun the border to go for it if the US withdrawls. Yuh think they will believe the US will nuke them if they attack? I doubt it--after all you would be the first to decry using nukes even if treaties involved. So if you want peacea and there is no sub for american power, we need to keep assets in place. What i do think we should do is make the folks we are helping pay the costs.
PS do you think putin without US presence and with the energy weapon wouldnt become dominant in europe? You think we shouldnt care about that either? Unlike some of the others, you know what isolationism can mean. We should be more prudent for sure but bugging out everywhere and anywhere, nope.

WR, > No more Daze of Guns and Butter; those are for rich countries, like the USA in Y2K.

Believe it or not, America is still rich, even in this economic downturn.

Doesn't mean we should be GloboCop, but it does put current events in the proper perspective.
