That's pretty bad.
- mhb 8mo agoSweden too. So there's that.
- cess11 8mo agoWhat do you mean?
- mhb 8mo agoI mean that it's one thing to think it's bad to be defending the US. And it's another thing to think it's bad for the US to be defending the place you live.
- cess11 8mo agoIt doesn't. US presence where I live, make it a target.
- mhb 8mo agoM'okay. Cops are evil, military is evil. Looks bleak.
- cess11 8mo agoI'd prefer we kicked out the usians and reformed back into people's defense forces. I've spent some time in the military but didn't pursue it because they made a law where we could be ordered to participate in foreign missions, and at the time I knew people who had been to Afghanistan and helped out protecting US drug barons. They weren't feeling very good and got very little assistance with their psychiatric issues, like going to parties and drinking and crying a lot and sometimes tell stories about kids they'd murdered.
- mhb 8mo agoThat sounds reasonable but is it realistic to believe that with military spending of 10% of your potential adversary (i.e., Russia) Sweden would be able to mount a credible defense on its own?
