> They are leaving this nation defenseless There is a shortage of courageous people. Military analysts and generals have sounded the alarm about serious gaps in capability, but they are all __retired__. The maga slogan is apparently just enough for media and public. The US doesn't build ships and is lacking the industrial capacity to sustain a prolonged war. The Biden program's to onshore certain industries seemed to work, but those programs have been thrown in the toilet. The tariff scams have scared people to invest and expand production in the US. It is one more example of how the concept "nation" or "common good" is meaningless for the 0,01%. You burn the village for personal profit. When the host dies they move to the next victim to parasite on, and so on. Autocracies can't sustain themself, they will eventually collapse because without freedom sustainable and efficient productivity is not possible in the long term. It is why the Putin clan needs to parasite on other countries (Transnistria, Georgia, Ukraine etc). And this is why the Republicans are talking about annexing other countries.
