    Why would anyone in a military conflict ally with the US anymore if all it takes is a couple corrupt dipshits in Congress to leave them all completely defenseless during their time of need.

        Same reasons as EU, Russia, and China. Global economic/military partners rather than global competition/enemies.

        It needs a ‘base’, at every part of the world, which would become a hub for any kind of future deployment. Anyway, it’s not just the US, it can be any powerful countries. It just matter of how they do it, nice or not so nice way, direct or indirectly. China does it through business, e.g. silk road.

        Because we’re all human and protecting innocent lives shouldn’t end at one’s borders.

        Edit: Sorry. We’re not all human and protecting innocent lives should end at one’s borders.

        Thanks downvoters for making me see the light.
