  1. I like Tulsi, and often agree with her. On this, I think she is being short sighted, as is Tucker. First, the numbers we are talking back are a pimple on the a** compared to what we spent on Iran or Afghanistan. Get over that. This is peanuts. The difference is that in this case we are supporting people willing to the fighting themselves (as opposed to South Vietnam, or Afghanistan for both the Soviets and the US, or Iraq). The other thing they both forget, or decide to ignore, is that most of the major wars of the last many hundreds of years have started in Europe. This is still the most developed part of the world, along with North America. China is big, as is Japan. On the other hand, both are in demographic decline and will be irrelevant in a couple of decades. In addition, China has a number of people living in poverty that is twice the population of the US. They are not the long-term threat. All their industries were developed by "Western" firms, and these are starting to move out. There are lots of alternatives. If you ignore war in Europe, then you ignore the next big war, and perhaps the final war. That is what NATO is about.
