Let Us Hope the US Alliance System is Not Destroyed

globalrralliance

Out of the lessons of the Second World War, one that it seemed the entire leadership of the US, from the end of the war to 2016, could agree upon was the importance of alliances to the safety, security, and influence of the United States. Generations of Americans worked to build such a world. Many thousands of Americans lost their lives in maintaining it.


It seems likely that this is on the verge of being destroyed on an alter of (misguided) transactions. Nothing has meaning or value beyond the perceived gains of a single transaction. In my view, it is small-minded and short term thinking.


If a country is an ally, their military and military spending HELPS you and means you have to spend less. You don't have to spend time and resources having to plan to defend yourself from an ally. This also makes you safer and saves you in blood and treasure. They collectively give you MORE influence over other nations and adversaries. It gives us favorable trade and policy relationships around the world.


A US standing alone has to plan for defense against EVERYONE. That costs more money. We learned from WWII it costs us in blood. A US standing alone looks much weaker to a place like China.


Our alliances are one of the greatest assets we have. Purposefully dropping your own best assets is ridiculously stupid.
