On that note, the US spends almost as much in defense as the entire rest of the world.
Losing a "war" in the middle East would not affect the US very much outside reputation.
- robocat 9y agoCalling it “defence” is almost Orwellian... when the majority of the budget is spent on attack and offence in other countries?
- mistermann 9y agoThis is true with the current realities of oil supply, maybe not so much 10 or 20 years ago. With indefinite domestic/local supplies now established, I really wish we could let them live their lives without our interference.

As you state, if you are conducting defensive operations, how can it be that failure of that defence will not impact your country.
