I don't understand why MAGAcels are so enthusiastic about shutting off allies and burning bridges. They really want to take all the work done with the Marshall Plan, NATO, all the trade deals an investments and throw them into a trash bin out of spite and in exchange of zero gains.

No offense but you two are seething provincials worried that the core will turn off the protection tap because they're bored of you. Framing it as "concern" about the core's standing when in reality it's your own standing you're worried about is silly. Be born in the centre next time tbh.
That said I am with you guys at how quick the pivot was from IR liberalism to straight up isolationism in the US but that tenent isn't exactly rare in the burger right. Think the people on top have to make the benefits of the "American Empire" more clear to your average burger rather than framing it in vague freedom and democracy terms.

I shouldn't have to worry about my support being cut off when our country is paying our fair share and even a little above
I always valued strong military and think army spending is a necessity. And so I see reducing your military prowess as a foolish move, especially when you're the largest military in the world while the supposed "2nd strongest" has been getting too uppity and increasing their spending exponentially the past few years

you seem to have a lot of faith in how money is actually spent by the us government for 750 military bases around the world. surely all of it is done in the interests of national security, distrubuted by the smartest people.

I'm a global provincial, but my country is not at risk of being invaded and it doesn't even have US protection like Poland lol.
That was my main point, I was referring not just security but rather the whole bulk of networks and tarde relationships the US created with Europe and the rest of the world after WW2 ended. Of course non-Americans are more concerned with their own countries (like any sane person would), that doesn't mean the US and it's industries, banks, and services sectors didn't benefit from said trade relationships (if not straight up foreign meddling in the case of some countries) because they did massively, and I agree is a though point to see to the average burger.
The end of the Cold War sort of made the right-wing retreat as the threat of communism vanished.

I mean was it a retreat or was it a rout? Now the main "enemy" had disappeared rightoids took heavy beatings around a lot of the Western world during the 90s, especially in the Anglo countries. Some recovering by the middle of the decade some getting JUSTed well into the 00s.
Nevermind while said relationships and "meddling" may be good overall for the US it's not surprising a country which bills itself as the defender of freedom pauches at the more egregious forms of such to the point of overcorrection.

The benefit is all the money, it's not a hard concept.
Preventing wars and keeping trade partners is more profitable than anything else
R-slurs also see whatever big military spend without realizing it all goes back into the economy anyway

That needs to be made more clear to the average burger then though the latter point sounds like supply-side or "trickle down" economics which has been generally demonised in popular discourse so it may still not go over well then.

military spending isn't exactly the same as it is often "trickle up", ie giving loads of r-slurs money to blow on cars to crash. Of course CEOs of weapon makers get a good chunk as well, but those companies do actually hire people and manufacture real things at the end of the day compared to hedge funds

There's a difference between stopping being the world's policeman and becoming North Korea. There's room to pull back a bit. Not that I expect to agree with how far Trump decides to go with it, though.

What advantage does the extension of eastern Europe in NATO do for the US? Eastern Europe mostly just fuels the German industry, which is a competitor of the US economy.
