    It’s because he doesn’t know the meaning of reciprocal, in any context.

      I commend you for offering the sort of comment that belongs at the top of this thread. I encourage everyone else to make that happen.

      They scrambled some eggs, for the American surfers visiting Costa Rica at that time. Does that count?

    Trump is a positively insane person, but I’m surprised at the vitriol directed towards his comments that allies pay for more of their defense, because that anger seems directly at odds with the belief held by many on the left that we shouldn’t spend so much on the military and have bases absolutely everywhere.

      We shouldn’t. The cost should be reason enough to bring them home. Although, I’m just curious that if Trump wants to have the biggest and best military, it would mean to have tit everywhere to fight Muzzles. Why doesn’t he get that?

      Because his thought process clearly has little to no consistency. Or he simply refuses to demonstrate it.

      Think of it this way, Trump has probably spent his whole life surrounded by people who’ve had no choice but to say yes to everything he says. I’d imagine that would cultivate a personality where random whims are rewarded and consistent, rational behavior is not encouraged.

    SCENE: Trump Tower

    Slightly Informed Person: The United States has 69 treaties with other countries that involve mutual def-

    Trump: Hey! Sweetheart! No, the blonde one on the stool. No—the other blonde. Yeah, you. Can you believe this shit? Tweet that the US has 69 treaties with other countries where we’d have to defend their borders. How nice, right? Let me tell you—France just sits there eating their cross-ants and their fraw grass while we build up the best military in the world. Oh, two many characters? You listen to me—I’m gonna fix that twitter stuff when I get in office. President Trump will be tweeting however he likes. Now get that out there honey and then come back here and sit on Manafort’s lap. He likes that. And Corey—get me a fucking cross-ant.

        They’re bringing herpes. They’re bringing stray pubes. They’re yeasty. And some, I’m sure, are good vaginas.

          So here’s an example of why we the voters should always be wary when politicians talk about being the protector of allies: Taiwan, the Republic of China. It was dubbed the unsinkable carrier by General McArthur, and was a strong US ally throughout the 60s. Then because of national interests we fucked them over and opened our legs to the People’s Republic of China, and while our relationship flourished with cheap shit we don’t need sold at Walmart, the Chinese living in Taiwan gets shafted from overpriced F-16s that are two generations behind the PROC, and relegated to “just beneath human” status by the State Department.

          So yeah, alliance for us works only if there’s a national interest behind it. We wouldn’t be in the Middle East if that place had nothing but sand. So just remember the trillions we spent is for special interest groups and lobbies.

            A lot of these countries actually do pay us money for the defensive shield we provide. It’s significantly less than what we actually spend, but there is reimbursement taking place.

              Appropriate.

              69 is a close sexual analog to mutual defense pacts (although, I guess, 69 is more of a mutual invasion pact, but details).

              The U.S. is good at international relations.
